Default Re: Russian Bombers Didn't Carry Nuclear Weapons

I can't imagine Russian subs being anywhere and not being "hot", ready to fire if necessary. There was a news article approximately 2 months ago detailing how the U.S. Navy was patrolling waters off of South America for the first time in many years. The article expressed the displeasure of the Argentinian president. Since then we have seen events unfolding down there very counter to U.S. hegemony. I believe the actions of the U.S. Navy were a bellweather event to the South American countries, and not only the ones publicly critical of the U.S. prior to that.

Note the announcement recently by Argentina that they were abandoning the dollar to trade with South American partners.
