COMMENT POSTED TO AN ARTICLE BY KATE NG IN THE INDEPENDENT
“British warship scrambles to respond to Russian vessel moving into Channel”
“'Leaving our families at this time of year is especially difficult, but national security doesn’t stop for Christmas,' says ship's commanding officer”
What a truly ridiculous article.
"Scrambles to respond"
"Especially hard this time of year"
"Tireless efforts"
This was a training ship full of young Russian cadets on a training exercise in a body of water everyone on the planet is entitled to freely enter.
They represent about the same "threat level" as a big gathering of Boy Scouts.
I don't know about the Royal Navy's efforts this way historically, but no one would have considered such an event worth reporting before Russo-phobia.
Russo-phobia manufactured and promoted ceaselessly by the United States.
And I guess editors at The Independent feel they must do their loyal bit.
You might call the incident, "Monty Python Takes on The Russian Navy."
