    The honeymoon's over

    Russian spy ship spotted closer to US, near Navy submarine base
    The Russian spy ship's venture near the U.S. mainland follows other recent Russian provocations -- four Russian jets buzzed a U.S. Navy destroyer in the Black Sea on Friday, coming within 200 yards of USS Porter. The Russian jets had their identifying transponders turned off and ignored repeated radio calls from the American warship.

    Russian spy boats off our coasts are nothing new. They've always been there. The only difference between this one and the rest, is that this one is heading farther north than usual.

    This whole "Russian Spy Ship" incident is nothing more than an attempt, by the Left, to try and show that all this is highly unusual and Trump's fault, when in reality, it's hardly even worth mentioning in the news.

    But, the Left will take a crumb and try to make it into a full loaf, if they can.

    It's borderline fake news, in that the ship is there, but it's nothing new for them or for us.

    This is nothing to get excited about. Just an indication that FOX news (like the rest of the asshole media) is trying to bring heat on Trump. I don't claim to know anything in particular about SIGINT but I have a pretty good idea this ship isn't picking up anything that the forest of antennas on the Russian embassy located on high ground in Washington D.C. aren't picking up.

    Well if you have "news" in the name of your company don't you kind of have to report the news to stay relevant?

    They still do but at an increased rate in the last few years. Bear H's prowling around northern Europe is a weekly event. Putin is really spending some cash on his mil right now.
