Urgent consultations in Washington, Moscow on reported US-Russian submarines in firefight

 

First reports reaching DEBKAfile’s military sources say that a US submarine intercepted a Russian nuclear sub in American waters opposite Alaska. The Russian sub escorting the nuclear submarine responded with a Balkan 2000 torpedo and scuttled the US vessel.

 

Urgent consultations in both the White House and the Kremlin were taking place on Tuesday night. US Vice President Mike Pence called off an appearance in  New Hampshire after being recalled to Washington for a conference called by President Donald Trump without explanation.

Iran warns Europe it 'will take next step' to enrich uranium to weapons-grade level if new deal isn't reached

 

Iran’s president Hassan Rouhani warned European nations Wednesday that Tehran will "take the next step" in increasing its uranium enrichment closer to weapons-grade levels this coming Sunday if they do not offer a new deal by then, adding that they will increase it to "any amount that we want"

This is great. So Iran is breaking away from the treaty, because Trump did first, and Trump is crying about it. And now the Chinese will buy Iranian oil in defiances of Trump. Damn, Obama sure got all those nations working together to reduce nuclear tensions. In steps the blow hard, carnival barker and we get higher nuclear tensions, a lack of respect for the USA and have lost---temporarily--our moral leadership. Now Trump is giving in to China:

So he is saying it was better for them to stay in Obamas deal. Hard to read that any other way....

Incorrect. He's saying that they had not been honoring the deal while Obama was President.

SUEZ CANAL (June 23, 2019) The Wasp-class amphibious assault ship USS Kearsarge (LHD 3) transits the Suez Canal. Kearsarge is the flagship for the Kearsarge Amphibious Ready Group and, with the embarked 22nd Marine Expeditionary Unit, is deployed to the U.S. 5th Fleet area of operations in support of naval operations to ensure maritime stability and security in the Central Region, connecting the Mediterranean and the Pacific through the Western Indian Ocean and three strategic choke points.

The ship is heading toward the Indian Ocean and perhaps the Persian Gulf.

Iran: We’ll Hike Uranium Enrichment by However Much We Want

President Rouhani vows to boost Tehran’s enrichment to whatever levels it needs beyond the cap from the 2015 nuclear deal.

 

 

Iran has learned the lesson of Kim and NK. They know Trump hates negative headlines so they are doing all they can to make bad news for him. He has already tried buttering up to the mullahs, but they told him to f off.

There's no such thing as a "Balkan 2000" torpedo. 

 

That story is absolutely ridiculous.

There is one floating around about John Kerry recently getting arrested that I am sure you would enjoy. One of the burning questions, post-arrest, is the concern that it was actually one of his clones and not Kerry himself.

That one, along with Tucker Carlson being the new VP for 2020 were my two favorite (nutty) stories/slides yesterday. :lol:

It's news/information relevant to the geopolitical situation. Nothing wrong with posting such information without comment just to put it into the ether (as someone who does that often). We're dealing with open source information and trying to cobble together the best we can the truth from a variety of sources and outlets which often are filled with disinformation, half truths, or outright lies.

I am still holding out hope that Kimberly Guilfoyle will be his press secretary one day.

I preferred this member of "The Five":

 

See the source image

 

Not nasty enough.  Kimberly is much nastier and Trumpinan  She is so Trumpian she dates Trumps.  It  would a great classic Trump troll move.

 

Could you imagine her getting into an exchange with Jim Acosta?  

 

It would drive them nuts.  That would be fun.

And the number 346?  3+4+6=13, and the thirteenth sign of the Zodiac is Ophiuchus, which as a constellation was first identified by...the Persians.  WAKE UP SHEEPLE!!!!!

Another story on the Russian sub fire

 

 

 

No *****.  We have them to.  Small seabed-crawling unarmed submersibles with grapples.  

 

And note that that picture is not of that sub.  That's a Delta IV SSBN.
