US warship docks in Georgia
Dec 29, 2008, 13:43 GMT
Moscow/Tbilsi - A US warship docked in Georgia's Black Sea port of Poti on Monday in a marker of support for the post-Soviet state since its war with Russia in August.
The USS Taylor guided-missile frigate would stay for two-days during which the 20-member crew would join in cultural and community events, a spokesman for the US embassy in said. The US Navy had made similar port calls since 2001, he added.
Moscow strongly protested the United States' use of warships to deliver aide to its ally Georgia, which shares its coast with Russia, in the wake the five-day conflict.
Washington and NATO have since ramped up their presence in the Black Sea, where Russia's southern fleet is based.

Seek not war my friend, the United States of America shall do the right thing, even if it has to. Long live democracy, human rights and freedoms.
code red ha ha ha, what a propagandized brainwashed idiot
These frequent visits by US warships are nothing but a cover to covertly deliver advanced weapons to the Georgian Military. There will be a next war between Russia and Georgia and during this war the Russians will be humiliated by these weapons that the Americans are pumping into Georgia as we speak. Russia made a grave mistake by not totally occupying all of Georgia and controlling her ports. By trying to appease NATO and those spineless Europeans she has allowed a nation on her border to be armed to the teeth to defeat her in the next war.
i bet Russia will be attacked from 2 fronts within the next twenty years. Poland and Caucasus. Warmongering Usa will never have enough until total control of Eurasia. Just check the bases established around Russia, missile defence etc etc etc. Human rights my ar**.....
breakdown or need help getting back home to America?
The Kirov battlecruiser could blast it to pieces from 600 miles distance.
