This is a good thing

We are sending the Russians a message here when we steam these kind of ships into the Black Sea. The message is clear to Putin & his crew: try any shit and it will cost you some serious assets. Russia is currently trying to establish footholds that it thinks will cripple the Georgian economy and completely cut it of from the rest of the world. If we let Putin and his circle of ex-KGB cronies running the show in Moscow do this we can almost be guaranteed to see more Russian aggression against their neighbors and a resurgence of the tensions and actions of the Cold War for sure. If anything the world has been send a harsh message that Islamist radicals are not the only things to worry about. A resurgent and oil & gas money rich Russia wants to kick Europe around, and China wants to do the same in Asia. I have a feeling that many of the usual America haters will soon be acting like the usual crack addicts in hard need of a fix offering oral services in return for drugs and begging the US for help and protection. The members of the MSM are keeping this whole conflict low key because they all know that it harms inexperienced Obama for the coming elections.
