so let me guess.. a bunch of trawlers who are invisible to radar and human eyes manage to cut cables that are buried 20-30 meters under the ocean floor, and magically very far away from each other, in a small time frame... you got any better ideas???

Ok, one question - why?

It's a horrendously risky, expensive and stupid plan - all for what? See, this is why I don't believe in conspiracy theories. It's just too intricate, risky and value-less to actually happen.


In the worst case, one (or more) of the Israeli diesel subs could've done it - and why go that far, when the Israelis have plenty of commando-oriented sea vehicles to start with? They're more likely to take these sorts of moves in the region. But involving the most expensive and complex nuclear sub in the world and the whole American, Russian and Iranian navies - in running fights at that - in all of this is way far out.

You mean a wayward two-headed electric catfish from Chernobyl?

Maybe :hmm:

It certainly should do as well as that other fictional submarine thriller, "Red Star Rogue".

You can run with it all you'd like...that's what drives conspiracy nuts anyway...no matter what type of evidence is provided...it's not right.

Elite Hunter you have a wonderful imagination.


Think of what you could accomplish if you actually used it constructively.
