Sen Cornyn On Russian Subs In US Coastal Waters - Presses Navy For More Information

% of readers think this story is Fact. Add your two cents.


Carlos Munos / The Hill

A top Senate Republican wants to know how a Russian attack submarine was able to conduct a patrol mission miles off the U.S. coastline without the knowledge of the American military or intelligence officials.

In a letter to Chief of Naval Operations Adm. Jonathan Greenert on Friday, Sen. John Cornyn (Texas) demanded “a detailed explanation of the facts” surrounding the incident in which an Akula-class nuclear attack submarine was able to sail into the Gulf of Mexico undetected.

 

“The submarine patrol … seems to represent a more aggressive and destabilizing Russian military stance that could pose risks to our national security,” Cornyn said in the letter.

      I guess gays in the military is more important than national security.

      Maybe if some of our military assets were within our own borders we might notice when foreign assets stroll through our waters…

      This is nothing more than a spineless plea by establishment apologists for more military funding. We already spend more on our military than the rest of the world combined, the last thing we need is more military spending, especially when we are being forced to close down multiple school programs across the United States which affects our children. We have already robbed our children of any kind of future, as we squandered away both the economy and the Constitution. Right now, we are in the middle of squandering away their education and freedom. Shoot, I’d even venture to say that our prognosis may look a little better with Russian tanks on Pennsylvania Ave. I certainly don’t see how it could be worse. –Disabled Veteran

      I wonder WHO would take responsibility if that sub would nuked one or more Us cities? creepy, if Russia (with their old tech)can striding around your house, and you’re not even able to see that….

      Did you guys ever stop to consider that the military industrial complex allowed them to do it so they could use it to their advantage? A perfect excuse to steal more money from the tax payers.

      The u.s. is weak,depleated from all these unnessary wars fought lately,the russians are finished standing by and letting the u.s. do whatever it wants,time to pay for all the aggression over the past 20 years.

      What about The Commander-In-Chief? We hear HE is in charge of the military.

      I was in the Ocean Systems community for over 14yrs and we had our sensors to detect these Soviet submarines. I was familiar with everything on the Akula class fast attack submarine (and every other submarine). We would have nailed this guy when I was in the Navy. The SOSUS system is not there but new technology should have detected this submarine with the exploitable sources that it has to operate. Sonarmen are trained to exploit these sources and there is not much the engineers can do but shock mount equipment and quiet the machines down with new technology. They still have to operate and our sailors are the best there are in finding these guys.

      we tracked this guy from when he left port!! There is no way he made it to the Gulf of Mexico without one of ours shadowing him. NO WAY AT ALL. So any of you “COMRADS” can stick it where the sun don’t shine and you Chinese as well!!

      Hey anonymous, I’m a veteran too. You notice how someone will blab about hating war will in the same breath wish millions of innocent people slow painful deaths while hiding behind a keyboard? You notice the racism & evil spoken by a finger pointing being, so full of hate who speaks of happiness at the death of others? Sounds like an ungrateful war loving mouth piece for Satan! People reveal their soul when they speak. Some souls truly are evil. Read on…

      I never killed anybody. I do feel better today, thanks for asking. I just don’t want to be a part of this world & all the hatred & violence. By the way, I am native American. I joined the air force to get away from abuse. See, there is no escaping it tho. Its just one fire to another. There’s no safe place anymore. That’s why I said, in reference to your comment, that I wish I would just stroke out. I’m not afraid to die. Whatever is on the other side has got to be better than all this hell on earth. I make an effort not to spread more hatred even tho I hate what people do. I am not guilt for what Obama does. I am not the reason for your hatred. I do not wish people dead. I wish people would wake the f up and start spreading kindness & love & help each other.
