    No one finds it hilarious that Ukraine releases a stamp on which its soldier salutes a Russian ship with a middle finger and the next day that exact ship is sunk?

  2. Did that ship actually sink or not?

    I have seen reports all over the place as to whether it went down or was still afloat.

    "Russia’s defense ministry said Thursday that the Moskva “remains afloat” and that measures were being taken to tow it to port. "

    Let me put it this way. Russia admits that ammo on board the ship detonated. Also that all the crew [remaining] was evacuated. That does not point to the ship's further viability.

    I never laughed as I said in 2013 already that Putin is the most dangerous man on earth.They laughed at me too.

    Trump was an ally from Putin, or rather a puppet on a string. He wanted to cancel NATO, started to fight with Europe (to make us weaker against Putin), and he visited Putin a few times (scripts of what was spoken about where never made public, for some meetings there were even no scripts although that is obliged by law).
    Putin told him how to riot at Capitol Hill and how to divide the US over the "manipulated" elections. Trump did a lot of things in the US with which Putin was very happy. The US has never been more divided then when Trump was president.

    Reelection of Trump will be a huge danger for the US.

    According to Jazeera the boat capsized and sunk.
    Turkey saved apparently 54 Russian that were in the sea. So that contradicts the statement from Russia that all soldiers were evacuated, because then there would not be 54 soldiers swimming in the sea. Russia will never confirm the real situation. If it started with a fire, why did the Russian not try to stop that fire? Maybe because they had no water??? LOL.


    Russia’s largest warship The Moskva sinks near Ukrainian coast after missile attack
    Russia's largest warship The Moskva has reportedly exploded and sunk near Odessa after a Ukrainian missile attack.

    Open-source intelligence analysts picked up distress signals from the warship which communicated “SOS” and “sinking” in morse code.

    Severe storms were reported over the Black Sea at the time of attack.

    Unconfirmed reports suggested the Russian cruiser was distracted by a Ukrainian drone in a targeted missile attack and was unable to redirect its defences in time.

    Ugh. I never said YOU laughed. I said THEY laughed. And they did. Its right there in the video. Trump didn't want to cancel NATO, he wanted countries to pay their fair share.

    As to the rest of this, whatever. I don't care. All I found interesting was that Trump pointed out how Germans would be reliant on Russian energy, they laughed, and he was right. End of story.

    Instead of trying to justify...anything...just accept that and move on.

    I have to say if what is being said about the attack, that drones were used to distract defenses, the Ukrainians are putting together some very sophisticated attacks.
