  13. This ship was most regarded in the military community for its provocative missile arrangement. It was considered a floating symbol of openly hostile posturing and now it rests on the ocean floor. "Hope it was ensured"

  25. USA is playing with fire, it is asking for its own destruction, USA targeting of Moskva ship is Russia's "Pearl Harbor", retaliation is next.
    It has now been revealed that the US military ran the entire operation to sink the Moskva, including running the tracking of the ship via a P-8 Poseidon surveillance aircraft, which then handed off fire solutions to the Ukrainians who were all trained by the US military as well. Thus, the United States provided the weapons, the training, the tracking and the fire solution to sink the Moskva.

    By sinking the Moskva, the US just handed Putin something akin to "Russia's Pearl Harbor moment," in which Putin can claim to his people that the USA initiated an attack on the Russian Navy, sinking one of their ships and killing hundreds of their people. This news has, of course, been paraded all across Russian media, driving domestic support for Putin even higher than before.

    Just like with Pearl Harbor in the United States, the people of Russia are now demanding "payback" from the aggressors, whom they see as the United States. In effect, the USA just handed Putin the final piece of the puzzle that he needs to launch retaliatory nuclear strikes against the West.

  41. "It sunk because the stuff on board caught fire."

    Sure. Probably just normal preparations before reallocating the vessel into the submarine fleet.

    Russia: there's a big difference between a "phase 2" and a "plan B," and we're all aware of it.
