Dumb gaffe. Our bad. We don’t really want Soviet-era ships attacking us.
OK, honestly, I’ll give you it’s a funny, embarrassing error, but it took five days for *anybody *to realize these were Russian, not American, ships. Your definition of ‘pretty easy’ is off.
Well, I was going to vote for Obama but now I just don’t know after this huge gaffe. Maybe I should vote for the guy endorsed by someone who lost a debate to an empty chair.
The Tom Clancy novels are more like prophetic warnings about possible outcomes in a not too distant future. Also, survival guides.
“You like-a da weak sauce, eh? Weak sauce is good, yeah? I get you more weak sauce!”
There were hundreds of incidents between the US Navy and Soviet Navy during the Cold War.
Some examples are the the 1962 Cuban Missile Crisis, 1973 Mediterranean showdown and 1988 Black Sea incident.
My grandpa used to say stuff like this. Eventually he started to see commies crawling out of his closet, and thought his long-time neighbor across the street was actually Joe Stalin. We had to put him in a home. (Grandpa, not Stalin)
Those places are really quite nice moonshot925. You’ll have lots of new friends, and they serve really nice meals. You’ll love it.
I’m convinced. Obviously the Democrats were trying to appeal to the 1980s Soviet sympathizer vote. They just need more grey shirts and synthesizer music.
You realize that does nothing to change the " WTF?" nature of the OP, right?
No it doesn’t, it was a screw-up, on the scale of Romney’s team releasing an app that proclaimed “Amercia is with Mitt”. A footnote to a long campaign where both sides will make minor mistakes like this that are far distant from the actual things that matter.
Agreed, thus the “WTF?” nature of the OP I was responding too. Maybe I wasn’t clear on that.
I have an idea. Why don’t we let the Republicans be elected as the “Displayers of appropriate military images at veterans tributes” (and leave it to the adults to do the things like run the government)?
Let me be the first to nominate Romney to this very important and prestigious position.
With 5 student deferments during the Vietnam War, how could we vet him?
I was just gonna say the same thing.
There is an actual U.S. Communist Party. If Communists vote, it’s usually not for Democrats.
It’s really all the same.
There is a very thin line between the modern Progressivism of the Democratic Party and Communism.
You clearly have no clue what Communism is.
I’ve been designing some very stylish aluminum foil hats that are easily custom fitted. They are 100% guaranteed to block Soviet mind rays. Just sayin’.
The only people who disagree with you are all the Communists and all the Democrats.
Again, both sides disagree with you (and so do most other people) for reasons that ought to be obvious.
Funny, the line among many tea partiers is that progressives are Nazis, the reality is that progressives put down both Nazis and communists, most of the progressives I know do appreciate free enterprise, with only some controls and safety nets for all.
U.S. Navy warships, Russian Navy warships…It’s really all the same.
There is a very thin line between a ship being part of the U.S. Navy and a ship being part of the Russian Navy.
Right?
