Russian naval activities

A changing maritime world order

There’s so much noise re Trump that I thought I’d spare you - and look at something different, but important. There are a couple of things that are bubbling under the surface that look serious to me, even if not quite on the scale of a US President deliberately setting fire to the global economy.

To show how jumpy the world is, yesterday a post on X yesterday by a certain and otherwise obscure ‘Walter Bloomberg’ stating that Kevin Hassett, one of Trump’s economic advisers, had said that Trump was considering a 90-day pause on tariffs for all countries except China caused markets to briefly spike upwards - adding $2.4 trillion in value before the report was denied (and all those gains wiped out).

These are dangerous times. Volatility is the enemy of peace and prosperity.

So, on that note, here is something important on current developments with and activities of the Russian Navy.
