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."

Covid didn’t kill enough people, so this is the fallback plan by the globalists....

Like all are subs are in port....We’re building them like crazy. My grandson is an engineer at General Dynamics/Electric Boat in Groton Ct.

Nonsense. It's just that rotting meat attracts flies.

Not everything is a conspiracy.

Nor is nothing a conspiracy.

However I do think the sub thing is Russia trying to send a political message and not a deliberate attempt to stage for a nuclear depopulation by the globalists.

Even so, it is a very unnerving one and fraught with risk for elevation

My eternal thanks to anyone who can design, build and man a submarine. Being completely claustrophobic I just can’t imagine..

Yup. Russia is sending a message.

If they didn’t want us to know those subs were there...they wouldn’t. They surfaced one the other day!

We have a number of sub-hunters in the air off the East and Florida coast. Last week one was really focused on Delaware around DC, I would bet one of those subs was there.

Your internet, electricity, gas, and job probably lays on the bottom of the sea.

Who’s protecting it?

“The first and third aspects of today’s maritime century have direct relevance to undersea security. Maritime connectivity is both a function of, and a key driver behind, contemporary prosperity. It is a well-known fact that some 90% of global trade is carried by sea, yet it is a less well-known fact that some 99% of the world’s communications are delivered by 1.4 million kilometres of submarine cables. Of no less significance, a substantial part of gas and electricity resources is delivered through a series of undersea connectors.”

So are you warning of a payback for Nordstream?

Not everything is a conspiracy.

Said every liberal about Benghazhi, Clinton, Russian Collusion, Ukraine-gate, covid lab leak, covid vaccines, etc, etc, etc.

So far the "conspiracy theorists" are up 42-0 against you.

But you keep denying. The WEF might find a place for you in their new world order and you might get an extra portion of soylent green for your loyalty.

So what? There are probably always Russian nuclear subs off our coasts. And ours are patrolling theirs.

The biggest problem we face right now is a potential attack from China.

China knows it has a window of opportunity before the next election and with its puppet in the WH and a puppet infrastructure throughout the U.S., the time is ripe for an attack.

Just imagine if China advises all those American politicians, bureaucrats, and generals in its pocket that it would make them wealthier and more powerful than their wildest dreams if they participated in a "conversion" of the American system of government to a Chinese subsidiary one (not a dictatorship per se, more like a government run by our fine benevolent bureaucrats).

Sort of a Marxist-like state (a bone to the Left) run by a bureaucracy managed by those Chinese puppets currently in elected office, the military, and elsewhere. All China wants (nudge, nudge) is an opportunity to help out.

Oh, and China would also like an opportunity to let its 33 million lonely unmarried men (many of whom are soldiers) set up bases in the U.S. so they could court lovely American girls. They're very lonely you see.

We opened Pandora's box when we 1. Blew up the Nordstream pipelines 2. Denied it 3. Blamed it on "rogue non-state actors."

Already CCP China is beginning to take out Taiwan's undersea cables....denying it of course.

What will the world look like without undersea fiber optic cables? We are about to find out. They can't be protected. They are easily cut by anybody with submarines. You just lay an explosive cable across it and it's cut.

In shallower areas you won't even need a sub, just a small ship that feeds out the explosive cable across the fiber optic cable.

Thanks! Old submariner here, your fears, though unfortunate, are not unfounded. I have seen a sailor spend less than a week on one only to be carried off restrained in a stretcher for the panic of claustrophobia.

We had another try to open the hatch at test depth he freaked out so hard. There was no way he ever could have done it and no way it could even be done unknown, but still.... It was not taken lightly! He left under guard.

So one would have you believe that Russia is a third world country but third world countries do not have nuclear submarines, nuclear weapons, or hypersonic missiles. We are poking the atomic bear.

The joke will be on them when they discover that most American women today are empty-headed, tattooed and pierced, self-centered, abrasive anti-“patriarchy” crusaders, and the rest are dudes in drag.

Russian subs are loud death traps. Each one that goes to sea has an American or NATO sub on its tail, ready to blow it out of the water.
