  Oh cool. Was the Moskva there? Oh wait...
context: Good luck finding an American sub let alone capture it.  They're not like China or Russia's loud counterparts. >
  
  In January 2021, when Biden took office, there was some conspiracy theory going around Chinese social media after a state news article was quoted as saying that the US naval officials (specifically the Navy) were meeting with PLA officials to discuss the return of POWs and KIAs in the present tense. And people were speculating, hang on.. the PLAN captured some US servicemembers?
  And the US sub that crashed into the underwater mountain? Another theory is that the sub was being chased by Chinese ASW units. Their argument is that the area is well documented, so the sub charts should have all the relevant data to safely navigate the area. Unless it was being harassed and taking evasive maneuvers. Another part to the theory that the PLAN was involved was because senior US Navy officials were supposedly pissed off at China for this incident.
  An interesting question, if a US sub was detected within undisputed Chinese waters, would the PLA be legally permitted to fire upon it? Or have an unscheduled anti-submarine drill. >
  
  What a load of shit >
  
  Did they practice the more likely scenario, of a russian submarine sitting at the bottom of the sea full of water, and China unable to help? >
  
  Lol. Good luck with that in the real world! >
  
  especially when it's a open secret USA has invisibility cloaking device tech on there submarines. >
  
  Does it have a laugh track in between? >
  
  No they went the clown route with trombone and boinky sounds >
  
  I bet even China laughs at Russia’s navy. >
  
  Only nervously. 
  Russia taught them all China knows. But not all that Russia knows. >
  
  Russia hasn't exactly been proven tactically capable.  The Chinese have likely confirmed that and now are sure on the outcome of Ukraine.
  That directly implies Taiwan is not going to see Russia backing up China militarily.  
  Now, if they convince Vlad to do something particularly stupid it might serve as a good distraction but that's as far as that'll go. >
  
  That seems like kind of a useless procedure, especially in a war situation. >
  
  Capturing a submarine huh?  So how did that go?
  "Greetings comrad, this is Russian big time captain of big blue water ship Maniskas Tit.  Yeah I am going to need you to bring your sub-marine vessels to surface for vodka inspection!  The bear on deck is getting hungry and Boriss knees are hurting from all the dancing he is doing in wait.  If you do not comply we will need to perform special military operations and send our pod of fully armed laser beluga to liberate." >
  
  HAHAHA! Capturing a sub! They’re more likely to be rescuing another sinking Russian ship >
  
  We laugh, but that's probably very close to why they actually did it. They don't want another Kursk situation and of course they will never admit they are practicing sub rescue, so they choose to call it capturing an enemy sub. >
  
  OK ... One submarine and they forgot to mention 3 rubber ducks. >
  
  We all like to dream... >
  
  How do you... capture a submarine that's underwater? >
  
  This is some Moby Dick shit. >
  
  Fucking clowns both of them >
  
  Someone in China watched the hunt for the Red October and wanted to try it
