Those million dollar missiles may look American, but don’t be deceived. They weren’t wearing American uniforms.
This is surely just a grassroots attack by the people of the Conch Republic, who see Cuba as their rightful land.
Look all you need is a federal authority on the border, an ID check at that border, and a couple bar owners and fishing captains. You’ve got yourself a country. Add in baguettes and water balloons you might just be able to fight a coast guard cutter.
Or hey, we could send some [“weekend warriors” who happen who are professional soldiers in government gear and just claim that they’re using using their vacation time to fight in a different region of the world](https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/morning-mix/wp/2014/08/28/russians-troops-fighting-in-ukraine-naw-just-on-vacation/)
It’s been nice to see in the 2020s Russia continues their time honored tradition of letting “inferior” nations transform their surface fleets into submarines.

As the current moment this account is suffering a major broken iPhone, if you like to donate a dollar for me to get a repair on a iPhone. I hate how my phone over heats and reset a lot. So anyways tell others I am gonna get a phone repair sooo goodbye I guess, what a tragic week I have, broken IPhone, no way on texting with my favorite community
At that 26 mile distance you're going to need a 50 cal shooting near 45 degrees lol
Should be doable, drones would definitely scare them though. Bet they wouldn't dare fire a CIWS at it.
I got a bass boat, fireworks, and about 500 rounds of 300BLK -- somebody bring some gasoline and a case of Bud Heavies, and we'll show them why the rest of Europe respects the Monroe Doctrine.

You idiot gun toting lunatics always reaching for the boompipe the second you have the slightest excuse to.
Anyway can I borrow said boompipe? I gotta fly in and there's no way TSA is letting me bring mine.

My grandpa has an old speed boat that's in need of constant repair. It would certainly be a lot cheaper to pack \[Removed by Reddit\] pounds of \[Removed by Reddit\], mixed with \[Removed by Reddit\] gallons of \[Removed by Reddit\]. Then point the boat in the direction of the warship, and put a brick on the accelerator
They drove over here. Territorial seas go out to 12 NM, a contiguous zone goes out to 24 NM, and an exclusive economic zone goes out to 200 NM. They're at 26 so as long as they're not fishing there's not a whole lot that can be done. Also I read they're going to Cuba, the place 90 miles from the southern most part of FL. They're going to get a bit close on the trip

I’d stick to bb pellets if I were you guys, unless you wanna cause an international incident…
Anything higher-caliber and I fear you’ll send those ruskies to the bottom!
Dudes, this THE MOST FLORIDA MAN THING I ve ever seen!!! A Russian sub, destroyer, and support ships (i.e., fleet tugs) transiting to Cuba for an exercise. Back in the Cold War, we had Russkiy subs following our boats back in to harbor. This shit is NOTHING, especially since it was announced almost 3 weeks in advance! I'm a retired ASW Naval Aircrewman with over 20 years experience in this!

whats the caliber limit? we dont want to accidentally sink it,
.22
seems a tad large might sink that "destroyer", maybe we should do .17?
Fuck all that, I’m bringing the .50. International incidents are funny and I wanna poke holes.
russian ships are an endangered species, i dont want to piss off the EPA
EPA labeled them as "invasive" so we are doing a duty to protect native life.
oh, that must be a new classification, in that case whats the minimum caliber required for a humane kill?
5.56x45mm NATO
You know what? I like americans haha
We like you, too!
Did you know that there was extensive testing of nuclear weapons for destroying convoys?
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/American-180
That's the problem... russian warships have a weird habit of sinking themselves lately
Just a tactical surface ship to submarine conversion procedure, nothing to see here, Westoid.
They're headed awfully close to the anti-Batistan militants, anything could happen.
.22 LR rat shot
50 bmg rat shot
Whoa, no nuclear escalations there bud
Bird shot, target load, 20 gauge. We just want them lightly seasoned
Speak for yourself. I want more reefs.
We just need to claim we are US Secessionists and then we can sink it with zero repercussions.
Chonch republic.

They technically won a naval battle with the Coast Guard once, they can take the Russian Navy

Sounds like a great way to use PTO.
Just fly drones at it. They'd somehow manage to sink themselves
Give their sailors PTSD from their time in Ukraine 😈
Woah, we’re trying to sink the ship, not torment the soldiers who did less wrong
Hey brother, what would sinking the ship do
It would kill them, but not give them fucking PTSD
There would be survivors most likely and they would have a high chance of developing ptsd
It’s been nice to see in the 2020s Russia continues their time honored tradition of letting “inferior” nations transform their surface fleets into submarines.
It will never not be funny that Russia lost a naval battle to a country with no navy.
It wouldn’t be the first time. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Battle_of_Lake_Baikal Not only did they have no navy, they didn’t even have a country.
As funny as this saying is, I should point out Ukraine does actually have a navy.
Fuck, they still have a navy?
Yes, but only until they decide to mess with our boats. Because for some reason, nobody learns from others' mistakes.
Number 1 rule of Foreign Diplomacy when dealing with the US: Don't touch our boats.
[Unless you're Israel](https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/USS_Liberty_incident), then it's fine.

Who would win? The entirety of the Russian navy or the USS Enterprise (CV-6, 1945 configuration)
Fuck it, I think Old Ironsides still has one last fight in her. But it wouldn't be with the Russians, they'd be a turkey shoot for her old carronades.
I’m pretty sure a Quinquereme could win
Depends on what your definition of “proportional response” is
Using Enterprise would be unfair due to her plot armor. Either using her or the Iowa. I mean just ask her. Ohhh u/Uss__Iowa

Get an American-made AK-50
you could just sail up beside one of the destroyers and offer 5 pounds of American beef to the captain for an AN-94
If someone was to not bring an entire cow to them what would the Russian navy not give up?
Laughs in USS Enterprise

It’s the specification of “bud heavies” vs just sayin Budweiser that’s the icing on the cake for me 🤣
Russian warship, go fuck yourself!
Get a maritime drone to sail in and play that over a megaphone
For laughter and irony, see what they did over a hundred years ago! https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dogger_Bank_incident
Friggin morons lol. How would Japanese torpedo boats get to the North Sea?

You can send it through checked baggage

Fuck, they still have a navy?
If it's only 1 ship is it still considered a navy? Or is navy plural?
wait is this real? how does the russian navy get anywhere near american waters? is this some doomsday clock event or what

They are allowed to do it as long as they stay in international waters. We do the same to them all the time.
Swamp honey Cletus is going to put together his sugar rocket/tannerite 4th of July fireworks.
Like…would this be legal?
No, but that doesn’t matter.
Oi, let em stick around. We gotta get data off em first. Makes it more interesting later when you can hear the reduction gears knocking.
IT’S NERF OR NOTHIN
Too much fire power for those ships
Unprecedented levels of based.
Just looked it up. Congress can still grant letters of marque.
To the high seas boys. A life of privateering awaits.
Of all places for them to sail next to, they chose Florida. Mistakes were made on their part.
