UK Defense Secretary reveals attacks submarines were sent by Putin towards UK in Russian 'spy op' over undersea cables

The Yantar was hanging around a lot above cables fairly recently. It's officially "oceanographic research", but everyone thinks it's a spy ship 

Has it ever stopped or is it just too much in the news? There’s a genocide occurring right now in Darfur.. it’s just not in the news. There’s stuff always going on

It wont stop. Ruzzia will never stop unless we transition into a "friendly" country. There was a lull from say 1990 to mid 2006(?) ish then it started up again. But during that lull we totally let our defences down... [edit] and decay under the premise the 'cold war was over'

Your not considered an authoritarian government until you praise Putin. Pro-Putin Putinites Providing Pure Political Power Promoting Putin.

Yeah but they have nukes. We can't just bomb them like the others.

Never. The US is ready to leave NATO and Russia is preparing their assault on the EU when that happens. The US is not coming to the rescue. Good luck.

Mad that daddy won't do it for you?

Relax they have subs placed all over the world as does the USA and anyone else with submarines

Yes, we know pretty much exactly where every russian submarine is from the point they leave port until they head out into the north Atlantic, I won't give details but a combination of satellites, hydrophones and helicopters between us and mainly the Norwegians means that we have that shit pretty locked down. Was a submariner for over a decade

Yes, the U.K. military is very modern. They have multi-role ocean surveillance ships that patrol constantly. They also have autonomous underwater drones, submarines and listening posts. This isn’t the first time they have caught Russians snooping, it happens fairly often, the Russian military equipment is archaic in comparison. Hollywood has played up the Russian military capabilities for decades which means folk vastly overestimate the rusted Russian USSR era hulks they have deployed. The military isn’t telling the press about the Russian presence because it’s surprising they caught them. It’s a mild warning, or reminder, that they are being watched.

Don't forget his many many enablers. Everyone carrying on about what a joyous day it'll be when he croaks. The horrors his replacement may bring could end the fun quite quickly.

The EU is not set up to be a very rapid or decisive body, except in matters related to the single market.  If it was, it would not have members as federation has not been a popular idea in Europe. The EU is very much a collection of individual states, each responsible for its own national security and with shifts in government. Thus, EU treads carefully on such matters, as it has limited authority both politically and legally.  Nor is EU the entirety of Europe, which complicates things even more. 

Because nobody wants an all-out war.

Well. doing nothing hoping it will somehow resolve on it's own is a well-established european policy. It is c**** and worked so far, why would anyone want to change it?

Because EU has no real army , it's used to being USA sidekick. And now it came to bite them

Didn't that submarine get into a spot of bother? Would be such a shame if that happened here.... Such a shame
