US Officials: Russian attack submarine sailed in Gulf of Mexico undetected for weeks?

[donnay]

With the help of the U.S.S.R.... oops... I mean Russia, they could.

And I am sure with the help of USSA.

"The Akula was built for one reason and one reason only: To kill U.S. Navy ballistic missile submarines and their crews," said a second U.S. official.

So basically it is no threat to me. Good to know, don't see why i should have to fund defending against it.

 

[mczerone]

Or... we knew it was there the entire time, and are feigning naval incompetence to sell a false flag story down the line /shrug

Or at least to sell a few more billion/trillion dollars to the MIC.

Those U.S. submarines would be what keeps them from sending their nuclear missiles into the United States.

Why would they want to do that?

Ehhh... didn't the rocket fail to separate and the missile fall into the ocean?

Hopefully!

Have not heard,,was looking for news a bit ago..
Lots of hype about the (yet) upcoming test.(and bullshit about commercial applications)
nothing about result.
Was supposed to be the new First Strike super weapon. (if it works)

Terrorist jet skiers walking through airports, Soviet subs in the Gulf, what next? Protestors walking into a nuclear weapon fuel plant? Errrr, wait. I think that happened also.

The government keeps saying "security" but I don't think that word means what they think it means.

 

[Dr.3D]

Hopefully!

Opps... my bad... that was last year.

Last year in its most recent test, the X-51 fell for about four seconds before its booster rocket ignited, but the aircraft failed to separate from the rocket and plunged into the ocean.

They still get to pet the children,, to keep us safe.

Sounds like the author of the article watched "Hunt For Red October" before deciding what to write. Some of the lines in that article are straight out of that movie.

Cue Fred Thompson: "All we'll all be lucky to survive it!"

What is really sad is that people have been brainwashed into thinking it is okay. The videos on Youtube of them feeling up little kids makes me almost vomit in my mouth.

If the Soviets are going to launch a missile from the Gulf, hopefully they will wait until I get back from vacation there in September. The beaches at Gulf Shores are great.

 

[Dr.3D]

Why would they want to do that?

God only knows what goes on inside the minds of some crazy politicians.

Edit: The whole concept of Mutually Assured Destruction was developed by crazy people. When I was a kid, I would liken it to two people sitting in a helicopter, each holding a hand grenade. And both of them saying to each other, "If you drop yours in my lap, I'll drop mine in your lap."

Still a notable silence..

Well if something starts with the Russians will Obama stay in office as people won't want to change a horse in a river?

 

[Muwahid]

Likely deficient because of the strategic choice to pursue weapons for "modern warfare", where "modern warfare" means killing brown people with ak-47's ^children. Predator drones are highly effective at that... actual warfare... not so much.


Just another way the war on brown people has made us weaker

Those drones aren't winning the war against the Taliban, that's for damned sure.

 

[HOLLYWOOD]

COINTEL Disinformation campaign for more funding trash garbage whatever you want to call it.


A word of advice, there's no way in hell the DOD/Washington DC would release such sensative information on such weakness to the press or world. If it were true, this should and probably would of been released as a press junket years/decades after the weakness/gap was corrected AND this would most likely be classified compartmented TOP SECRET forever.

Lot's of Misinformation and Propaganda to keep the War Machine funding, Fear Campaign, and THE FED printing presses running @ 100% capacity.

More likely we start something with Iran and Russia jumps in. Those countries have a relationship.
