Russia agreed to relocate planned naval exercises away from the Irish Sea following a formal request from the Irish government and threats of protest from local fishing groups. The incident was viewed as a rare diplomatic concession by Moscow. Meanwhile, U.S. Ambassador John Sullivan reiterated that the idle Nord Stream 2 pipeline serves as a pressure point against Russian economic interests.

Donald P. Gregg revisited the 2010 sinking of the South Korean ship ROKS Cheonan, challenging the official narrative that a North Korean miniature submarine fired a torpedo. Gregg points to Russian investigations suggesting the damage was more consistent with a sea mine. He notes the improbability of a North Korean sub successfully attacking a ship during a joint U.S.-South Korean naval exercise.
