Trump Discloses Position of Nuclear Subs to Duerte

[rightwinger]

It defines the threat

Considering the best sonar equipment they have is 1970's/80's era Soviet Kludge, it doesn't do them a lot of good.

It comes in handy if you want to know how many nuclear warheads are pointed at you

For crying out loud....Conservatives whined for years about Hillary having unmarked classified emails on her server. Yet their Messiah openly brags to the Russians about the source of information and tells a despot in the Philippines where our subs are deployed

Was this in reference to SSN's or SSBN's?

And the point is there are subs "in the area", and we are probably talking SSN's, which are not currently, i believe, armed with Nuke tipped cruise missiles.

Regardless....the locations of our subs is classified information

If not, the Navy would post daily summaries of where each of our subs were cruising. The number of our subs deployed at any location is of no diplomatic interest to the President of the Philippines. Trump "bragging" once again shows poor judgement

Target "X" is somewhere in Nebraska, oh god, I just gave you their "location"

I swear you idiots reaching for anything is getting sad.

Again.....Classified is still classified
It is not up to an individual to decide whether it should be classified or not

 

[easyt65]

I used to work at a sub base many, many years ago. We were not allowed to reveal when any sub was scheduled to return to port or for how long. Yet, the local newspaper always seemed to print it

It's difficult to hide information because of 'indicators'.

'Dozens of Pizzas being ordered late at night at the Pentagon' is one that comes to mind from the past. Units returning home or going out can be detected by changes in trends, family actions / routines, etc....

 

[The VOR]

The entire free world knows we have subs in Korean waters....good fucking grief

Now that isn't very christian-like language, is it? Oh, that's right, you are one of those hypocrite christians who talks the talk, but doesn't walk the walk. Nevermind.

Do we have one or a dozen?

Now they know

And that does them how much good?

Gee, where was that argument when Hillary was going through her own server deciding which e-mails she could delete or not and / or when she was claiming some of the e-mails and material were NOT classified before she used BleachBit on her server?

Says another troll in lockstep with a snowflake....got any idea how big the Sea of Japan is, dipshit?

Translation~ you can throw stones, but has a hissy fit if Trump throws stones right back at you ..

This was an ego thing for him to brag to a dictator.

Bragging about what? What Trump told him wasn't of teenage girls' "I'll tell you a secret if you promise not to tell anyone else" grade. That ain't bragging. It's talkin' sh*t and "blowing smoke up someone's ass" and hoping they don't know what one is doing. [1] That's it; that's all it is.

• USS Michigan Visits Busan, Strengthens Partnership with ROK Navy
  
• Cheyenne visits Sasebo during Indo-Asia-Pacific Deployment

I know were I a head of state and the POTUS told me only information I could credibly obtain from the Internet, I wouldn't feel like he was bragging and I damn sure wouldn't be impressed.


OT:

WTH? What is it with people on this site. Why are so few people here interested in rigorously and routinely exercising discursive and intellectual integrity?
​

Note:

1. Trump loves for people to blow smoke up his ass and come out with a brown nose. He likes it; hell, he thrives on it. I guess that's why he thinks other folks are as "thirsty" as he, so he does the same for their fragile egos.

Um, according to most sources, the President can reveal what he wants to in most cases.

So actually whoever leaked that Trump said this stuff is the real person in trouble, and if anything bad happens, is the real person at fault.

 

[usmbguest5318]

The entire free world knows we have subs in Korean waters....good fucking grief

Do we have one or a dozen?

Now they know

The U.S. has, last I looked, ~70 subs. There are "seven seas," that gives us seven per sea. There are surely a bunch of them on our Atlantic and Pacific coasts so we can track the visits of other nations' subs. Then there're the ones we have that we send to visit other countries. There're the ones that are ostensibly attached to carrier groups and there are the ones that we have just doing "stuff" not previously noted where "stuff" needs doing.

I used to work at a sub base many, many years ago. We were not allowed to reveal when any sub was scheduled to return to port or for how long. Yet, the local newspaper always seemed to print it

Okay...I'll have to take your word for what happened where you worked and what the local paper there printed.

 

[OldLady]

Everybody knew the subs were patrolling in that area at that time, especially after one of the subs was seen docked at a South Korean port. This is just another desperate hit job with no teeth.

USS Michigan docked in South Korean port

The deployment of our subs is classified information

The President isn't bound by most rules of classification.

True, but having to use that excuse for blabbing twice in two weeks is not a good thing.

Actually the press is the side doing the blabbing, Trump is talking to other world leaders.

I get that, but .... well, if no one went running to the CIA this time, I guess it was fine. I think I remember hearing that the nuclear subs were off Korea, so it must not have been a big secret?

We have attack subs pretty much everywhere. Missile subs usually are closer to US waters, but since their Missiles can hit pretty much anything they need to even if they were tied up in port, their location is more about not being found, and less about being deployed to face a threat.

This moron is a menace ....

President Donald Trump in April told Philippine President Rodrigo Duterte that the United States has two nuclear submarines stationed in Korean waters, according to several reports.

“We have a lot of firepower over there. We have two submarines, the best in the world,” Trump bragged to Duterte, according to reports by the New York Times and the Intercept. “We have two nuclear submarines, not that we want to use them at all.”

Trump asked the Philippine president whether North Korean leader Kim Jong-un is “stable or not stable,” according to those reports and one by the Washington Post, all of which cited a transcript of the call produced by the Philippine government.

He called Kim a “madman with nuclear weapons,” according to the reports, but said that at least “all his rockets are crashing.”

“That’s the good news,” Trump said, according to the Washington Post.

Why did you have to remind us?

Exactly

The hysteria coming from Republicans over the trivial unmarked emails that were found among tens of thousands of email went on for years. These are emails that never saw the light of day

Now we have President Trump bragging about the locations of his subs and conservatives shrugging and saying....what's the big deal?
