Excuse me, but where can I find the nuclear wessels?

Russian subs spotted off of U.S. coast

RUSS-IA...I know you've been feeling all left out and stuff ever since we decided you weren't REALLY a threat anymore, just more of an older sister who makes life difficult for us, but we have ENOUGH countries who-hate-us-and-want-us-dead to worry about! I mean it, there's NO reason to be hanging 200 miles of the U.S. Eastern seaboard in a nuclear sub now, is there?

EDIT: OH SNAP.

"'If Russia feels as though they want to take some of these old aircraft out of mothballs and get them flying again, that's their decision,' a State Department spokesman said then."

What a cock slap, State Department.

Yea, WTF just about covers it. Like, seriously, the Atlantic side? I mean, I can totally see a Russia sub hanging around America near Alaska, but on the east coast? What is the, the Hunt for Red October? Eesh!

They were just going for a little field trip... AROUND THE FUCKING WORLD. I know that the Biden comments were completely uncalled for (another wtf moment) but jeez. Let's all be friends and not play hide and go battleship in the Atlantic.
