Panama Canal opens for Russian warship


www.austinnews.net
Russia has confirned it will send a warship through the Panama Canal for the first time since World War II.

The symbolic journey will see the Russian ship dock at a former US naval base.

In a humiliating gesture to the US, the Russian Navy announced it would visit the Rodman naval base; a name that Panama changed after it confiscated the base from the United States in 1999.

The US troops just 'happened' to be on a training excorsise around the time the conflict heated up. "Oh wow! I did not know that was going to happen...?!?!?"
And you are telling me the US military had NO involvement at all? Your kidding yourself.

And yes. The canal is now owned by Panama. and well it should be. which if you read is part of the point of the story. a Russian warship in a former US base.

Right.

Well it's way too close for me, I'll tell you that.

Keep an eye on to see how long they stay...or what they leave.

Nice find.

Maybe a little slap to the US is all...maybe not.
