We've completely lost our minds over the Russian submarines so it's nice to see something good come out of the whole ordeal.

This is brilliant and beautiful. Well-played, Swedes.

Why you'd ever drive a submarine through that archipelago is beyond me. I mean, it hurts to look at just on a map. I guess that's why you do it, to show everyone that you can?

Kudos to the Swedes behind this though.

Kamarov: Give me a stopwatch and a map, and I'll fly the Alps in a plane with no windows.

Yuri (Diving Officer): If the map is accurate enough.

Funny, but won't stop Putin's efforts to intimidate civilized countries.

It's all very funny laughing at Putin and making him out to be a buffoon, with his ultra-butch shirtless beefcake photo-ops and his peculiar obsession with the existence of homosexuality, but the worry is that everyone will stop laughing when he, say, nukes Bratislava or decides to carve out a land corridor to Kaliningrad or something, just because.
