How close are we to global naval warfare?
 
In June 2024, a Russian warship and a nuclear-powered submarine docked in Havana, Cuba, along with two support vessels. Their presence served as a curtain-raiser to a much larger Russian naval exercise due to take place in the Caribbean within the next few months. The show of strength was not lost on Washington, and was interpreted by some as a response to American support for Ukraine. Nonetheless, all eyes are currently on the South China Sea, where a recent encounter between a Philippine Navy chartered vessel and the Chinese coast guard prompted the president of the Philippines to describe the incident as very close to an "act of war." So, how close are we to witnessing disputes of this kind fueling a global maritime conflict?

I seriously doubt Xi and Putin are interested in doing battle with the US at this point, but they also know that in the WH sits a weak, mentally incompetent, old fool who might be threatened into giving up US power. :scared smiley:
