On Friday, Fox Business reported that a Russian warship has entered the eastern Mediterranean, heading towards the direction of the two U.S. Navy destroyers that were used for launching the missiles on Syria Thursday night.

This could get ugly quick,

I do not think either Putin or Trump will tolerate losing any 'face'.

Fart for freedom, fart for liberty and fart proudly.  - Benjamin Franklin

...Obsta principiis—Nip the shoots of arbitrary power in the bud, is the only maxim which can ever preserve the liberties of any people. When the people give way, their deceivers, betrayers and destroyers press upon them so fast that there is no resisting afterwards. The nature of the encroachment upon [the] American constitution is such, as to grow every day more and more encroaching. Like a cancer, it eats faster and faster every hour." - John Adams, February 6, 1775

No, it won't.  The Russian ship will shadow them for a few days, and then wander off.  There's no way in hell either we or the Russians will fire on each other.

The real danger is that Trump will treat this as a one-off sort of thing, and move on to the next tweet.

Nah. The eastern Meditteranean apparently is this frigate's usual duty station.

Believe me, the Ruskies already have a sub within striking distance. The frigate is all show.

How to lose credibility while posting:
1. Trump is never wrong.
2. Default to the most puerile emoticon you can find. This is especially useful when you can't win an argument on merits.
3. Be falsely ingratiating, completely but politely dismissive without talking to the points, and bring up Hillary whenever the conversation is really about conservatism.
4. When all else fails, remember rule #1 and #2. Emoticons are like the poor man's tweet!

Yep, this is just all part of the show and dance.
