I think Obama is playing Wag the Dog here to divert attention to his own disasters...

So...Obama controls the Russian navy and the Swedish military now? Have you check the size of your tinfoil hat recently? I think it may have shrunk.

I am surprised the US rescue submersibles are not already deployed to Sweden. Obola needs the positive publicity.

I would have thought the answer to that would be obvious; no submarine has been found as yet and even if one is Sweden would have to request assistance.

They are NATO compatible, but I’ve don’t know if the US DSRV are Russian-hatch compatible.

They can be adapted quickly to any submarine hatch.

I did not say he controlled either of those two entities...but to use the incident to divert attention away from his continued failures...then again...the opening line should have been an indicator that the whole post was a joke..just like his administration...

It is amazing how rude people are....I’m sure if we had met in person your comments would not have been so forth coming...

Have a great day

Let me point out that the only source for this has been the Swedish media so I'm not sure just how Obama is using this incident to divert attention from anything. Unless, of course, you think the Swedish electorate has a vested interest in how Obama is doing.

Fortunately, or unfortunately, the odds of us ever meeting is nil. But if we had I imagine you would have been spouting the same nonsense and I would have asked the same questions.

I know that was a rather time worn joke. However in the early years of Soviet Nuclear submarine operations, serious problems occurred aboard Soviet Nuclear powered submarines.
In total 11 different subs were involved with incidence’s of loss of reactor control or loss of primary coolant. In addition 14 different subs had incidents of reactor casualties which resulted in release of radiation into the boat. There are many stories of brave Soviet sailors risking and in some cases sacrificing their lives to save their crew mates at sea to overcome accidents caused by poor designs or shoddy construction. Some times there is a kernel of truth in jokes.

Coming from a socialist apologist, I find that comment empowering.

That yelp came from one of the dogs that seek the destruction of America.

Uhm...seems like other are reporting it - which makes my point that the US News (notoriously in the bucket for Obama) are not reporting on this story...& despite this...

Again, see if you can follow, I made a reference joke to Jack Ryan and the Hunt for Red October - then followed it up with another movie reference “Wag the Dog” in a ploy to make fun of the current president (or lack there of) -

I think everyone else got it - except you and your rude little comment. So, instead of taking something seriously as in my two jokingly comments referenced in movies - lighten up Kansas City and get over it.

~I know that was a rather time worn joke. However in the early years of Soviet Nuclear submarine operations, serious problems occurred aboard Soviet Nuclear powered submarines.~

Well between late 1950s and mid 1980s Russian Navy commissioned an average one nuclear submarine every few weeks. In made enormously huge fleet which is statistically more prone to isolated incidents.
Not to mention that the United States were first in this technology which was a challenge for an emerging MAD doctrine, so communists urged shipyards to bring compatible ships in a matter of months since they have realized the threat.
It is not surprising that the first subs were more a death traps than effective warships. They were neither engineered nor tested, but basically a WWII U-boats with reactors installed.

Go learn something about the world, maybe then you will understand what I meant in #89. Moron.

I fully understood the depth of your lack of understanding in post 89.

That common misunderstanding is the proximate cause of America’s fall.

This is from October, I guess Red October, but I’d only seen the later ones, this is actually pretty interesting.
