alibabba Posted August 7, 2005 Share Posted August 7, 2005 It seems that the Brits were able to cut the cables that were snarled in the Russian sub's propeller and the crew was saved. Do we think that there will be and political gains or losses because of this rescue? In any event, it was a job well done, and I am sure that there are now at least 8 Russian seamen who will look kindly tyoward the Brits for the rest of their lives.

Dave Posted August 7, 2005 Share Posted August 7, 2005 Political fallout after this kind of thing is usually next to nothing. People are happy because nobody's died. The entire issue of why it happened gets put onto some inquiry somewhere, consequently gets forgotten about and doesn't even make the news. Probably the Russians will owe us one which we can cash in later on (presumably when we're in a tight spot ourselves). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
