Fuck'em.
PARIS (AP) — Hundreds of Russian sailors pulled out of a French port Thursday, bearing perfumes for their loved ones but lacking the controversial bounty they came for: a 1-billion-euro, French-built warship that has become a hostage to the biggest East-West conflict since the Cold War. The Vladivostok helicopter carrier is part of a strange and divisive arms deal now on hold — and perhaps on the verge of collapse — because of the conflict in Ukraine. France built it for Russia's navy but is now having second thoughts, notably amid heavy U.S. criticism of the deal. http://finance.yahoo.com/news/russian-sailors-leaving-french-port-without-warship-132958271.html |

Good.
Change your title. It makes it sound like Ivan was able to make off with the ship. |

Damn, this is another thing to kick them while they're down. This last month or so is turning out disastrous for Russia.

Yeah, I first read it as the Russians came over and stole a ship from the French. I mean, it wouldn't surprise me in the least, but that's not what happened. View Quote View All Quotes View All Quotes Quoted:

Considering how the ruble devalued against the euro or the dollar, unless the contract was in euros, I'd cancel it too. The French would be giving it away at 50% less than what they negotiated for.

Interesting. If it's a French design it might even run and not sink.
I'll bet some Russian Captain is PISSED he did not get a ship where everything works. |

So who do they sell it to now?
The Phillippines could use it. |

Everybody is poking the bear. Hope it doesn't get pissed and rage.

If Russia has paid for the ship isnt it their ship? France just cant seize it unless there is a state of war, right?
