Moscow warns Holland of ‘grave consequences’ after Russian aircraft carrier forces Dutch submarine to flee when it detects it following its fleet in the Mediterranean

Why do you talk it?

Russians have a base there, Dutch don't.

Apparently not, A.N. Presumably on the basis that they are to the North of it....separated by the land mass of Europe. Whereas Russia does. To the extent to date of the Crimea, naval bases in Cyprus and building a third in Syria. With close access to the Suez Canal and the supply of European oil and gas coming in from the Middle East to boot. No problemo tho...they are our friends.

Yes they do. But if you are going to shadow another nation's navy, show some common sense and keep a reasonable distance.

The Russians have four to date. One in the Crimea, two in Cyprus and one in Syria. The fact that the Netherlands is part of NATO is of course by the by. The presumption of this logic is that no marine elements from countries who don't have a "base" in the Mediterranean should be allowed into the Med. Care to name the UK's bases in the Med?

Tracking Russian ships, when they know damn well where their heading to?Thats not a right,that's needless hostility.

Russia don't have military bases in Cyprus.Crimea is not even Mediterranean Sea and Ukrainian anyway.The UK have two military bases on Cyprus, Akrotiri and Dhekelia.

Having said that we are talking about dilapidated ruski rustbuckets. They're probably still using the stars to navigate.

Google HMS Vanguard and Le Triomphant. And now think about Russian sub and dutch struck same way. Russian MOD not tryed scaremonger NATO, they just asked dutch sub stay on surface

bank. They never spotted the British ones either. Probably because it costs too much to put them to sea. Gotta keep priorities in the UK, like spending taxpayers money to keep our unelected house of lards undoing the democratic will of the British voters.
