“Now this is News! Not really. Absolutely devoid of any context, this event is almost meaningless to any viewer. But I get that is it vaguely hostile and threatening on both parts. The reporting of this presumably routine bit of naval behaviour does seem to be a little politically motivated.

Its good that we have these war ships and submarines so that nation states can patrol around keeping us normal people safe. Without their aggression towards each other, we’d probably live in almost absolute fear. Oh wait a second, we do anyway. Oops!”
