    Ras Putin is putting on a SHOW of strength - as often is the case of plastic, cardboard

    cartoon Action Man 'characters' - of little REAL substance.

    His ships are just using up a lot of wasted fuel - and WILL sail back home safely without

    a shot being fired - making RasP looking even sillier than before..

    Russia did not shoot a Malaysian plane down and why would Australians care anyway? Stop believing such nonsense. The plane was attacked by the Ukrainian military. The Dutch have made a thorough investigation.

    Putin did not use 10 warships and if he did, perhaps he thinks he may be attacked by the U.S. or Australian dupes. Why dont you criticize the dozens of U.S. warships that permanently situated off the coast in every country?

    NEMESIS: That is not a show of strength. That would be petulant and silly and Russia is anything but. It is to say to everyone, stop bullying me, I will stand up to the U.S. and its stooges like Australia and England in Russia's best interests.

    The reason to have warships moving with him is because the U.S. already has warships stationed around the globe and they dont have to bring them along.
