US Navy preparing to enter Black Sea as tensions rise between Russia, Ukraine

[ALMASDARNEWS] The U.S. Navy is making preparations to enter the Black Sea’s waters as tensions between Russia and Ukraine reach an all-time high over the recent detention of the Ukrainian sailors, a CNN report said on Wednesday.

According to the report, the U.S. military requested that the State Department notify ~~The Sick Man of Europe~~ Turkey
...the only place on the face of the earth that misses the Ottoman Empire....
about its potential plan to enter the Black Sea through the Bosphorus Strait.

CNN said that a State Department front man said, "the United States carries out its activities consistent with the terms of the Montreux Convention. We will not, however, comment on the nature of our diplomatic correspondence with the Government of Turkey."

#2 There is nothing wrong with the Bosphorus,
That couldn't be fixed with a little phosphorous.

OK, so it's not This Week In Poetry.

#3 Nothing but trouble in the Black Sea. We have no dog in this fight. Let the Ukrainians and Russians hash it out for themselves.

#5 Our captain was so good to us
He dipped his prick in phosphorus
It shined a light
All through the night
And steered us through the Bosporus
