It’s extremely obvious that a conventional fight against US vs Russia in the Med we would prevail.

But only a neocon believes we can fight Russian flagged forces, and that Russia will accept a conventional defeat and leave it at that.

That is some serious roulette table mentality there.

Oh, just don’t start a shooting contest with Ivan.

What I get a kick about from that graphic is where is says, regarding the UK subs “location unknown”. Well, then, they’re not going to be much use, are they?
