* Video showed frigate Admiral Essen launching cruise missiles after Vladimir Putin defied Western demands to ease tensions in Ukraine, where more than 100,000 Russian troops have deployed on the border
* The warships were joined by 50 Su-25SM3 fighter jets flying low across the water, which Russia claimed was routine defensive drilling, despite the presence of landing craft used for offensive amphibious action
* It comes after Washington expressed 'deep concern' at reports Putin intends to cut off parts of the Black Sea
* This could include access to Ukrainian ports in Sea of Azov, around which Crimean peninsula forms a barrier
* Satellite images from April 16 and 14 show large numbers of military aircraft at Crimea airbases
* Both Kirovskoye Airbase and Saki Airbase have numerous Russian fighter jets and helicopters stationed there
More than 20 Russian warships today staged naval exercises in the Black Sea as satellite images revealed a build up of army helicopters and fighter jets in Crimea.
The release of the satellite images came after the US condemned Russia's plans to blockade the Crimea as 'yet another unprovoked escalation' and as Russia insisted that it has the right to restrict foreign naval ships' movement in the region, rejecting both the US and Ukraine's complaints.
Tensions have soared between Moscow and the West over Russia massing troops on Ukraine's northern and eastern borders as well as on the Crimean peninsula it annexed in 2014.

They are waiting for the Democrat planned race riots. That is go time for Putin and Xi.
Putin never had a better friend than the DNC.
You forget he had a puppet trump they tried to get him back in the G7. So funny you think the race riots were planned after cops kill a man. But see no harm the Mayo nazis as yourself can storm the very icon of American democracy and see no issue.

Despite the unpredictable events that lead to fatal shootings, police nationwide have shot and killed almost the same number of people annually — nearly 1,000 — since The Post began its ...
Activists do not have to wait until after. They are ready on any day of any year, with fresh printed signs, call trees and other plans. It does not matter to the activists and the morons they lead what the person who got shot did or what the police did. They just go out protest and riot.

It would be better for Russia to be in the G7. It would be better for them to know that they would be richer and more prosperous as an ally than as a foe. If you want be a jackass and you do very much want to be a jackass, then you will not bring up that the China is in the WTO.
Why would we want Russia to be an ally? Because we will mix it up with China. Fighting China and Russia together, we lose. Fighting China with Russia as an US ally and we can win.
