Drudge Retort: The Other Side of the News
Monday, October 13, 2025

Nato chief Mark Rutte joked about the condition of Russia's naval fleet on Monday as Moscow denied one of its submarines had to surface because of technical problems. Russia's Black Sea Fleet said the diesel-powered submarine Novorossiysk had surfaced off France to comply with navigation rules in the English Channel, through which it was shadowed by a UK warship and helicopter.

Dutch authorities had said on Saturday the submarine was under tow in the North Sea. "What a change from the 1984 Tom Clancy novel The Hunt for Red October. Today, it seems more like the hunt for the nearest mechanic," Rutte said in a speech in Slovenia, saying the "broken" vessel was "limping" home. Rutte said there was "hardly any Russian naval presence in the Mediterranean left".

Vlad has been launching drones from ships at sea into NATO countries this year like he already owns the place.

"In fact, the causes of this panic about 'Russian drones' may be any one of the reasons listed above or a combination of them. That's not the main point," Medvedev wrote, originally in Russian.

"The main thing is that narrow-minded Europeans should feel on their own skin what the danger of war is. That they should be afraid and tremble like dumb animals in a herd being driven to the slaughter. That they should soil themselves with fear, sensing their near and agonizing end.".
