According to a defense official, a Russian frigate came within 150 yards of the USS San Jacinto in the Mediterranean Sea.
Yeah, try that with President Trump. He’d find the nearest missile launcher and say “you’re fired!”

Don’t fire ’til you see the whites of their
eyesknuckles!!In ’84 I remember seeing a Soviet frigate pull up along us in the Med. Not close enough for an unrep though. Also saw a Russian Bear fly over with four F-14 escorts.
Putin’s just trying to get his licks in, and new precedent established, before president “Don’t Call My Bluff” is replaced.
Putin Sacks EVERY Commander in his Baltic Fleet in Stalin-Style Purge ‘After Top Brass Refusal To Follow His Orders To Confront Western Ships’
UK Daily Mail | July 12, 2016 | Jennifer Newton
“Vladimir Putin has sacked every single commander in Russia’s Baltic fleet in what has been described as a ‘Stalin-style’ purge. Up to 50 officers of the fleet were fired alongside Vice Admiral Viktor Kravchuk and his chief of staff Rear Admiral Sergei Popov after they reportedly refused to follow orders to confront Western ships.”
That was no Stalin style purge. Uncle Joe would have had them shot.
San Jacinto? Under President Trump that ship has an American name. USS Saint Jack.
Yes, San Jacinto, where Texans kicked Santa Annas butt up around his ears in 1836.
