The US and Russian warships came somewhere between 50 feet and 165 feet of each other, according to the two opposing reports, with both sides alleging their ships were forced to perform emergency manoeuvres to avoid a collision.
This latest incident comes just days after the US Navy accused Russia of intercepting a US aircraft and amid tensions with Moscow on a wide range of geopolitical issues. Last month, Secretary of State Mike Pompeo met Russian Vladimir Putin in the resort town of Sochi, where he warned Russia about interfering in US elections, taking a tougher public line than President Donald Trump on the issue.

"A Russian destroyer .... made an unsafe manoeuvre against USS Chancellorsville, closing to 50-100 feet, putting the safety of her crew and ship at risk," US Navy spokesman Cmdr. Clayton Doss told CNN in a statement.
"This unsafe action forced Chancellorsville to execute all engines back full and to manoeuvre to avoid collision," Doss said.

The US guided-missile cruiser was traveling in a straight line and trying to recover its helicopter when the incident occurred, he said.
"We consider Russia's actions during this interaction as unsafe and unprofessional," Doss said.
 
Guess what?

They have CNN pretty much everywhere and most of us can read.

How about something original like the Butters Asscrack Sweatcam?
 
Are you becoming a private news source?
see? these kind of unchristian comments are clearly why you need your church more than you need to be here. i'd pray for you but it'd be hypocritical.
 
Putin just met with the Chinese, together they have formed an alliance to harass our military at every opportunity, to test Trump now that he has been perceptibly weakened by the Democrats and the media. Now they will be able to say, when the shooting starts, that we are in the wrong with support from our media and feckless democrats.

All the twisting must be painful.

Lol.. The kool-aid is strong with this one.

I'll be excited to see the official tweet from the orange train wreck "denouncing the horrible actions of the US NAVY."

i don't doubt for one second that a chinese-russian alliance could be very bad news for the u.s and its allies; china's almost ready to topple the u.s as a world leader in trade and industry, and putin's been flexing his own military muscles all over the place.

i disagree with your reasoning: putin thought he had trump right where he wanted him, as a malleable puppet head-of-state easily manipulated by praise and his own fawning admiration of despots; however, since resistance from the dems and from within his own party is growing, trump is no longer able to concede to all russian influence as blatantly as before and so putin is doing what putin does = reminding trump of his "strength". trump simply doesn't have the political understanding and diplomatic nous to deal with the threats they pose individually, or together.
 
Putin knows the Republicans are nothing but hot air. But why worry? We have a stable genius leading us.

I totally disagree with that characterization as the alleged collusion with Putin was nothing more than a leftist fantasy. Putin never thought he had Trump under his thumb, never. Trump never did anything to help the Russians or Putin. However it has been revealed by the Russians a day ago that John Kerry colluded by supporting the Crimea annexation:

The Chinese are not about to displace the United States economically or militarily, though they are making progress on the military front. The Chinese economy is in big trouble. You need to study that a little closer. If push ever came to shove and the Chinese wanted to ramp up a military conflict, they would be harmed far worse than we as Trump could collapse their entire economy with a simple pen stroke. All it would take is an executive order denying the Chinese access to the American financial system.

You need to read Gordon Chang and Michael Pillsbury to understand the true condition of the Chinese economy and future options of the US vis a vis the Chinese Communist power plays.

Did you type this on a purely American made phone? iPad? Where do you think parts for your plastic shit box are made?

Why did 45 have to bailout the farmers?
 
I wonder which talking head talked about Chang or Pillsbury this week, cause we all know Vette cant comprehend anything above 3rd grade picture books

This is how Trump is Putin's bitch.

Our mission in Syria was to defeat ISIS and give tech, logistical and indirect fire support to include tactical air to ground support to the Kurds and freedom fighters. The U.S. forces in Syria also killed over 400 Russian mercenaries and Syrian regulars that amassed across the river near the Conoco outpost. That happened because the rules of engagement were changed, the gloves are off thanks to president Trump. Putin's near misses are bluster and an attempt to save face, his bitch embarrassed him.

Trump drew a line in the sand warning Syria's use of weapons of mass destruction will not go unpunished. He told Putin to get the fuck out of the way and hit Assad twice with Tomahawk strikes.

We have special ops in the ukraine training soldiers in conventional and asymmetrical warfare tactics along with arming them with anti tank weapons (javelin systems ) and other type of weapons. Obama was the president who wouldn't supply weapons for fear of losing them to enemy forces.

We don't need to push each other to the Brink. Putin can't beat us conventionally and he knows that, his only alternative if things get hot would be a pre-emptive nuclear strike. We've stood our ground in Syria, the Ukraine and are putting anti missile defense systems in poland along with 4000 U.S. troops as well as prepositioning heavy equipment ( M-1s, bradleys and other assorted equipment ). This is driving Trump's handler insane. Trump is smiling to his face and slapping the shit out of him behind the scenes.

You should try to settle this disagreement with canned vegetables.

For all of the money we are spending, NASA should NOT be talking about going to the Moon - We did that 50 years ago. They should be focused on the much bigger things we are doing, including Mars (of which the Moon is a part), Defense and Science!

If we are able to make the deal with Mexico, & there is a good chance that we will, they will begin purchasing Farm & Agricultural products at very high levels, starting immediately. If we are unable to make the deal, Mexico will begin paying Tariffs at the 5% level on Monday!

Nervous Nancy Pelosi is a disgrace to herself and her family for having made such a disgusting statement, especially since I was with foreign leaders overseas. There is no evidence for such a thing to have been said. Nervous Nancy & Dems are getting Zero work done in Congress....

China is subsidizing its product in order that it can continue to be sold in the USA. Many firms are leaving China for other countries, including the United States, in order to avoid paying the Tariffs. No visible increase in costs or inflation, but U.S. is taking in Billions!
