2. No surprise there. Navies always shadow ships from adversaries in their turf

3. the sheer fact that everytime a russian fleet travels they take with them.. a rescue tug.

4. Blow them out of the water as soon as they cross the line by even a pinky toe. No tolerance for this provocation.

5. It would be really terrible if a swarm of Ukrainian water drones found their way to Florida too.

6. Nothing to see here. It’s standard practice.

7. Don’t get too close, you’ll have to tow it somwhere!

8. Could you imagine if Russia was arming Cuba with long range missiles and S400?

   Here we go again!

9. When are they not?

10. Can we just blow it to kingdom come and say “Misclick”?

11. They should follow China’s lead, blasting them with water-cannons.

12. Lmao they have to bring a tugboat
