Russia Denies Having A Submarine In Swedish Waters. Speculates That it May Be A Dutch Sub



Mysterious ‘Russian Sub’ Off Sweden May Be Dutch – Defense Ministry Source -- RT

Swedish authorities reportedly searching for a Russian submarine in its waters are probably looking in the wrong direction. The sub is probably Dutch, a source in the Russian Defense Ministry told RT.

Earlier Swedish media reported that the nation’s navy is looking for a submarine in the Baltic Sea, possibly belonging to Russia.

Russia said there was no substance in reports of the Russian connection in the story.

“On Sunday the Russian Defense Ministry provided whatever aid it could to the Swedes in their futile search,” the source commented.

And I found some very bad news, the PM of DPR Zhakarshenko has "terminated" the ceasfire because of the rocket that hit a chmical factory in Donetsk today. What effect will this have? Will there be a resuming of war again? Please blog about it, would be nice too know if you have any extra details.

The Dutch obviously have imperialistic designs on Sweden.

They have the Dutch heraldic authority, Hoge Raad van Adel, poring over ancient medieval tomes making a case for Dutch claim to Gotland. This claim will be the pretext for war.
