Why did they
have to send a destroyer (although it is ironic it is a destroyer that cannot destroy lol)
That to me, is the start of chest puffing, which could ultimately lead to a stand off at least, war at worst

On a slightly related note, (slightly!). I saw a post on Facebook, about Obama's stance (and the rest of the western world's) on the annexing of Ukraine/Crimea. But it is OK for the Israel annexing of Palestine/West Bank et al.
Another of my pet irritations - but i will try not to get started
