It's all going according to plan and goals are being accomplished right on target.

At least that's what we're told.

So the Moskva's demise was planned.

so maybe they'll pretend that they're starting a war now. Even though the official claim is that it was caused by a fire.

Maybe now they'll say they're in a war instead of a "special military operation".

uninformed and stupid about what's going on in the world. I appreciated America even more, despite the stinking pile shit that is the republican party, because at least we are informed enough to know the republican party is a stinking pile of shit.

No, not about the sinking, about how many Russian seamen were actually rescued. I don't for a minute believe that were not casualties.

Doubtful to me that 510 seamen survived, hit by a missile causing munitions to explode and caused the ship to sink.

Russia only has 3, er now 2 of these types of warships.

To counter the humiliation of the flag ship being sunk I see that Russia is countering by threatening to use nuclear weapons again. Russia and the GQP have to control the narrative.

After having first declared that the dead and incapacitated--even for a few weeks while recovering in a hospital--aren't *really* crew members.

Let definitions shift, anything's true and anything's false. At the superficial level of what looks like words.
