Well, one thing about it – they couldn’t be in a better place – where most of the liberals are. Looks like they are shaking in their boots.  Why didn’t Schumer and Pelosi invite them in for a cup of tea or a beer?  They were just checking to see if all of the Christians were okay. They were in their backyard.

Russian Spy Ship Spotted Offshore From Connecticut. (Looks more like Cuba.)

Doesn’t look like he is traveling on his own since he has a tugboat with him.

Why are the liberals so afraid of the Russians?

Lawmakers (yellow bellies) sound alarm over Russian spy ship patrolling off U.S. East Coast

Members of Congress are sounding the alarm about a Russian spy ship sailing off the Connecticut coast. They believe the vessel, the Viktor Leonov, may be collecting information on Naval Submarine Base New London, the Navy’s main submarine facility on the East Coast, the home port of 15 nuclear subs.

The Russian vessel is somewhere in the Atlantic’s international waters. While officials say the boat doesn’t pose any real threat to residents nearby, it does appear to be part of a recent pattern of Russian provocations, reports CBS News correspondent Don Dahler.

At about 300 feet long, the Viktor Leonov was built for spying. The ship’s sophisticated surveillance equipment can intercept radar, radio and other electronic signals.

A member of the Armed Services Committee, Connecticut Sen. Richard Blumenthal said the ship’s proximity to the coast is concerning.

(Blumenthal is the guy who lied and said he fought in Vietnam.)

“It is collecting information, apparently, because it wants to spy on our military,” Blumenthal said.

(Sure – covert operations in the broad daylight – so smart.)

The vessel set sail from Cuba and was spotted Tuesday about 70 miles off Delaware. U.S. territorial waters extend just 12 miles from the mainland.

On Wednesday, the Viktor Leonov was said to be within 30 miles of Naval Submarine Base New London.
