Russian protesters

In an intercepted phone call, (click here) the wife of a Russian invader tells how the soldiers of one of the Russian military units jumped out of the trucks on their way to Ukraine warzones.

According to this report, anti-war Russian protesters were rounded up and placed in military trucks. They were then transported to the Ukraine border. They jumped out of the trucks.

If they successfully reached the Ukraine border they would have been abandoned in a war zone. Putin is also endangering the lives of his own citizens.

I am curious if the Russian protesters had any Ukraine roots.

I think the American submarine program needs to put emphasis on moving the Columbia Class forward. It also needs an infusion of cash to complete some construction on the Virginia class subs. But, the Columbia subs need to move forward now. Additionally, our submarine fleet needs some updates and they should be rotated through to complete it. As long as the current subs are in good enough condition they should stay in service as the new ones roll out.
