Russian ships are clearing port to avoid establish an at sea Air Defense/Early warning wall. They are likely 30-50 miles west along the axis from Latakia to Tartus. Likely 2-3 small surface groups. It’s for their own good because if this escalates they are dead meat in port. https://t.co/edZJ81NFqZ

The world is upside down today. Paul Ryan is no longer Speaker of the House. John Boehner is no longer opposed to marijuana. The only thing we can count on is that Donald Trump is still a fucking moron. – Andy Borowitz
