Politics

[Rocked and Loaded]

So more culture war then politics (which of course are related if not the same) but I’m glad the weirdness that seemed to coincide with the last administration has abated for a while.

Trump is sending 2 nuclear subs close to Russia in response to the drivel coming from Medvedev..

^^^ more likely is Trump told 2 of the U.S.Submarines that were already patrolling off Russia to make themselves visible.

Posturing.

Posturing.

Just stating what Trump is saying..

Trump probably doesn’t even know he already has Subs sitting within sight of the Russian shoreline.

Just like the Russkies have a couple of subs off of each coast of the USA.

It's just posturing and gamesmanship. I doubt Putin is shaking in his shoes over it.

That's what Joint chiefs of staff are for.

The difference is that a Los Angeles or Virginia class attack boat is keeping close company of any Russian boomer deployed in its launch area. Our submarine technology remains far superior to the Russians.

Our Ohio class remains essentially undetectable. We will not expose an Ohio under any conditions. They are in rotating deployment in their engagement areas, which because of the range of the Trident II D5 SLBM, is not anywhere near the coasts of the Russian Republic or China.

I assume he could order the deployment of cruise missile equipped attack boats near the Russian coasts, or as @Altitude sickness suggests, make them aware of boats already operating there.

Yes, I was speaking of showing an Attack sub

True. The Trident 2 has significant range, depending on configuration. The one main advantage of being offshore, is response, and time to target.

The US Navy is putting its submarines on rare public display in a message to Russia's growing undersea force

Amid worries about Russia's growing submarine force, the US Navy has made its submarine deployments to the North Atlantic increasingly visible.

Its been a recent strategy to make them more visible

Don't kill the messenger?

Is Axios a messenger? By at least one major survey, it’s left of CNN. I don’t shoot messengers I pay no attention to. Waste of ammunition
