This recent rescue of a Russian submarine and its crew of seven is a good example of the gradual melting of national boundaries.

For the ill-informed among you, on Friday the Russian mini-sub AS-28 became entangled in a fishing net, or an underwater antenna depending on what story you hear, and became stuck about 600 feet below the surface of the Pacific Ocean. This occurred off the coast of the Kamchatka Peninsula on Russia's far eastern coast.
