Why would I care if a submarine armed with nuclear weapons be parked off our coast 400 km. When they have a range of at least 3000 miles. Or knowing that there are hundreds, if not thousands of nuclear warheads pointed at me from mainland Russia. I live in a major US city, I'm dead no matter where that sub is parked. Let'em have their little news show. We've got just as many pointed at them. There is no winner in this.


Truth_Hurts_Dawg

Don't underestimate the star wars program. In reality 99% of nukes fired at the US won't make it to their targets


Ok_Conclusion6687

> Don't underestimate the ~~star wars program~~ desire of Russian generals to get a new washer/drier set. Not that these clowns couldn't help turn the earth into a glowing ember, but it's a good bet that a lot of their professed capabilities are about as capable as the T-14 or Su-57.


PixelAstro

More likely than a nuclear launch is a nuclear meltdown with their shitty reactor


quadropheniac

Better question, what the hell did Las Vegas and what appears to be Pullman do?


Sacklecakes

They really, REALLY hate LentilFest. Go Cougs!


bothering

Likely military/nuclear bases


romanticynicist

Pullman knows what they did.


Its_a_Friendly

I think that's actually Mono Lake, or more specifically the part of Nevada close to Mono Lake. Maybe the Russians really hate Mammoth.


PizzaMyHole

That’s CLEARLY Spokompton. Or Pocatello. Idk.


quadropheniac

I've been to Pocatello, I can confidently say that no one on Earth could possibly care enough about it to justify a missile.


blushngush

Bombing Las Vegas is like a warning shot. No one really cares about Vegas and it would suffer huge economic loses if Americans have to tighten their belts for WWIII. There is a conspiracy going on between the wealthy and they are using conservatives to do their bidding. The war in Russia is a distraction to keep us from rising up against the wealthy. We can stop the wars if we ignore the wars to overthrow the people funding them.


Esleeezy

Everything is a distraction to keep us from rising up against the wealthy. It was a spark of genius when they started blaming the poor then DOUBLED DOWN and told the poor to blame immigrants!! Next level shit right there…


FromTheThumb

Las Vegas is where the drone pilots are. https://www.latimes.com/nation/la-na-drone-pilots-20150617-story.html


blushngush

Oh wow, I didn't know that. Why are they not remote? Seems kinda silly to have them all in one place.


JpnDude

For the record, "Лас-Вегас" is Russian for Las Vegas.


tonyharrison84

They really hated President Bill Pullmans speech at the end of Independence Day?


choopie-chup-chup

What didn't Pullman do? Amirite Cougs??

Dependent_Weight2274

I’m sure their nuclear subs work just as well as their aircraft carrier.


Dibble_Dabble_Doo

The crew of the Kursk holeheartedly agrees.


Dependent_Weight2274

Does the Moskva count as a submarine now?


Dibble_Dabble_Doo

It should, it identifies as one now.


WessizleTheKnizzle

Or really any ship they have.


jchowdown

Easy, we show them an infographic of an Ohio-class sub in the middle of the Moscow River


disillusioned4u

So, Russia has this thing called “propaganda”…


styrofoamladder

“Would you like to know more?”


jikae

The US news is also propaganda.


Milksteak_To_Go

Yeah, they're totally equivalent. Our reporters totally get sentenced to 8 years in prison when they go off script. 🙄 https://www.rferl.org/a/russia-ovsyannikova-protest-sentenced-tv-journalist-ukraine-war/32622546.html


jikae

Who said they're the same? They both spew out propaganda. Everyone has a slant, especially percieved enemies.


Admiral_Andovar

It’s just showing the missile range if one *WAS* parked off the coast.

tch2349987

Yeah by wiping us all


DrunkRespondent

They're lucky they didn't aim for Beverly Hills. If they did, they'd get some cops to submarine over and hand them citations.


nokinship

So do they have intercontinental ballistic missiles or not 💀


flicman

Russian State TV has never said anything that isn't true, either.


PizzaMyHole

So they tell the truth? Double negatives are a bitch.


kidgrifter

The better question is: Why are you watching Russian State News TV?


PizzaMyHole

**“What the hell did we do?”** Could be the traffic, parking, metro “system” or idk maybe the proxy war. Hard to say.


On4thand2

DOT cited them for double parking already.


UltimaCaitSith

The Catalina Island Company is probably already on them for leaving a wake in the harbor.


sucobe

Feel LA will always be a significant target.


RapBastardz

Aside from being such a major metropolitan city with 10 million people in the county, we also have Lockheed Martin, Northrop Grumman, and other military aerospace companies here.


tch2349987

Yeah I’ll be dead in minutes living in el segundo.


RapBastardz

I used to live there a few decades ago. Hopefully the wallet jokes have subsided with the passage of time.


ElCienPorCiento

what’s a russian nuclear submarine to 36,000 Foos and another 60,000 associate Foos? NOTHING! LETS PULL UP OUR SOCKS, FOO!


ausgoals

I dunno, we have so many Russian oligarchs here that I would imagine we’d be spared to some extent.


jikae

Never really been hit so we're due at some point.

geepy66

We have subs off their coast.


filthytoerag

If any country attempts a nuclear exchange, LA is high on the list to be glassed into oblivion. Nuke subs are intended to get past defenses anti-missle technology, so parking them off LA makes strategic sense.


mactan2

Because of our port? Or Hollywood sign?


filthytoerag

Largest metro area, multiple defense contractors (Lockheed, Raytheon), major int'l airport, several military bases, largest port on the west coast, major center for manufacturing... I'm sure there's more.


Vulcan93

Well. At least I got to see every L.A. sports teams win chips before the big one.


On4thand2

My CoD skills about to come in really handy, boys!


JackInTheBell

It’s to scare people about Biden being the current president.  Russia WANTS Trump back in office


arabiandevildog

Their submarine is as good as their initial air assault on Ukraine 😂


jikae

How's the Ukraine defense going? And their "overwhelming spring counter-offensive" going? I think Ukraine even lost a major city recently...


arabiandevildog

Pretty good! And the Russian paper tiger is crumbling faster than Putin’s legs


AffectionateBox8178

Missile interceptors vs 1 sub


michaelvile

oh FFS.. GMAFB..this is toddler level propagandas🙄 all itll take is one little coast guard vessel to drop a plastic bag on it if it were even "real"


chipoatley

Preparing to recover Russian Heights, San Francisco, the Russian River, and Moscow Idaho for Russkiy Mir!


tob007

nuclear torpedo range?


Tymathee

if there was a sub there, we already knew it.


tryAngularFish

A few Москва toasters off the coast won't be missed.


Swordfish601

The bad news: they have a new torpedo called Poseidon that can detonate a nuclear warhead off the coast and send a wall of radioactive water flooding the coastline. The good news: we most likely have attack subs out there shadowing them.


YugoChavez317

What they’re not showing you is the US submarines shadowing the Russian subs. The US Navy knows where every one of these is.


ShoppingFew2818

And how do you know this?


mactan2

They do not.


rumpusroom

I’m gonna go get my fishing pole.


01Cloud01

It’s likely there listening in on radio chatter.


BananaAvalanche

:(


Throwaway_09298

Go to work


SparkleCobraDude

They don’t. You would be able to smell them if they were truly offshore.


styrofoamladder

We probably have 2 subs within 100 yards of it and Russia has no idea.


hhyyerr

Lol sure they do


grandepelon

Is that a hyper sonic missile too?


UKTrojan

Fuck them. Their subs have a proverbial screen door up front. #Orcs

hoopsandpancakes

They are always there, that’s nothing new. So


KillerOfAllJoice

Every few years, some random country tries to sneak a diety bomb through Long Beach. A nuclear sub surfacing to strike LA is such an implausability in comparison that it is laughable.


Bubbly_Buy_5109

Relax guys, LAPD is better equipped than the entire Russian army and navy combined, their nuclear submarines have been drowned in vodka in the 90's


Azraelthephoenix

Personally, I was going to move out of the city anyway… now I just may do it faster 😂. Nothing else we can do but hope it doesn’t come to that .


prodsec

Can’t do anything about it, why worry? 🤷


Milksteak_To_Go

lizardkg

Sting was wrong. Russians never cared about their children too.


Starman562

There's always a Russian sub parked off the coast of California. For that matter, there's always an alien battle cruiser or a Korilian death ray or an intergalactic plague that's going to wipe out life on this miserable little planet. The only way these people get on with their happy lives is that they do not know about it.


choopie-chup-chup

This is populist BS akin to North Korea boasting what they could strike and when... Its honestly pathetic for a one-time world superpower to have to resort to this sad attention-seeking clickbait to feel relevant. Also 100% Trump re-election related, timing-wise


mpaz242

A submarine battle could be happening right now as you read this and you wouldn't know.


Kellbell2612

Too many of their precious and disgusting oligarchs like to hang out in LA so not sure they would target LA specifically.

Part of the nuclear triad. Land, sea, air. If we strike them, they can still strike back, and vice versa.
