    1. @Gintas Indreika Hell Biden could give him better advice on how to launder money. Just have them rent a house and charge them 50k a month for rent.

    2. @3V3R51NC3  Democrats use to defend Russia when they were the Soviet Union. Bernie even honeymooned there.

  1. These events happen all the time….when I was active duty US Navy, our CO used to do circles around the Russian ships, until the seas were so ruff inside the circle, they would have to move, then we would chase them for a while….this is a non issue, great for training.

    1. @Jake what are the cable looking lines between the 2 boats? Why do they say ship, when it looks like multiple ships considering they show several cable connected boats. Front and rear.

    2. @Some One CLOSE ENOUGH THAT THEY WERE TOLD TO 🦵 KICK 🪨 ROCKS AND GO BACK TO RUSSIA 😅🤣🤣😂

  2. I wonder how Russia would feel if the entire NATO alliance began surveillance around its borders?
    ..In fact, maybe we should start doing just that?

    1. American spy ships/planes are all over the world knocking on everyone’s door, so why should we be surprised to see other countries vessels near our door?

    2. NATO has never stopped doing this. The US has been waging a continuous proxy war against Russia for decades. I hope that one day Russia’s patience will run out and we will destroy the US with a nuclear strike.

  3. if its running in an unsafe manner with no lights or anything I say it would be very unfortunate if it got “accidently” run in to by another very cheap and worthless ship. 😛

  4. Ex-salior here. This is quite common. They are called ‘radar picket ships’. This one is larger then the usual to be able to navigate open ocean. when we would go out to exercise with other Pacific navies there would always be a Russian spy ship sit just outside the exercise area and monitor everything. Outside of many ports of US allies ports there is a picket ship about the size of a large tug boat anchored just on the edge of territorial waters. easy to spot, they had antennas all over them. No biggie, we just ignored them.

    1. @デヴィン

      Medvedev has said lot’s of stuff in his private capacity, just like Trump or Biden. Mostly to be a clown. You know decisions of national interest aren’t made on twitter or Telegram right? Also what he said was: 1. “I want to remind you — the deaf who hear only themselves: Russia has the right to use nuclear weapons if necessary,” Medvedev said, adding that the warning was “not a bluff.” – Telegram, March 2022 He’s right. According to Russia’s nuclear doctrine, Moscow can use the bomb when conventional weapons threaten “the very existence of the state” — a principle that could be applied to dangers faced by occupied territory incorporated via referendum.

      2. “Nuclear powers have not lost major conflicts on which their fate depends. And this should be obvious to anyone. ” – Telegram, Yesterday

      This was stated by the head of the European Council, Charles Michel, during a speech in the Verkhovna Rada on Thursday. You want to put an end to this aggressive war, and the EU shares this goal with you. Therefore, we support President Zelensky’s initiative regarding the 10-point peace plan” – Head of the European Council, Charles Michel, during a speech in the Verkhovna Rada – Also Yesterday Ukraine is dropping its “peace formula summit” that it wanted to hold at the United Nations to mark the yearlong anniversary, on Feb. 24 The formula includes references to nuclear security, food security, energy security, releasing all prisoners of war and deportees, fully restoring Ukraine’s territory, punishment for war crimes, protection for its physical environment and signing a peace treaty. I think Medvedev is a little upset at the fact Ukraine has official war objectives that include but are not limited to absurdities such as:

      1.Convicting and probably execution or life-long imprisonment of dozens if not hundreds or Russian military and politicians. Soigu, Surovikin, Pregoshin, Gerasimov, Putin, Lavrov, Peskov, Maria and let’s not forget Medvedev himself lol. 2. Force Russia to pay more than a trillion at this stage over 1000 years. – rofl 3. Relinquish Crimea – If you don’t know Crimea is full of majority Russians and pro-russian Ukrainians I don’t know, since before 2014. Whatever, they won’t let Crimea go before total war and total mobilization etc. Now let’s just imagine that the approval ratings are true. As one should if he weren’t brain dead. In a recent survey, Lev Gudkov’s Levada Center — currently the only independent opinion research organization in Russia — found that 53 percent of respondents subscribe to the view that Putin’s “special military operation” is progressing successfully. And in another survey last month, most respondents told Levada pollsters that “every real man should serve in the army.”

      “State propaganda is still managing to forge a broad consensus,” Gudkov lamented in an interview.

      Ukrainian lawmaker Mykola Kniazhytskyi agrees. “It is difficult to believe any Russian sociology, but it seems that the majority of Russians support the genocide against Ukrainians,” he told POLITICO.

      Putin’s approval rating ends 2022 at 81%, boosted by support for the war in Ukraine

      Putin’s approval before the SMO was 71%… So you see the problem yet? Russia can’t stop even if they wanted to according to the clown’s impeccable diplomatic prowess and his 10 point big brain peace plan.
      So nukes will fly probably if Russia “loses”, since Russia losing means Ukraine fulfilling points 1-3 and other stupid ultimatums which are clearly meant to ensure a war of total destruction for either side. And somehow the Ruble is 15% stronger VS USD now than before the invasion. What is this fake news! Don’t shoot the messenger man. Tell me if something isn’t true so I can check, maybe I am wrong

    2. Germany has to help Ukraine, because Germany needs to prove it doesn’t agree with the near identical behaviour of the Russian military to the way Nazi Germany behaved in WW2. For Germany to help Ukraine is to show Germany has truly changed!!! The world hasn’t fully forgiven you.
      When good people do nothing they may as will be complicit. Do your part Germany!!!

  5. Santos claims this was the very same Russian ship that he once captained under Putin while spying on the Canary Islands back in 2018.

    1. Nah we are owned by chicoms. Up until the recent conflict Russia had a GDP roughly of Italy. You retards cannot decide whether Russia controls the evil politicians that dont wave your dumb rainbow flags or they are utter corrupt clowns we can beat easily.

      All those supporting this conflict are goofy rainbow flag waving neocon bootlickers.

  6. Now tell us about how the US Navy sailed actual warships through the Straights of Taiwan. That would be like China sailing a battle cruiser in between Cuba and the Florida Keys. When the US does it, it’s “good”, though!

    1. no such thing as a battle cruiser. all cruisers are for battle. Russia Navy went to Cuba on a regular basis.

  7. There are always Russian spy ships off our coast. They usually monitor the ships comings and goings. They also monitor communications between ships and shore.

  8. We always had Russian trawlers near us during the Vietnam war. They would cross right in front of us even when we were operating our aircraft. I think it was the Kitty Hawk that almost ran one down because Kitty Hawk had the right of way and was engaged in air ops. The Russians would deliberately get in our way and make us back down.

    1. @David salo. DID JESUS REVEAL WHO THE ANTICHRIST IS OBAMA. Genesis in the book of Enoch. There’s also another antichrist his son in Israel, whose family killed Jesus Christ

    2. Germany has to help Ukraine, because Germany needs to prove it doesn’t agree with the near identical behaviour of the Russian military to the way Nazi Germany behaved in WW2. For Germany to help Ukraine is to show Germany has truly changed!!! The world hasn’t fully forgiven you.
      When good people do nothing they may as will be complicit. Do your part Germany!!!

  9. Back in 1973 (half-century ago!), our destroyer squadron was tailed by Russian naval vessels all the way up the west coast of Canada to Adak. Newsflash: The Cold War never really ended, folks.

  10. We only noticed it because of the thick, black smoke and flames lighting up the horizon. Yup, Russia is here.
    And as we can see it (2:09), being towed by another ship. Or does the Russian Navy practice a new, tethered sailing technique?

  11. “We regret to say our Russian “Fishing” vessel off the coast of Hawaii has sunk due to careless smoking by the crew”- Sergey Shoygu

  12. I’m pretty sure the same ship was just off the coast of Connecticut near New London sub baseyears ago. I’m almost certain you could see it from I 95 when going by that area. I remember truckers were looking up curse word in Russian and yelling it on the CB radio all day and night in that area. It was when Obama was in office during his second term. Around the time Bengazi happened.

  13. When I was commerial fishing off the Northern California, we frequently encountered Soviet fishing vessels 2 miles from our shores.
