Russia is warning us to not bother them when we\u2019re near Crimea, in regard to its buildup to do some thing to Ukraine. There are drills by the Russian military pending for the next few weeks.<\/p>\n

Essentially, Vlad does not want us watching him while he sets himself up to seize Ukraine (which has been tried before), although I\u2019m still not sure why he\u2019s so anxious to get his hands on it. Aside from having control of a port on the Black Sea, he does have access in the Great Frozen North Sea, but \u2013 well, the Black Sea is warmer and closer to the Med.<\/p>\n

From the article: MOSCOW \u2014 Russia insisted Tuesday that it has the right to restrict foreign naval ships\u2019 movement off Crimea, rejecting international criticism amid Western worries about a Russian troops buildup near Ukraine.<\/p>\n

Ukraine last week protested the Russian move to close broad areas of the Black Sea near Crimea to foreign navy ships and state vessels until November. The U.S. also aired its concern<\/a> Monday, with State Department spokesman Ned Price saying \u201cthis represents yet another unprovoked escalation in Moscow\u2019s ongoing campaign to undermine and destabilize Ukraine.\u201d<\/p>\n

Price noted that the move \u201cis particularly troubling amid credible reports of Russian troop buildup in occupied Crimea and around Ukraine\u2019s borders.\u201d<\/p>\n

The European Union also voiced concern about the troop buildup and the navigation restrictions. \u2013 article<\/p>\n

However, I just want you all to know that the USNavy is on the job, watching Vlad\u2019s Navy doing stuff.<\/p>\n

The video report is here: \u00a0https:\/\/www.militarytimes.com\/news\/your-military\/2021\/04\/13\/2-us-navy-ships-to-sail-black-sea-amid-russian-troop-buildup-near-ukraine\/<\/a><\/p>\n

Yes, there is a Russian troop buildup going on and the Russians will be practicing maneuvers in the Black Sea, but they spy on us all the time, don\u2019t they? Vlad is definitely up to something, just not saying what.<\/p>\n

And if anyone is interested, Alexandr Navalny is quite ill and possibly approaching terminal state, from being poisoned by one of Vlad\u2019s hamfisted servants. He may not survive, according to someone who knows him.
