Well, I mean, I think not quite because it's such a random set of events.

Again, look, it's a couple, you know, as we've described, right?

It's a couple on a boat, you know, bumping in, if you will, bumping into a Russian warship.

Exactly so.

So in that sense, no.

But are the Brits worried about a possible, you know, Russian retaliation, a seizure of British merchant shipping in another location?

What would that look like?

Yes, they are.

Well, I think let's not get ahead of ourselves.

And I think you shouldn't start predicting an escalation where there may not be one.

Let's see what if Russia does anything at all.

And then if it does, I think the context would be very important.

All I'm trying to say is, again, we're in the situation of heightened tensions.

And although we shouldn't see what happened in the channel on Thursdays, directly part of that, it sits within that context.

And ultimately, perhaps that's why the Russians were a little bit trigger happy because they were twitchy too.

Well, yes, in the sense that the Gregorovism is always shadowed by a British offshore patrol vessel.

But there are a lot of questions about how much money and resources the Navy has had.

And certainly there was a big struggle to send a single warship, HMS Dragon, to Cyprus.

The conflict, the war in the Middle East, took three weeks for Britain to do that.

So British resources are stretched.
