    I assume the russian navy would prefer them to leak nuclear waste near america than at their moorings.

    too right cheeky shits haha, and not to mention the intimidating presence, we wouldnt send RAF over with every bomber jet we have "ah they needed to train in russian-style climate, homeland and nearby countries wouldnt be the same" haha

    and travelling to usa isnt a method of training im sure it could be done more locally and less threatening, especially to usa a country very paranoid and had to deal with alot of warefare and defence etc

    Don't you find the lack of capitals and all of the tedious punctuation "interesting"? :D

    The fact the US knows they're there mitigates any threat they could pose? Surely?

    They didn't know where one was, presumably the other one was letting them know their location. In a hello, look at me I'm on your doorstep kinda of way.
