ah yes because ww2 was a happy time for all and no other countries did anything compared to that. smart.

There is only one country that just sent a nuclear-armed submarine to one its vassal states as a show of willingness.

the russians literally lost so many nuclear subs in non native waters that the cia tried to grab one with a oversized arcade shop claw.

No other country in the history of humanity dropped nukes outside of tests. No other country nukes civilians. No other country nukes civilians in a country that was surrendering. There is no way around it.

I'm not talking about the existence of subs in non-native waters. I'm talking about surfacing a sub and announcing it's presence in South Korea as a sabre rattle. Russia didn't surface subs off the coast of Florida, it didn't surface subs in a port in Mexico. Because Russia isn't trying to get in a war with the USA. It's the USA that keeps expanding its military presence every year, believing it has the mandate to establish a command center for each region of the planet, using slogans like "the border is everywhere" to organize it's border patrol, and expanding the presence of its nuclear capabilities into 80+ countries.

No, there is no comparison.
