I personally may sound crazy here but I think the UK should have taken the opportunity to sink half the russian fleet while they had the chance. British submarines could have taken those two ships by suprise and sunk them both before they even had chance to scramble.
It sounds crazy but the writing is on the wall for a large scale war anyway, and it is looking very likely that Russia will be an enemy. So why not?

Yes, your right I am. That is because I now think large scale war is inevitable and we should have taken the opportunity to take the advantage whilst we had it. Russia has 1 aircraft carrier in service, Britain could have effectivly disable their entire surface fleet by sinking it.
The International Military Tribunal at Nuremberg, which followed World War II, called the waging of aggressive war "essentially an evil thing...to initiate a war of aggression...is not only an international crime; it is the supreme international crime,
Article 39 of the United Nations Charter provides that the UN Security Council shall determine the existence of any act of aggression and "shall make recommendations, or decide what measures shall be taken in accordance with Articles 41 and 42, to maintain or restore international peace and security".
The Rome Statute of the International Criminal Court refers to the crime of aggression as one of the “most serious crimes of concern to the international community”, and provides that the crime falls within the jurisdiction of the International Criminal Court (ICC).

The British Navy in an an unprovoked attack.. Killed XXX innocent people and sank a Russian vessel in international waters.
This is what is known as a war of aggression..
This is from the convention for the definition of aggression.. "Attack by its land, naval or air forces, with or without a declaration of war, on the territory, vessels or aircraft of another State."

And now the MSM reports that one is just now on the way?
Geez you really cant believe ANYTHING on this website until it has been reported in the MSM and then folks can call people they know who live in the said area to get confirmation.
