Well, history has shown that once one grabs the Russian Bear by the tail, it is hard to let go. Both Napoleon and Hitler lived to regret their choice.

The Bedford Incident, Richard Widmark, Sidney Poitier.
Fairly realistic regarding naval situations between US and Soviet vessels in the middle of the Cold War.

Who cares if there are flies in Syria? How about a no mosquito zone in Florida?
To: silverleaf
Leave it to obama to create a red line that will be crossed by Syria, Russia and Turkey - among others Perhaps a misunderstanding exists about Obama's red lines. Everyone seems to think the lines are drawn to limit the actions of our adversaries (ISIS, Russia, Assad's Syria, Turkey) when in fact the red lines are meant to limit our actions in which case we have lived up to our own defined limitations.......

Thanks! I have a weird fascination for war movies. When you first posted the image, I thought the guy under the helmet supposedly misunderstood the order and fired. :-)

Got a page not found error? The link looks okay. I’ll check the mains site, maybe they’ve moved it.

I thought the guy under the helmet supposedly misunderstood the order and fired.That's exactly what happens, just it's not the guy in the helmet that is on fire control.
The movie is about military attitudes and brinkmanship. Poitier plays a questioning reporter to whom the ready (at battle stations) procedure is being explained, by the Captain (Widmark).
I won't spoil it further for you, and you can find the critical scenes on You Tube, maybe the whole movie.
