Things heating up again in the Black Sea

The U.S. Coast Guard cutter DALLAS arrives in Batumi, Georgia to offload humanitarian supplies.

The U.S. cancels the scheduled port call for the U.S. Coast Guard Cutter DALLAS in the Georgian port of Poti, and shifts it to the safer port of Batumi, where 1 U.S. Arliegh Burke class Destroyer is already present.  Meanwhile, Moscow has ordered the large cruiser MOSKVA back to the port of Poti.  More from the Navy Times.  This certainly raises the stakes again, as Russia is now questioning the presence of a NATO task force of ships which are also present in the Black Sea consisting of Spanish Turkish, and Polish vessels.  Some senior Russian officials have also accused the U.S. of offloading supplies that are other than humanitarian, and possibly military.  The U.S. has completely denied delivering anything but humanitarian supplies to Georgia.
