I cant see what the fuss is about really. It was only 3 weeks ago that a Russian frigate and tanker stored and refuelled in Spain and the west didnt make a song and dance about that.
Peter the Great was in Limassol in 2014 getting repaired and refuelled and nobody mentioned that.
Plenty of non Nato ships use Nato ports and we`re not actually at war with russia.
As for old smokey joe that the media keeps mentioning, I reckon that was just sticking up 2 fingers to us, it wasnt smoking the last 2 days.
