Russia haz a mad again.OSLO, May 24 (Reuters) - The world's largest aircraft carrier, the USS Gerald R. Ford, sailed into Oslo on Wednesday, a first for such a U.S. ship, in a show of NATO force at a time of heightened tension between NATO and Russia over the war in Ukraine.
The ship and its crew will be conducting training exercises with the Norwegian armed forces along the country's coast in the coming days, the Norwegian military said. The Russian embassy in Oslo condemned the aircraft carrier's Oslo visit. "There are no questions in the (Arctic) north that require a military solution, nor topics where outside intervention is needed," the embassy said in a Facebook post. https://www.reuters.com/world/europe/worlds-biggest-aircraft-carrier-sails-into-oslo-nato-exercises-2023-05-24/

The US Navy will sail where it will in international waters.

2. ironic that Vlad's war against "NATO encroachment" has actually led to NATO being closer
to Russia than it was before.

3. It's almost like he doesn't know what he's doing
Sort of like the president he tried to co-opt, only to find out too late that his puppet was ineffectual and the U.S. was too robust. We took some hits, but we're coming back, and we see Vlad's crap coming from a light year away.
