and just to clarify, the USA and Russia have been at war for decades. It's largely a behind the scenes war, but it is a war. The same applies to the UK.

I know that.I know there’s been an arms race going on for years.

Russia will probably have subs in position by now.What happens if we hit a Russian asset and they decide to send one of their subs or jets out to try and sink a US/UK destroyer?
It doesn’t take much for it to escalate.The Russians are always coming over here pinging our radar.

It’s crazy.
