#2 Why is the article in non-WOT? EUrabia is one of the second-tier terrorism enablers.

#3 Let 'em try and stop an American vessel.

At the first shot fired across their bow, the EUnichs will turn tail and run for shore.

These clowns are a legend in their own minds.

#7 This isn't aimed at US ships, at least not at first.

It's aimed at bringing all European countries to heel in compliance with their unelected masters in Brussels. THEN they impose their economically-destructive policies on anyone else who trades with them ... i.e. the US, because there's no way in hell they'll try it with China.

#8 DMFD that's a marvelous picture on many levels, at first glance they're transporting the airplane somewhere (San Diego, Pensacola?) by water, but after a bit of thought you could launch and recover a Harrier this way.

Hummmm,

#9 not SD - no radio tower along north end of bay (Airport flight path) and the topography's wrong...

#15 San Francisco Bay...looking due West towards Sutro Tower (radio TV tower) is just in back of Twin Peaks..

Barge looks to be heading from Hunters Point Ship Yard area to to Alameda Air Station in the East Bay.

the open water between the two is also the quarantine area for ships waiting Coast Guard and Customs.

San Francisco Bay bridge would be just out of sight to the right.
