#1 Please correct me iff I'm wrong, but wasn't this Sub recently revealed to be "Dutch", NOT Russian???

No one e-v-a-r suspects the Dutchies, or Edam Cheese.

#2 The perfidious Netherworlders (or "Netherlands", as they like to call it) had indeed been in the area.
There's a reason they call them 'The Low Countries'.
(A little light snark to start out the day.)

#4 I think it was claimed to be Dutch, supposedly to distract from the fact that it's Russian. I s'pose we won't know until the Swedes catch the thing... but why would the Dutch lurk in the Swedish depths without admitting it?

#5 The proper thing to do here is to call up Putin and tell him that we know his sub is in sector A and in 12 hours it will start moving out of Sweden's territory. Then call up the Swedes and tell them to immediately start searching somewhere other than sector A.

Everybody wins. Nobody dies. Situation over.
