(Reuters) - Russia plans to resume nuclear submarine patrols in the southern seas after a hiatus of more than 20 years following the break-up of the Soviet Union, Itar-Tass news agency reported on Saturday, in another example of efforts to revive Moscow's military.
The plan to send Borei-class submarines, designed to carry 16 long-range nuclear missiles, to the southern hemisphere follows President Vladimir Putin's decision in March to deploy a naval unit in the Mediterranean Sea on a permanent basis starting this year.
"The revival of nuclear submarine patrols will allow us to fulfill the tasks of strategic deterrence not only across the North Pole but also the South Pole," state-run Itar-Tass cited an unnamed official in the military General Staff as saying.
OH NO!... Is this another one of those outrage-of-the-day stories like Bear Bombers Over Guam
, which turned out to be another conservative exaggeration? (read: lie...Is this another example of proving the veracity of the study of the other topic?)
Russian ships....in international waters? Oh, the outrage...

Fred, this is from the link.
"The official said the patrols would be phased in over several years. The Yuri Dolgoruky, the first of eight Borei-class submarines that Russia hopes to launch by 2020, entered service this year."

You know... you're making an outrage yourself over something I never made an outrage over. But you are so outraged that you can't tell real or phony outrage from a hole in the ground. I don't think my question had any outrage in it...
"Cold War reboot or nothing to be concerned about?"
It's outrageous that you saw any outrage in that statement or even assumed that I was feigning outrage. Now... here's a liberal-making-up-stupid-make-believe-comments-about-non-existence-outrage quiz... How many times does the word "outrage" appear in this post?
(That should keep her busy for a few hours... next patient please)

"Hopes to launch" are the key words. Putin likes to keep up the illusion Russia is strong but they like the US can no longer afford the huge Cold War militaries.

Fred, I believe the key words are: "entered service this year."
After the first of a new class of ship is commissioned it is down hill.
GOP as you know for some people anything that contradicts their would view is ether outrageous or a partisan lie. Some echo chambers are smaller than others.

Isn't that amazing...It doesn't change the stupidity, and exaggeration of the original post... Republicans just can't help themselves...If it's not an outright lie, it's rattling the "Russians are coming" fearmongering...
