Russia has claimed it can disable the entire US Navy in one fell swoop using powerful electronic signal jamming. A news report from the country - where the media is essentially controlled by the state - said the technology could render planes, ships and missiles useless.

I wonder if Donald Trump has done anything about this, or is planning to. Russia threatening us with this is very serious and I have a feeling Trump is not doing much. Could Russia really disable all planes and missiles through an electronic signal?

Is the government going to do anything about this issue? Or should the people have to worry about a near future war ahead?

If Russia can take Crimea who's going to stop them from taking other places?

I agree that Russia is 'robbing' Crimea because Crimea was an independent country. Of course Crimea wouldn't be able to fight against the forces of Russia, but Russia took over Crimea and took advantage of a smaller victim.

If Russia is starting to take back past territories from the Soviet's pre-break up area, then there is possibility that they may be planning to take back more than what they say what they've decided to stop with.

"Russia has banned a picture depicting President Vladimir Putin as a potentially gay clown."

As a public figure, like any, Putin should accept the pros and cons of being in his position, this included.

I dont think they should have went that far and banned any images of vladimir because he should know that being at such a high power people are going to be making photos and comments that arent so pleasing.

It appears Russia conducted a missile test that would technically be banned under the 1987 treaty. The US government hasn't officially warned Russia that it's technically a "violation," but it could be possible they've been testing stuff like this since 08...

This is interesting because I would have thought that the US government would have jumped on the opportunity to call another country out if they broke the terms of a treaty. I also don't know why the missiles are such a big deal because they were just testing them out. They weren't firing the missiles at anyone. It could still be a danger but until that happens I don't really think we should worry about it.

"Public contradictions, walkbacks and flip-flops have become a hallmark of how Trump's team has responded to the Russia probe, which was launched in 2016 and is now in its third year."

"As President I wanted to share with Russia (at an openly scheduled W.H. meeting) which I have the absolute right to do, facts pertaining ...to terrorism and airline flight safety. Humanitarian reasons, plus I want Russia to greatly step up their fight against ISIS & terrorism." (Trump) I feel like this just shows us that he is willing to admit that he is in/ has power and sharing about what his discussion is going to encounter, but if he is willing to go public with this then what else will he tell other leaders ?

Russia is "not seeking conflict with anyone", President Vladimir Putin has said in his annual Kremlin speech to parliament and the nation. "Unlike some foreign colleagues who see Russia as the enemy, we do not seek - and never sought - enemies. We need friends," he said.

In a speech at a foreign policy conference in Moscow, Putin said "during my recent telephone conversation with Mr. Donald Trump, our opinions coincided that the current, unsatisfactory state of Russia-US relations, undoubtedly must be straightened out. As I already have said, our country is prepared to go down our part of that road."

"The idea that Russia may not pay a price for the startling allegation of seeking to undermine American democracy with a series of cyber breaches is infuriating some senior Republicans, and putting even those less hostile to Trump in a tough political spot."

Hackers believed to be employed by the Russian government breached White House computer networks in recent weeks, temporarily disrupting services. Citing unnamed sources, the Washington Post reported there was no evidence that hackers had breached classified networks or that any of the systems were damaged.

I kinda like Russia.

It's just a hoax no worries :)

"The United States told an emergency meeting of the U.N. Security Council on Thursday that Russia has "outright lied" over its military activity inside Ukraine, where Russian-backed separatists have been fighting Ukrainian armed forces."

(CNN) -- Prime Minister Vladimir Putin says he has won Russia's presidential election, restoring the former KGB officer to the office he held for eight years before term limits forced him to step down in 2008.

By Barbara Starr Top U.S. and Russian military officials on Tuesday discussed the potential for the United States to share high-tech equipment to counter any use of improvised explosives by terrorists during the Sochi Olympics, a U.S. official told CNN. Joint Chiefs Chairman Gen. Martin Dempsey and his Russian counterpart, Gen.

I like this idea considering that there are so many people going to the olympics, Safety first.

This is a good solution if they are able to find a way to make it work. The Olympics are gonna be interesting this year with everyone on high alert.

"Russia approved the use of military force in Ukraine on Saturday, despite warnings of consequences from the West, and Ukraine responded by saying any invasion into its territory would be illegitimate."

"Russia warned Tuesday that any use of force in Ukraine's eastern region could lead to civil war, as Kiev seeks to regain control after pro-Moscow uprisings in three cities."

"Edward Snowden says he's offered "many times" to go to prison in the United States as part of a deal to return from exile in Russia but is still waiting for an answer from the American government."
