The Russian Defense Ministry said that when the McCain crossed about 1.2 miles into the bay, its anti-submarine destroyer Admiral Vinogradov threatened the ship via an international communication channel that it would “force (the McCain) out of the country’s territorial waters in a ramming maneuver” if they did not leave, according to the state-owned TASS news website. – STORY

I heard the Russians ran off an American ship, now I know why.
I like naval ships that aren’t threatened by Russians.
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHA ^^^^^^
Dainny for the win.
Obama went a long way in breaking the spirit of our military. The ship commanders seem a little too adverse to confrontation.
A few years ago nobody dared challenge the US Navy on the high seas, now it’s routine for chickenshit third world countries like Iran and Russia to do so.
This smells like bullshit! McCain and the Russians were totally sympatico.
Russia isn’t our Enemy… CHINA IS! and DemoKKKrats!
It was singin’ like a canary.
McCain lookout: “Sir, the Russian destroyer is at RAMMING SPEED with a zero angle on the bow!”
McCain captain: “Reverse course! LEFT full rudder! Ahead flank!”
(And his legacy lives on…)
Ramming a US ship would be suicide for them and announcing you’re going to ram it simply means they’re not going to do it.
Announcing it means they couldn’t claim it was an accidental.
If Biden was ever to be president he’d probably have a ship named the USS camel toe.
The Russians have accepted Biden as President-elect, and they didn’t waste any time shitting on us. Get used to it.
@ Tony R: 100K^s. “Wait for it!”, as they say…
When they name a naval vessel after Trump it’ll be HUGE, not a skinny missile ship.
The Russians wanted the USS McCain to put in their Viet Nam museum.
The crew should have scuttled it in honor of it’s namesake!
Named after father and grandfather who were admirals.
