This will not please the Zeepers posting out of DC.

DC was susposed to be far enough from the front.

Oh good. A chance to refresh our ELINT and update the propeller acoustics from that sub!

Dr. Jill thinks a war with Russia will keep her in the White House, so naturally Joe will keep escalating until it happens.

Putin could get away with nukes in Cuba with Biden and his handlers in power.

I know! Let’s throw up a blockade around Cuba. It worked once before.

The Russian Navy has run ships and subs through the Caribbean for the past 60 years or so…probably longer.

You guys seem to think this scares the US.

The only thing I am sure of is that it’s taking the Russian Navy less time to get to Havana than it’s taken the Russian Army to reach Kiev. And its a lot safer than leaving from the Black Sea.

Did Bidet forget to tell Putin, “’Don’t”.

Lot of sabre rattling between now and the election.

So what? We deploy our fleets all over the world at will. Its international waters. Do not fall for this WWIII hype. 😏

Is the US Navy’s presence in waters close to Russia considered a ‘challenge to or defiance of the Russian government? Our navy can go where it wants in international waters, so the Russian navy can go where it wants.

That assumes the Russian ships are even seaworthy enough to make it across the Atlantic. Given the general Slavic distaste for preventive maintenance, I wouldn't be shocked if they get stranded halfway there.

From what I can see online, they’ve sent four ships:

Admiral Gorshkov missile frigate
“Kazan” attack submarine
“Pashin” - an oil tanker
“Nikolai Chiker” a salvage tug

That’s kinda mildly hilarious, to be honest. Two warships, a fueler, and a tugboat.

I’d rather see them popup off the coast of Delaware some weekend. That would get the neocon’s blood flowing.

Are you aware that carriers don’t sail alone? Additionally, we probably have at least one submarine and other assets watching the Russians very closely.

The US Navy is highly capable and able to manage this threat.

I’m sure the Russians will change their plans once Joe Biden tells them: “Don’t.”

Good chance to test out our stealth underwater drones to see if they can tag a Rooskie sub without being noticed.
If they do get caught, so what, and if they don’t, we could get some good intel.

I’ll believe when I see it that these Russian vessels reach Havana.
