US warship in the Black sea

Russia’s Foreign Ministry has voiced serious concerns about a US warship now coming close to its shores in the Black Sea, while the US regards it as an integral part of its plans to create a missile shield in Europe, which Russia opposes. The guided-missile cruiser USS Monterey is now taking part in annual joint military exercises conducted by NATO and Ukraine just off Russian shores. The Sea Breeze-2011 navy training is hosted by Ukraine and is joint drills for the Ukrainian and US Navy with the invited representatives of other countries.

I was in the U.S. Navy for 13 years... this happens all the time. We go there on a regular basis. Nothing to be alarmed about.

There's like 2 other posts about this same thing.

You should add to those instead of repeating this.

I'd be more alarmed if the Russians didn't make a stink about regularly planned naval exercises by their neighbors.
