Special Relationship at work

Just wondering out aloud.....

Is the Russian Bear attempting to regain it's military staus of old?

Will our government stop the ship, or even board it for checking, once it enters the English Channel?

Will the cancellation of the ships insurance actually stop it from docking in Syria?

Yes, a bit of a pickle situation. But as usual Russia being naughty and knowing
it's being naughty too.

Russia really doesn't need the cash -- and certainly those who would cash from the sale of helicopters don't need cash.

Steal the helicopters, sell them to Israel, give the proceeds to Greece.

Nah, that is the other super powers problem (China). Just wait until Kim declares that North Korea includes Manchuria.


Barry ........ You just might as well flog nukes to North Korea!

WTF kinda politically correct term is that?
Good Lord.

Liberace had a 'special relationship' with somebody that has never been revealed.

I watched his hearse drive though the desert.
