Nuclear Subs 'Collide In Ocean'
Jantastic noted a BBC report saying "A Royal Navy nuclear submarine was involved in a collision with a French nuclear sub in the middle of the Atlantic. It is understood HMS Vanguard and Le Triomphant were badly damaged in the crash earlier this month. Despite being equipped with sonar, it seems neither vessel spotted the other, the BBC's Caroline Wyatt said."
Wait, didn't it read that one was French? I didn't know that anyone there could do more than cower under a table?
Mutually Assured Destruction only works when it is Mutually Assured.
You miss part of the sentence, 'The Threat of' needs to be included.
And in case of guy's with a religious chip on their rag head even that doesn't work, they long to be destructed.
So be careful what you wish for, the old enemies mutually giving up on this type of potential destruction will only invite these even scarier opponents of humanity.

Since when are the French our allies? Non-combatants maybe, but exactly allies.
The British sub obviously didn't hear the French sub laying on it's horn as it ran through the red light...
I'm still confused by this France as allies bullshit. It would seem to me that the best way to win a war would be to get the French to join the other side and attempt to do something. Then, when they massively fuck up because their command structure sucks the big one and always has, you have the perfect opening to end the war.
That's not funny. My brother died that way.
Fuck you, you ignorant cocksucker.
