UK and Norway team up to hunt Russian submarines and undersea sabotage

Russian u-boats regularly violated Swedish territorial waters. Sweden complained to Russia increasingly persistently as the territorial violations went on. The Russians basically ignored them and continued.

Russian u-boats also went into Finnish territorial waters. The Finns dropped depth charges on them. The Russians complained to the Finns about attacking their boats. The Finns responded by saying, oh, I'm sorry, we were having military exercises. We did not expect anyone to be in that area as that would be illegal. Please make sure you won't go there again because we plan on continuing our exercises. Here is a map. The Russians no longer violate Finnish waters.

What do we all learn from this? Putler is a very simple mafia thug. You don't have civilised conversations with mafia thugs, you punch them in the face. They don't learn any other way.

Modern Auto

This is unironically what these US vehicles look like to Europeans.

Bonus:

The car in the middle is a Volvo V70. That is a very large car in Europe. Now compare that to the size of the US thing, it's ridiculous.
