There’s a lot to be said for an alliance. It bolsters not only the defense of each nation that enters into the agreement, but it also helps to further develop a friendly sense of cooperation, as the terms of mutual defense often lead to an air of cooperation in economic and social realms as well.

In March, Russian state-owned media outlets made a surprising announcement: a new documentary series had entered into production that promised to tell the story of Russian nuclear attack submarine commanders sneaking their vessels into American harbors.
