Reports: Russia Spy Ship Operating Just Off U.S. Coast - Russian Jets Violating Ukraine Airspace

There are news reports of a Russian Spy Ship operating in International waters just off U.S. coast near the Gulf of Mexico.

Although some may find this type activity "routine", it is notable that Russia apparently has some specific interest in spying on a U.S. nuclear missile submarine base at Kings Bay, Ga. and other U.S. military facilities.

There are also reports that Russian Jets have, and continue to violate Ukrainian airspace at least 4 times in just 24 hours, and according to one source, these Russian Jet fly-overs are a provocation.

As this situation and crisis continues in Ukraine, such Russian military activity and provocation may be accelerating the situation towards a military confrontation.

Yep. Fine time to start a war....

I saw a headline this morning.....

Russian is either getting ready to start WW3, OR it is conducting the largest military exercise in human history!

We survived it once before, if only marginally.

Lt. Col. Tom Crosson, a Pentagon spokesman. "We respect the freedom of all nations, as reflected in international law, to operate military vessels beyond the territorial seas of other nations."

They're just keeping an eye on them like any other country would do.

The Cold War is certainly back.

But hey, those ebil farmers that aren't paying their grazing fees are sure getting theirs, huh?!

Goodness knows, while all types and flavors of felonies and real world.crimes happen, like Russian spy ships, guns to Mexico, and the Knock Out game continuing with impunity, we have law enforcement spending all of their money, time, and energy chasing those terrible cows. Lest they eat someone elses grass. Can't have THAT happen! No way!

You can emigrate from the U.S. at any time you want. Nobody is holding you here. If you really think the Russian Government is any better than the U.S., you are highly misinformed.

a reply to: rickynews

Russia has always had trouble tracking our boats, especially the Boomers (hell WE have trouble tracking our Boomers). They're almost certainly trying at least part of the time to catch a boat coming out, or heading home.

It IS routine, and been going on for many years.

and the Knock Out game

lol. "real world problems"

a reply to: Zaphod58

Maybe the Next time a " Boomer" heads for Home , the U.S. Navy Might have a Ramming Accident at the Same Time involving a Russian " Spy Ship " Tug and a Navy Garbage Barge Run Amok............

With all due respect Zaph, in these times with tensions high, these "cold war activities" are anything but routine. The risks have rarely been higher.

I know you like to minimize everything, and often you are right in doing so. There are things going on here that you are either oblivious to, or simply ignoring it.

Not since the peak of the Cuban missile crisis has the very real possibility of an escalation that could lead to a war been this high.

It's normal, nothing to see here, no worries, has been going on for years.... Right?

It's normal activity in abnormal and extremely dangerous times. If that fact escapes you, then perhaps you'll change your perspective soon enough...

With all due respect, we've been a hell of a lot closer to war than we are now. Ever watched Looking Glass on alert launch with valid launch orders? I have.

Both sides have given the order to launch, and had bombers flying before figuring out what happened. Russia only kept from launching because a missile commander gave it an extra minute before carrying out his orders to launch his missiles.

So don't tell me we're closer to war than we ever have been. This crap has gone on for fifty years, no matter how high the tension has been or what's going on, and we're still here.

I didn't. Maybe you should read again.

As for the rest. We'll see.

As misinformed as someone who thinks that I live in the U.S when I do not?

I can only imagine how the Founding Fathers of America would have responded to such a mind numbingly stupid argument.

Also for your future reference that is not true, Americans cannot emigrate from the U.S at any time they want. What a truly ignorant statement to make.

Thank you for destroying a sizable amount of my brain cells.

Never knew that a US Senator was that powerful and controlled the US State Dept and the President's foreign policy.

a reply to: ausername

However you want to put it this is the same thing that has happened for the last fifty years. Hell Russia has shot down allied aircraft flying near their airspace and nothing happened. The US has parked subs inside Russian harbors and tapped phone cables, and nothing happened.

The Cold War was far more dangerous than now with the way both sides pushed the envelope, and we're still here.

If McCain was that powerful he wouldn't have to do his warmongering in public.

It's a good thing he isn't that powerful, we would have already been involved in military actions on many fronts if he was.

a reply to: Zaphod58

None of that quite rises to the level of the military invasion of a sovereign eastern European country, one that the USA and NATO have been covertly involved in, and may have provoked the Russians to make these moves.

But hey, it's nothing, it only appears to be a problem. We can resolve all of this on twitter. It's all good.

I agree, no point in debating. Your logic is sound. Your assessment accurate. You are obviously "in the know" on all of this.

Stay tuned!
