can someone give me information, please. the russian ship headed to syria.

maddow implied the reason the ship turned around was putins meeting with obama. my husband read it was brittian canceling insurance? i figured it was a bit of both, obama and britian working together.

has anyone kept informed on this story that has more of the inside story to it?

Maddow was wrong - it had nothing to do with Obama, but insurance.

he is pretty good at giving facts. kinda bummed to find maddow would imply something that is not true though. i dont argue if i do not know.

All I. know is that the subject of cancelling insurance on ships carrying arms to Syria first came up about 4 days ago. That preceeded it being invoked. Then they used it against the ship which was 50 miles off the coast of Scotland. That trick cannot be used against the Russian Navy.
