Russia is going to put bases in Cuba or Venezuela or something, will BO even consider voicing opposition?

[Hardraade]

The Akula shouldn’t be even close to “undetectable” with the detection arrays that were in use once. Should be tracked as it left home base.

[A.A. Cunningham]

ancient(sic) propeller-driven Tupolev Tu-95 “Bear” bombers

The "learned" Oliva no doubt characterizes the BUFF as a dinosaur.

You kidding??...The Russians are Obama’s commie calvary.

[Vaquero]

Protecting Cuba’s drilling interests no doubt

[Vince Ferrer]

They ought to be getting friendly with us, rather than continuing to be an adversary. We don’t have our eyes on Siberia’s wide open spaces like China does. They are pairing with the wrong side.

He will have more flexibility after his reelection

[JRandomFreeper]

Dang! is it an endangered spotted russian sub? Will fishing in the gulf be shut down?

Red August?

[SWAMPSNIPER]

They are pairing with who they see as the likely winner if we don’t turn things around.

[CitizenM]

My thoughts exactly. They are hanging around with the hope to exercise their “flexibility” if Obama remains in the WH.

[Mormon Cricket]

Not surprising. Barry Soetoro Marshall Davis's Navy is busy being "open".

[DesertRhino]

TU-95 carries 30k in bombs, top speed of 575mph, and flies 9000 miles unrefueled. B-52 carries 70k in bombs, top speed 650 mph, and goes a little over 8700 unrefueled.
B-52 is better, but the TU-95 doesn’t rate any sort of booby prize.

The writer sounds not too bright.

How long before one is seen cruising up the Chesapeake Bay?

[hamboy]

It's hoax getting recycled.

Who says this sub was “undetected”?

[TruthShallSetYouFree]

Red August?

Hunt for Red Obama.

[ASA Vet]

I'd be much more concerned about the Soviet Nuc Sub prowling around in the Great Lakes.
