Cold War Games

After being woken up at five yesterday morning by the sound of freedom, I had to drive to ISK for the day. This set me thinking.

If Putin is sending his airplanes over, what is happening with his navy, in particular his subs?

Seems the defence reviews have all assumed that the threat had gone.

Lots of stories on the medja regards the Bears coming, it seems very quiet on the need to partol the Atlantic or the like.

In case you are wondering not a journo, but a tax payer wondering if we can afford to defend our nation.
