Sunk! Russians Admit Top Black Sea Ship Has Hit Rock Bottom | Talking Points Memo

So what did the nearly 500 navy guys die from anyway, did they die before or after the ship sank?

Confused. (not really)

And if the UA maritime warning location holds up, it’s in relatively shallow waters, just 30 meters deep, near snake island.

Great tourist possibilities, quick helicopter or ship ride out from Odesa, and a small diving ride out from the island.

Let alone curious if the Navy’s already snuck up on it to see if there’s anything Intel-worthy to retrieve.

And these are individuals who are fighting for their existence as a people. I am quite positive that puts an edge to their efforts.

But he’s been getting so much practice. It’s almost… Trumpian in it’s frequency and totality.

Everything is going according to plan comrade! This is simply a feint to draw Ukraine’s 1st Tractorized Farming Division into the Black Sea.

I am surprised at the degree of their similarities. Think for a moment if their respective political systems were more similar.

OT.

That much is certain. But I thought Vance was behind Gibbons and Mandel in the polling. Has Vance pulled ahead?

The war started with Ukrainian sailors on Snake Island telling Moskva “Go fuck yourself!” and then 50 days later the Russian MOD basically claimed that’s exactly what Moskva ended up doing.

Deeper water is less flammable, its science mate.

I drink a toast to either the Ukrainian gent who fired the missile that hit the Moskva or the naval conscript who stopped for a cigarette break in a room not exactly conducive to lit matches.

I thought that was a nice thing until I remembered that it has fuel, missiles and who knows what else on board; vodka even.

Take a salty dog, but put the salt in the bottom of the glass instead of the rim. Call it a Moskva Dog. In honor of it sinking.

Sunk due to an unforeseen “explosion” and “stormy weather”. I bet.

They are clumsy. So many have a habit of tripping on stairs and falling out 12 story windows.

That’s the problem when you use the reins of government to promote lies: no one believes you, until we see the evidence.

So when Russia claimed it wasn’t a missile, it was just a munitions mishap, that told me right away that Ukraine scored another victory.

And a ‘munitions mishap’ was the best lie they could come up with? That, in itself, highlights the incompetency of Russia’s troops. Don’t we have enough examples of that already?
