    Who would win? A big fat static target of an aircraft carrier or a small submarine who can go to Greenland, torpedo the big fat target, and go back home?

    Before you say “Murica!!!”, remember that the US Navy has a history of being surprised and kicked in the nuts by other nations submarines.

      The europeans would have to have some backbone to do anything like that though and they do not. The entirety of Europe’s establishment are careerists, none of them are willing to do anything that risks their own lives.

      There isn’t a single spine between them. They are all middle managers in temperament.
