Maybe PRESIDENT CLINTON needs to talk to the Ruskys. He had more success in NORTH KOREA than his wife.

Yeah! Great catch! Reminded me of :

“Lady... please to put your hands up!” Emerghency, Emerghency everybody out in the streets....

From: “The Russians are Coming, The Russians are Coming”

Pretty sure Martha’s Vineyard “spetznaz” swat team can handle the russkies... if they’re not otherwise occupied scaring the “nancy boys” out of the dunes.

It’s all a big game...If there was ever a real threat or tension we would never hear about these subs operating (i.e.: patrolling) off our beaches...

The mere fact that they are releasing the boat types is indicative of “we know exactly where they are”, and the game to see how well each crews can track and evade is a well respected practice on both sides...

I’ve been thru several real time tracking encounters with the Soviet/Russian submarine force...They are skilled and dedicated, yet in truth, both sides know who is the better at the game...

I would not sweat this activity too much...Someone with too much time on their hands, in the state controlled media, has been reading too much Tom Clancey recently...

I’ve been by Cecil Field in Jax, FL quite a few still there and they do touch and goes at Patrick AFB sometimes. But I heard Cecil had been deactivated so I don’t know if they’re just parked.

Hey, Putin, bring it. I speak some Russian and they have a 10% flat tax in Russia. Things could be looking up.

Either that or the Russians want to trade in their Clunkers.

Yeah, cause we know they have no geezers to trade in at our pad.

There should be stepped up satellite and submarine monitoring of the ports of Murmansk and the Vladivostok. All the submarines in the Russian naval fleet originate from these ports. The Atlantic fleet originate from Murmansk and the Pacific fleet originate from Vladivostok.SOSUS net should give us good locations to where these subs are.

Good. These days the average person can use Google Earth. One guy caught a Chinese boomer.

They’re not ballistic missile subs. This is mainly for domestic consumption back home to distract from their embarrassing missile tests as of late.
