Sinking Of The Russian Cruiser Moskva

[Gromit]

The Moskva sank on 14 April 2022 after being damaged by fire. Ukrainian officials said their forces hit Moskva with two R-360 Neptune anti-ship cruise missiles, setting her on fire in heavy seas. The Russian Ministry of Defence said she sank after a fire caused a munitions explosion.

Could this be a turning point in the war ? I hope so.

But seems anything not 100% true to Ukraine is attacked by what on social media would be classed as bullies, and no i'm not in Russia lol. went there in the 60s (USSR)loved it a holiday by cosmos tours, 65 guineas all in. TU104b from gatwick if anyone's interested to kiev/ moscow /Leningrad 27th april 1968. i could go on......

She tried to spell her name in reverse but failed.

And you know the weird thing is, in its announcement of the “fire/explosion/ missile strike Moscow hasn’t said a word about casualties .
Don’t they care?
And if they don’t, why would we?

[THECORBYLOON]

Even if they did mention casualties, would they be believed anyway?

[ynnafymmi]

A bit like the Belgrano incident.Both ships and their complements were the victims of the fascist regimes which sent them out to their deaths.

[ichkeria]

In a memorable turn of phrase Zelensky said Russia treats its own service personnel like someone stuffing logs in a furnace. It’s just what it’s like: 20,000 dead and for what?
Re the actual question (at last) I don’t think it’s a turning point. It’s not a naval conflict mainly

[ichkeria]

They could at least have mentioned them.
That’s the point

[ynnafymmi]

Even the great humanitarian socialist Joseph Stalin described the Russian soldiers and people who died fighting Hitler as just"riff-raff".Nothing has changed has it?

[THECORBYLOON]

The "riff-raff" were the ones he had authorised to be murdered during his Great Purge which was prior to WWII, not his soldiers who had fought against Hitler

[ichkeria]

We know Stalin was prepared to let the people of Lenigrad perish in the siege

[ynnafymmi]

It wasnt Stalin though.All those killed in the so called purges were murdered by Trotskyite agents.Stalin was at the forefront of all the major battles of WW2.Stalingrad,Smolensk,Kursk.He led from the front,he didnt cower in the Kremlin like a sewer rat as some Trotskyite s have claimed.

Bizarre
