Putin will continue to troll the US. Putin will continue to deny any culpability in these events and Trump will believe him. We've seen it before
I saw that movie too...
(yes, I know it was a real thing...)
But does that apply to surface ships or just submerged submarines.
Generally accepted rules of the sea.
CROSSING PATHS
- Your vessel: You’re on a crossing course with another vessel that could result in a collision if neither boat changes course or speed.
- The other vessel’s on the right: It’s the privileged or stand-on vessel and you must let it pass in front of you.
- The other vessel is on the left: You’re the privileged or stand-on vessel and you must pass in front of the other vessel.
From the perspective of your ship. The ship on your port side (left side) has to give way. The ship on your starboard side (right side) has right of way.
Apply it and see what happens.
By the way, anyone remember how many collisions occurred in the Pacific fleet over the past few years. An Admiral even had to be fired as the inquiry found very poor training, etc, in his command.
"The move follows four Navy accidents in the Pacific since late January, including two collisions that left sailors dead and missing.
I know dick all about big boats but that looks fucking close!
I don't see why this is treated as something new that Russia is doing. It is not.
Ever hear of a Crazy Ivan Maneuver? The Russians have been doing this shit since the cold war days.
Fair enough, but that helicopter looks quite far away. If the craft was close to landing it would be very dangerous, but 1/2 mile? It's not like a carrier with a long approach flightpath.Sailing that close together at speed is super dangerous because of something called the Venturi effect. Basically a suction forms between the two ships that tries to pull them into a collision.
Point 1: The crazy Ivan was an attempt to clear their baffles.
Point 2: not purposefully risk a collision.
Still waiting for our resident Russian troll farm workers who insist this happens all the time to list all the times this has happened in open waters recently, how many rimes American ships/planes were the aggressors, and how many times it happened in the past when our sitting POTUS was an installed Russian stooge...
Tick tock. Apples meet oranges....
Like Trump you just outright lied and exaggerated you make your false point.

Obama told Mitt that the 1980's called and wanted their policy, Slick Willy used the WH as an AirBnB for the Chinese and Biden stated that China wasn't a threat. Iran got money and a nice deal under Obama, and Democrats were/are supporting Maduro. Tell me again how I lied.
OP acting like this is something new or something. This crap has been happening for decades. Anybody remember when Russian jets overflew a US destroyer in the black sea during Obamas administration? I'm sure the OP was creating posts about how cozy Obama was with the Russians. And how we need to be tough and start a shooting war over dick measuring contests by two world powers.

Or when they actually ran into one of our ships.

Reagan, that damn Russia lover!
Are you of the opinion that the Cold War is still happening?

Shocking photos show Russian destroyer playing a dangerous game of chicken with a US warship
A Russian destroyer challenged a US warship to an unusual showdown in the Pacific on Friday, forcing it to take sudden evasive action.
The destroyer, according to US 7th Fleet, engaged in "unsafe and unprofessional" behavior, sailing extremely close to the Ticonderoga-class cruiser USS Chancellorsville and risking a collision with the US vessel.
It came just a few days after a Russian fighter aggressively buzzed a US Navy aircraft over the Mediterranean Sea.
In spite of all this, there is a huge swath of our population cozying up to all things Russian... They are attacking our democracy at every level and one party is digging it so long as it makes a libtard cry...
In the end, Putin and Trump's little affair is going to cost real human lives... I don't fear brown people crossing my border or blowing up my churches any more... Now I have a healthy fear that when two narcissistic children start dick measuring contests we all lose...
Treason...
Troll bot trolls.Ok, first of all, you linked CNN as a source. Which just shows you as an AntiRussian troll. Your goal is to incite the public against the Russians, so you fabricate fake info and put up links to fake news to make Russia look bad. How original.
Everybody knows CNN lies. EVERYBODY. CNN is pure garbage. No one with half a brain should believe anything CNN says.
There have been plenty of dangerous maneuvers throughout history, on BOTH sides. Not just Russians but Americans as well. Nothing new under the sun, and no reason to treat this minor, insignificant occurrence as anything special.
How do you get off saying the Russians are attacking your democracy? It's a ridiculous claim. Russians have better things to do than to attack YOUR democracy, which is actually not yours. Democracy, as a "system of government " does not "belong" to United States. It exists since ancient Rome and used by many countries. The Russians, especially the general public, (since you choose to blame Russians a whole) do not aim to take down the American government system any more than the American aim to topple the Russian government.
Hell, Jared Kushner was asked flat out if he would report it to the FBI if the Russians offered to help them again in 2020 and said 'I don't know', despite the fact that would be a crime.
And this entire bullshit rant is nullified by the fact that the US ship was flying flags indicating they were involved in active aircraft recovery. The Russian ship should have stayed over 1000 yards away. They didn't. End of story.Ok, first of all, you linked CNN as a source. Which just shows you as an AntiRussian troll.

And most importantly, I see a picture showing two ships. Neither one of these ships is ramming each other, there's no shots fired, nothing at all. Just a picture of two ships. It is not clear from the picture which ships these are. They might as well be African or Estonian ships for all I know. I do not see an American or Russian flag on either of these ships. If I show you a picture of two people with one looking like he is walking toward another, are you also going to scream that the person walking toward the other one acted aggressively or in a dangerous manner?! Give me a break!
