New Russian nuclear submarine enters service

The Russian navy on Thursday hoisted its flag on a new nuclear powered submarine intended to form a key part of the country's future nuclear deterrent. It is part of an ambitious weapons modernization effort that comes as the military is preparing for a naval exercise off Syria's shores.

I guess Russia wants to keep the Cold War alive. Unfortunately if the US plays the same game it may be the US economy that crumbles this time.

My guess is that it will sink in less than 6 months and hopefully in Russian waters.
