TODAY, a Russian ship rammed a Ukrainian tugboat (below) sailing from the Black Sea to the Sea of Azov
Russian special forces captured the tugboat & 2 more Ukrainian ships, claiming they violated Russian waters
...a 2003 treaty says the waters are shared
The Black Sea and Sea of Azov are connected only by a narrow waterway called the Kerch Strait.
...Russia has now blocked that waterway, cutting off two of Ukraine’s most important ports.
Russia is now blocking Ukraine from accessing their Sea of Azov ports by parking this big-ass Russian ship under a Russian-controlled bridge
...the Bridge of Crimea is 11 miles long and connects Russian annexed Crimea with Russia.
In addition to their ship parked under the bridge, Russian is buzzing fighter jets from above.
UN Ambassador Nikki Haley tweeted today that an emergency UN Security Council meeting has been called for Monday morning.
WHILE THIS INTERNATIONAL, RUSSIA-FUELED SHIT-STORM IS GOING DOWN, Trump is busy stuffing his face, tweet-attacking Hillary, the women and kids at the border seeking asylum, and NATO
...and, of course, tweet-praising Mississippi Repub Cindy Hyde-Smith.
