Russia provokes weak-willed Britain

Russian submarines in the North Sea recently threatened vital energy and data cables, British Defense Secretary John Healey revealed yesterday. According to Healey, a British warship accompanied by a marine patrol aircraft dropped sonar buoys in a monthlong operation that eventually deterred the three submarines. The incident “raises further questions about the state of Britain’s Armed Forces,” the Telegraph commented. It also shows that nations like Russia no longer fear British military might.
