Russia’s Response to Black Sea Ships: “You’ll see.”
Posted on September 4th, 2008 by Jenny White
Russia is getting nervous about all the (war)ships massing in the Black Sea to provide aid and not incidentally a message of Western support to Georgia. Currently there are the following NATO ships there: two US, one Polish, one Spanish and one German. (see article)
I find Putin’s words rather disturbing, given Russia’s recent responses to provocation:
Putin, speaking in televised remarks during a trip to Uzbekistan, said “the reaction will be calm, without any hysteria. … But of course, there will be an answer.” When asked by reporters what measures Russia might take, Putin reportedly said, “You’ll see.”
