Glad to see our friends are back.
A top Russian general shrugged off two nuclear-powered Russian attack submarines that have been spotted off the U.S. East Coast, saying that they are part of regular patrols and in line with normal international practice.
…
U.S. defense officials said Tuesday that the Russian submarines had been patrolling in international waters for several days. While the activity was reminiscent of the Cold War, the U.S. officials said the submarines had done nothing to provoke concern.
What are they up to? More importantly, why is this in the news?
For some reason, they accuse us of the same.
Nogovitsyn said the patrols were “a normal thing” and suggested the U.S. also has submarines patrolling near Russia.
I can’t imagine why they would make that accusation. After all, we are all friends now.
Run silent, run deep… and run their asses back to Murmansk where they belong.
Is it possible they're there to get us accustomed to their presence for when they start protecting the folks drilling for OUR OIL off OUR shores?
The real headline should have read, "Russian Navy Subs Able to Make It to US Coast Without Sinking or Suffering a Major Engineering Casualty."
Hats off, personally. Those Russian sailors have real balls to make that trip in titanium coffins.
Two together? One must be carrying the tow lines.
