US Navy ship sails into Russian Bay Petr the great, challenges Rus territory.

Oh, so pointless inflammation is only pertinent when its near Vladivostok....

That's not even vaguely what I said, you're not going to derail the conversation with random bad faith arguments that easily.

Be better.

Yea, but it is what you said.

As pointless as when russkie militay airplanes routinely violate neighbouring countries.

Yup they do that once in a while, so i don't get why when the US does it's a bigger deal. People in glass houses and all that.

Dunno why US did this either. That being said "once is a while"? it's frequently.

Might have understated it a bit.

Well, Russians been lacking in the tech area since Sputnik. Not easy to navigate around a round bigass stellar object.

Another pointless conflict... Why is Russia claiming such a vast amount of open water, and why does a US Navy ship feel the need to even sail there? Vladivostok is a major russian naval base, isn't it?

I mean, just because you're in your legal right to do something doesn't mean you have the need to do so just to piss someone off... Douchbag move to counter a douchbag move. An escalation of douchebaggery.

Probably for the same reasons that russian fighter jets keep buzzing our bombers, etc. To test and learn the opponents responses to these incursions.
