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

Posted on 03/09/2023 2:59:49 AM PST by EBH

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."

No, it's 2023, and the Russian Navy is NOT the Soviet Navy:

And there are no more Typhoons...

Russia Decommissions World’s Largest Submarine

Thank you. I was about to make the very same point but you made it a lot better than I would have

That's my fear. But not the Russians...the Chinese.

China could easily infect a couple of major cities and our government and military would be paralyzed.

In fact, China could say, "It's not us. It must be North Korea or the Russians." "Perhaps the balloon is a UFO from Alpha Centauri"...

And while our government stumbles about, they could execute Step 2 of their attack.

We didn’t blow up the N2. Provide your evidence.

The world would be a better place if BOTH Washington DC AND Moscow were obliterated under a mushroom cloud.

The problem of course is that it would not stop there. All the other major cities throughout the US and Europe would also feel the heat from nuclear radiation.

We know that Satan and the globohomo’s would not be satiated with killing only millions. No they want to kill billions. That is the goal.

Did you ever read “Blind Man’s Bluff”? Great book about submarine warfare including interception of marine optical cable comms.

But these bizarrely tattoed and pierced young women will shape up when they are told that their little games are over. They can start to behave...or find their pierced butts in a gulag.

So at least there’s a silver lining to a ChiCom invasion.

It doesn’t really matter if we did or didn’t.

What matters is what Russia thinks we did.

There a little busy in Ukraine. Nobody really cares what Putin thinks.

His idle threats come from severe weakness.

It’s on my shelf in sight! Yes, read it. And that was in the “olden days.”

Plus, that was far more tricky, intercepting cable comms.

Cutting the cables with cross-laid explosive linear charges fed out of a sub will be 1,000X easier.

WEF has stated numerous times the US will no longer be a superpower by 2030.

such a claim is obviously the result of planned intention

LOL! I love how your map shows china and Iran as merely "competitors" rather than "hostile states".

"Competing" at what?

I doubt any amount that of evidence would change your mind. In a rush now, so will just leave you this (last two links on this post):

I doubt you will take the time to read or listen to them, but there they are for you.

It’s not “my map,” it’s the map from the CDR Salamander (Navy blogger) article.

Sorry to tell you this, but the rest of the world does not automatically use the jargon of American neocons.

I worked in optical comms for a while at Nortel Networks. The thought of intercepting undersea data was mind boggling when I read it.

I’m sure things have progressed way beyond what was revealed in the book.

Hell yes. Takes a brave man to climb into a rust bucket like that, knowing its function is to submerge in the deep blue seas.
