-Russian nuclear powered attack submarines seen patrolling off the East Coast.

Yes, that's the east coast of the United States. About 200 miles off the coast. Just another problem for the Chosen One to deal with. But I'm sure he'll figure it out. After all, he wouldn't say who won the Cold War, so maybe he thinks it's not over?

A pair of nuclear-powered Russian attack submarines has been patrolling off the eastern seaboard of the United States in recent days, a rare mission that has raised concerns inside the Pentagon and intelligence agencies about a more assertive stance by the Russian military.

The episode has echoes of the cold war era, when the United States and the Soviet Union regularly parked submarines off each other’s coasts to steal military secrets, track the movements of their underwater fleets — and be poised for war.
