Well, well OP's post makes me wonder if there may also be more to the TWO reports of Russian nuclear powered submarines that have suffered extensive damage due to fire while in drydock undergoing repairs.

Were the fires that damaged TWO Russian nuclear subs in drydock actually the result of sabotage by covert U.S. forces?

Is there a war going on just under the public's radar between the U.S. and the Russians?

Given the recent incidences of a Russian sub patrollng the Gulf of Mexico undetected and Russian military planes breaching U.S. Alaskan airspace, one must ask what is the real truth?
