Undersea Cable Cut in Norway

With all the Russian deployments around Ukraine I believe they are serious.

And now we know why they wanted the French build Amphib carrier that we gave to the Egyptians….

What would it take for Turkey to close the straits from the Med to Black Sea? What if there was a unfortunate accident that blocked it?

I honestly believe Poopy Pants would be OK with a Russian invasion of the Southeastern US.

"C'mon man, as long as they don't cross the Mason-Dixon line..."

On topic though, the Norwegian sensor network is a real problem for D-E subs of the Baltic fleet. They like to pretend that the Baltic Sea is theirs, exclusively. They also like to remind Norway, Sweden, and Finland that they are still a threat.

They piss and moan about "security" and "space" while having nuclear capable short range ballistic missiles in KO.

Turkey can't block the straits, that would violate international maritime law. And likely bring them into a war.

I was just coming in to post this guy’s channel. Good stuff.

Turkey can't block the straits, but you know what they CAN do? Blockades to keep their cities safe. If Russia's Navy stays in the Black Sea, they are contained.

If we are depending upon Turkey to protect anything or anyone, we are already done. Putin would have seen this move and already made arrangements with Turkey.

Trumps number one agenda when elected was to get things sorted out with Russia, unfortunately as soon as he got elected the Dems screamed that Russia manipulated the election and Trump didn't anticipate that move or have a plan to deal with it so all "Russian negotiation" was stillborn.

Putin is slowly rebuilding his empire and honestly we probably don't want Brandon playing master class chess with Putin. This is why he's making his move. Look for shit to jump off during the Beijing Olympics, that is typically when Russia does land grabs.

Ironically when Russia moved on Georgia, the 2008 Olympics were ALSO in Beijing.

Then do you also distrust our subs sitting outside the straits and inside the Black Sea?

Keeping their navy as occupied as possible in the Black Sea keeps everyone safer. Hard to think our Navy, UK Navy, anyone's navy hasn't thought about that.

Curious, what empire is Putin rebuilding of his? He went in post-Yeltin at ostensibly their weakest time, and not a lot has changed in the way of territory (though their largesse is considerably bigger).

Also, USN had huge FONOPS in the south sea, and China flew largest formation ever incursion near Taiwan today. Don't know if they are working in cahoots, but they each know to others intentions and are at least tassel a working off of one another.

I trust our Navy, not sure I trust our administration to make the correct decisions regarding their deployment.

As for Putin, he has engaged in a few key land grabs. Crimea, Georgia and the like. I don't see him reacquiring all of Eastern Europe that was once part of the Soviet Union, but he isn't above simply taking things when he believes nobody can or will oppose him. Some things like the Crimean Peninsula were probably inevitable given it's strategic importance to the Russian Federation. But he's already made one significant play for the rest of Ukraine and I don't see him being deterred by anyone from trying again.
