The nuclear submarine USS Delaware was forced to turn around off the coast of Norway after a refusal to refuel by a private company following the Trump and Zelensky meeting.

In reality more than half, but you have a totally fucked up election system. A mathematical bullshit, which is probably the only thing keeping republicans alive and will keep on doing so until you get rid of the electoral college.
No, normal fuel oil, but it’s still important even on a nuclear sub. It might be the hot rock that makes the steam that does the roundy roundy, but burning hydrocarbons still has its role.
it's not where it's supposed to be on whatever mission it was on that was no doubt keeping us and our allies safe. so trump's bs is making us all less safe.
Exactly. There’s almost certainty going to be a mission impact from this, which is exactly what our enemies would love to cause. They would probably spend millions to intentional misposition our subs and Trump just gave it to them.
They need nuclear fuel, which is supplied by Nuclear Fuel Services and BWX Technologies, both American companies licensed by the US Nuclear Regulatory Commission.
a lot of things, but not to propel the submarine. It’s the hot rock that makes the steam to cause the roundy roundy, but you can’t burn steam for a variety of other uses.
We could and should, but the submarines do a lot of work and aren’t a wise place to make that cut, compared to say, enormous kickbacks to military contractors for completely unnecessary military excursions.
We will have to stop it. When it's about to stop energy supply for Ramstein, I will support it at once. Not because of harming Americans, but Trump, Vance and Musk. I very much hope, that all countries will stop any support of US Air Bases AT ONCE!
Yep. He is delusional to think that America's reach and success isn't due to our alliances with other countries. It's FAFO time for the American traitors.
It is! You are absolutely right! Without any alliance, the US is no better and has no more favorable conditions than Russia. It will be isolated cause no one wants an enemy within the own country.
China does not like that, I am sure. Europe is a huge market for China. It's not interested in this kind of shit. I hear a loud and clear Tick Tock for Trump. He will not get his minerals for his Tech Bros, but they are in urgent need of it. China will make profit out of it at last.
& how the hell is that working out for them now?🤔
To vote for a man who PUBLICLY said soldiers were suckers & losers 🤷

Im SO happy to be going to Norway for a vacation in September! All discretionary vacation dollars of this household will be spent in Canada, Mexico, and Europe from here on out.
So, all of our existing nuclear submarines use Normal Fuel Oil for a variety of things, and although they can run without it, there will be impacts to being unable to resupply…
Probably all I can say specifically about it, by its 100% real, as someone who’s been in more than a few sub NFO tanks.
It’s nothing less than Trump deserves. He’ll have the whole world against us soon. Except for Putin and the other dictators. Remind me again to tell the Trump voters what I think of them.🤨
It's a bunch of Resistance Grifter/Never Trumper/pro ukraine bloggers all sharing the alleged story without attribution, offering no evidence, and citing each other. Classic nonsense that goes viral without any facts.
I wish they would explain a little bit more.
The Delaware is nuclear powered.
Perhaps they needed replenishments such as food, perishables, etc.
Or perhaps the U.S. Navy ordered the Delaware to turn around to avoid international and political problems.
Nuclear vessels require a lot of port security.
They’ll be okay, propulsion is nuclear, but they definitely need that fuel for reasons and it’s going to have mission impacts if their refueling options are limited.
As it is nuclear-powered, they probably refused some other service besides fuel. Nevertheless, good for them. I can imagine a day soon if Trump is not removed, where the USA is politely escorted out of Europe.
As was the USS Virginia. I fully support these actions by Norway. Please do more of it! OSTRACIZE THE CRIMINAL REGIME! And, please help us fight them and defeat them.
I think once this administration is gone, folks around the world will gladly re-accept US back into the ranks of civilized countries. It really shouldn't take decades.
I think you're dreaming. They've shown the weaknesses in the US system that can be exploited after any election, meaning any long term agreements are effectively a crap shoot. It will be cash on the barrelhead every time and purely transactional relationships.
Every interaction with an ally, by stinky, makes us worse off and less safe.
It doesn’t impact his EVIL ass, but KARMA knows everyone’s address so be patient-
🤣🤣🤣 If only this were true I'd still be laughing. However, nuclear fuelled submarines are not fuelled by diesel which is what the company are now refusing to sell to the US Navy. I commend them, the USA has been utterly humiliated by its leaders. Reported as misinformation.
Ah, fair enough, I am corrected, just as it should be. 😁It is sad to see the USA now being treated as an international pariah - but I guess that's what you get when you vote in a collection of sociopaths.
I see in near future, USA departing from the coalition of NATO, while Trump is president. It remains to be seen if Trump is not coward enough to do it, or he is ignorant enough to be a coward. All depends on how many of his cabinet MAGA clan members remain in the circle at time of decision.
My heart is hurting for our sailors. Our men and women who have given their effort and focus to serve OUR CONSTITUTION and find the pathetic traitor at 1600 Penn Ave betrayed them.
Norway must protect itself of course. Trump basically declared war yesterday.

Thanks.
I was a diesel-powered surface ship sailor on a refueling ship. I don’t know much about subs.
I never thought of that.
The nuclear power is main for the main drive in hybrid subs.

(At least some of them also have a retractable backup propeller to let them move slowly on electrical power)

Sorry.
Don’t forget vance, a nazifascist horror. Scary weirdo.
Just look at him.
#2 in line.
They must all be stopped.
On a completely different subject altogether, 😉😉
where’s squeaky fromm & that other dude?
Trump/Vance just lost this advantage built on trust.
No NATO alliance country will trust an US Air Base on domestic ground any longer.

But whenever I see a bunch of layman asking how this or that could be possible, I assume there is something basic they don’t know.
And that strategy rarely fails.

Actually, we do use NFO on nuclear subs.
Hopefully, some cooler heads prevail, and turn this around!
Can you hear the crying from WH?
Is hegsworthless available? Or drink?
However, they do have a backup engine that is diesel-powered, and that does need fuel.

Why would the world be kind to the US after these acts?

You've got bigger problems.

And our troops, our troops 🥹
