If the RAF had followed your train of thought in the past both Britain and Russia would have been obliterated long before the invention of the interweb. This went on every week for twenty years or so, and the last few years they've been at it again. They're having a nosey about. How to you think the Navy were able to offer assistance (unfortunately refused) when the Russians lost a submarine? Were they perhaps snooping around in Russian waters? Should the Russians drop depth charges every time they suspect a Britis sub is nearby?And what exactly is wrong with an "ad hominem" argument? Dodgy Agent, 16-5-2014 -
