Ukraine crisis on the brink: Russia says it caught US submarine in its waters and 'drove it out' while blasting Western 'provocation' as Biden holds phone call with Putin and airlines stop flights to Kiev – hours after invasion warning
Daily Mail ^ | 2/12/22

The Russian military said today it caught a US submarine in its far-east waters and drove it out with 'appropriate means' after the vessel ignored a Russian request to leave, Interfax news agency has reported.

The encounter came as Russian President Vladimir Putin and US President Joe Biden held a high-stakes phone call, as a tense world watched and worried that a Russian invasion of Ukraine could begin as soon as Wednesday.

Biden warned his Kremlin counterpart that the United States 'will respond decisively and impose swift and severe costs on Russia' should it invade Ukraine.

My heart goes out to to the people of Ukraine. They did ask for this invasion by Russian scum. The Russians will rape and murder women and children as is their nature.

“It seems to me that the actual people of Ukraine, or the stability of the country and its government count for zero in Biden/Blinken’s scheming.”

Why should they, when they don’t give a crap about Americans.

And I guarantee that if things don’t go well for the US in Ukraine, the authors of this war will be the same turncoats as we had in Vietnam with those who cooked up the Gulf of Tonkin excuse - Robert McNamara, Cyrus Vance, LBJ’s aides - who later trashed the war they started on a phony excuse.

Sounds like Brandon is preparing a wag-the-dog preemptive attack on Russia.

If Trump were in charge, the Ruskies wouldn’t think of starting up a possible conflict with us. But they know Biden is a weak hapless fool as are the current SecDef and SOS so they don’t fear us at all.

Secret Service women don’t have to imagine it. They literally see it.

Wag the dog.

When everything is crashing down on a tyrannical government/leader like now, they go to their last resort - instigate a war.

Bill Clinton something similar albeit on much smaller scale when the Monica Lewinsky scandal hit the news. He bombed a baby formula factory in Iraq claiming it was WMD factory.

Fast forward to today, and one can only guess how bad things are for the Biden Administration for them to start a shooting war with Russia.

What must the internal polling numbers be like? And when combined with all the new evidence of a stolen election, fake pandemic, deadly vaccines, out of control inflation, empty store shelves, rampant crime in the inner cities, and who knows what else, a war is the only thing that can slowdown their eminent implosion.

US sub in Russian waters? Not to unusual, except when tensions are high and some nerves stretched tight. One wrong move & Dimjo has his war.

Virginia class attack subs patrol those waters on a continuous basis. They will continue to lock up the Russian fleet in the East.

I’m sure submarines and recon aircraft perform constant surveillance on the east coast of Russian, but I’d be surprised if they actually strayed into Russian territory.

War story: A friend of mine was in the Navy and trained to understand Russian and was stationed in the Aleutian Islands. One time he was instructed to listen for certain audio tones and to report if he heard it. He later found out it was that now familiar sequence of tones when you connect to a fax machine. He says he now remembers very little Russian.

Someone take Brandon to his basement and take away his phone.
