Russia hopes the Swedish military and civil authorities will be soberer in assessing the security situation in the Baltic Sea region, the Russian Foreign Ministry said in a statement on Monday.The statement followed acknowledgement by a Swedish Navy spokesman that the "Russian submarine" Swedish media reported about in fall 2014 turned out to be a "technical vessel.""The hunt for the Russian submarine, unprecedented in scale, thus turned out to be nothing more than a waste of money of Swedish taxpayers," the ministry said."It was apparently done for the sake of anti-Russian hysteria and to propagandize the myth of a ‘military threat’ from the East," it said.Source: http://tass.ru/en/russia/789041-- TASS 2015-04-14 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Barin Posted April 14, 2015 Share Posted April 14, 2015 (edited) Good that Norway has the courage to admit this mistake. Waiting now for Holland to admit that there is not enough evidence to claim that Malaysia Airlines flight was shot down by the rebels, and there is a probability that it was actually shot down by the Ukraine Army.

Where does Norway come into this? And why should it effect the report of the Netherlands' government the shooting down of the Malaysian passenger plane? I know who I'd believe between Netherlands and Russia - and it ain't Vlad and his mates. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Holland can't do that cos it signed a 4 country agreement that all 4 countries had to agree on any findings that were to be released to the press, yes Ukraine was one of the countries !

connda Posted April 14, 2015 Share Posted April 14, 2015 NATO and Russia have been playing games like this since the beginning of the old war. Nothing new under the sun here. I'm sure NATO has 'technical vessels' poking around the perimeter of Russian and Chinese waters, just as they poke around at NATO perimeters. Its a game until it's not a game. The good guy/bad guy paradigm is all relative to which side of the fence you happen to be born on. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
