BREAKING: The U.S. Navy announces that the Houthis have for the first time tried to attack US vessels in the Red Sea with an unmanned underwater drone (UUV). The drone was spotted and destroyed before it got anywhere close to the ships.

This is some amazing reporting, but I am unpersuaded by the framing. Russia's nuclear doctrine as described sounds exactly what official documents say it is. A short thread. ft.com/content/f18e6e…

An interesting read with plenty to agree on, but I think 🇬🇧 should be much more focused on working with the Norwegians on the ‘Bear gap’ rather than the GIUK gap Given the range of Russian SLCMs if Russian SSNs/SSGNs get into the Norwegian Sea they can hold sites in 🇬🇧 at risk
