The latter now has thirty-plus years of experience as well as a frustratingly narrow record of ach... read more

But it was not to be. Late into the Cold War, the Soviet military hatched a wildly ambitious scheme to become a blue-water Navy. The 1991 collapse closed that chapter in Soviet military history, but Russia’s lingering maritime ambitions remain. In the late 1960s, the Soviet sh... read more

Greg Ellifritz, whom we've met in these pages before, has written a lengthy article explaining how best to respond in such situations, and how to avoid being assumed by police to be the guilty party instead of the "good guy".
