US Military Warning of Russian Nuke Subs Off Coasts
NewsMax ^ | 3/6/23

U.S. military commanders and experts are sounding warnings about the buildup of Russian submarines off American coasts.

The Russian buildup of naval assets is more expansive than just the Black Sea and the Mediterranean, and it includes seas surrounding the United States, sources told Newsweek.

"Nuclear-powered submarines have been deploying off the coast of the United States and into the Mediterranean and elsewhere along Europe periphery," Russia Maritime Studies Institute (RMSI) Director Michael Peterson told Newsweek, warning the deployments "mirror Soviet style submarine deployments in the Cold War."

Among the assets off the coasts are nuclear-capable submarines in the Severodvinsk class, which was also has been warned by U.S. Air Force Gen. Glen VanHerck, who runs the Northern Command and NORAD.

"They just moved subs, their first [Severodvinsk submarine] into the Pacific," VanHerck warned last October. "Another is out in the Mediterranean right now, and another that's out on its way into the Atlantic. That will be a persistent, proximate threat capable of carrying a significant number of land-attack cruise missiles that can threaten our homeland."

Technology requires a peaceable people. Liberals are not peaceable.

“Yuri...you lost another submarine?” Would be a shame if they started having accidents...

I worry about the cargo ships and pleasure boats that can obtain flags and manifests from almost any country in the world.

At night, from Chesapeake Bay, Iran or North Korea could launch an almost invisible drone carrying a tactical nuke and blow it up directly over the Pentagon or the White House.

No courts needed. Everyone in the game knows who did what.

I liken it to a retard who lives in a glass house sneaking at night into the yard of a neighbor who lives in a brick house, and throwing a rock through a big front window.

Then running off and denying it, but with footprints leading back to his own glass house.

My first thought was that there would be an ‘accident’ on the Alaska pipeline, but hitting telecommunication cables is a much easier. And even better, there’s no ‘environmental damage’ to scream about. Snip, and it just goes silent. And what are we going to do?

Their subs work as well as their tanks.

Further, the glass house guys lives in a neighborhood where other brick homes will join against them.

“Each one that goes to sea has an American or NATO sub on its tail, ready to blow it out of the water.”

If you think that then you cannot count.

Your anti-Russian propaganda stupidity is showing again.

I remember reading that in the Virginia Beach newspaper - in the 60’s. I believe we had two Yankee Claas subs, and one would relieve the other, which would then head for Havana.

Good grief! Stirring up panic. I was stationed at NAS Alameda in San Fran back in the late 60s and they were ALWAYS off the coast and we were ALWAYS tagging them.

Pretty out of date now. Came out in 1984.

I think just flooding the ICBM vertical missile tubes is an act of war unless it was a planned live fire exercise known by all.
