Yes, Russia has made it clear to the world that it ,in fact, build ships. To prove this, they are sending one through the Panama Canal to visit Venezuela. Americans should be shocked and appalled by this. We should view this as an act of aggression. Putin thinks it is.
It will be only a matter of years before the Russians learn to build airplanes too. No doubt they will fly them of Brazil in a tour de force.
In all seriousness, how should we, as Americans, react to this blatant insult from Russia? A preemptive strike perhaps? Or should we wait and see what they do? Personally, I think that Putin and Medvedev have shown to the world that they are too immature to run a country. (They claimed the North Pole last year, it will only be a matter of time before the South falls into their hands as well. From there, the moon is only 238,857 miles away!) Really, we should just exclude them from all international organizations (except the U.N., it would be tough to kick them out of that) and ignore them until they do something bold enough to actually draw out attention. These "joint maneuvers" with Venezuela are just meant to intimidate us. The Kremlin is angry at our deployment of warships to Georgia, so this is the reaction, much like a child throwing a temper-tantrum when he is put in time out for stealing another kid's lunch.
