I recall being told on this forum by a poster that worrying about Russia was like going back to the 50's and very backward looking.
Well, we see them in Syria and just read this...wondering if this is just nothing to be concerned about...
"A Russian nuclear-powered attack submarine armed with long-range cruise missiles operated undetected in the Gulf of Mexico for several weeks and its travel in strategic U.S. waters was only confirmed after it left the region, the Washington Free Beacon has learned.
It is only the second time since 2009 that a Russian attack submarine has patrolled so close to U.S. shores.
The stealth underwater incursion in the Gulf took place at the same time Russian strategic bombers made incursions into restricted U.S. airspace near Alaska and California in June and July, and highlights a growing military assertiveness by Moscow.
The submarine patrol also exposed what U.S. officials said were deficiencies in U.S. anti-submarine warfare capabilities.

Nobody to worry about...
" CHICAGO, Aug 14 (Reuters) - U.S. wheat futures fell for a
third session on Tuesday, erasing early strength and setting a
one-month low after Egypt bought Russian and Ukrainian wheat at
an international tender and sent a signal that U.S. grain was
overpriced, traders said."
