Russia's Black Sea Fleet Headquarters Demolished and Commanding Admiral Presumed Dead
Red State ^ | September 22, 2023 | Streiff

Posted on 09/22/2023 6:16:24 PM PDT by Timber Rattler

A volley of Ukrainian cruise missiles demolished the headquarters of Russia's Black Sea Fleet in Sevastopol, in Occupied Crimea. The strategic communications directorate of the Armed Forces of Ukraine announced the attack that took place around noon Sevastopol time this way on social media:

(snip)

Fleet Headquarters was struck by two or three cruise missile, either British Storm Shadow or French SCALP-EG. In this video you can see one of them on short final.

There are reports of several high-ranking officers killed or injured in the attack. Unofficially, Admiral Viktor Sokolov, commander of the Black Sea Fleet, was among the dead.

To understand how we got here, you need to look at Ukrainian military operations over the last two or three weeks. A little over a week ago, Ukrainian cruise missiles and unmanned surface vehicles destroyed two Russian warships, a submarine and a landing ship, and an antiaircraft patrol vessel was damaged while underway. That attack had been set up by a commando raid on a radar and antiaircraft site in Crimea that punched a hole in the air defense belt surrounding Sevastopol. Other antiaircraft sites have been hit in the last two weeks; Last week, an S-400 antiaircraft missile battery covering downtown Sevastopol, the location of the Black Sea Fleet headquarters, was taken out.

These attacks opened a corridor for Ukrainian strike aircraft to get very close to Crimea before launching their missiles.

Hitler wasn’t a Christian. He wanted to create a new hybrid warrior pseudo-religious cult blending Mohammadanism with Nordic folklore. Once the Jews were removed, those Christians that didn’t get on board with the new religious cult he sought to head would’ve been eliminated. Why they wanted absolute control over children to educate them in the new religion.

Putin has made no moves or indication he intends to pursue some Satanic direction. Zelensky, however, has.

During the year and a half of the full-scale invasion, the number of Ukrainians with disabilities increased by 300 thousand.

Based on the results of the Smooth Brain Operation, or whatever Russia is calling it this week, the number of Russians with disabilities is roughly equal to it's entire population.

How exactly is targeting an enemy’s command center in wartime murder? Or do you believe those P38 pilots who shot down Yammamoto’s Betty were murderers.?

“Murder of Russians excites you so.”

Only when they’re trying to conquer someone else’s country.

Or persistently troll people on Free Republic.

Because he’s bottoms deep into Russian propaganda and can only regurgitate what ChannelOne says.

Thank you. I’ve pointed out many times before that something is very “off” with these individuals. Viscerally anti-Christian, very Satanic. I’m not scared of them, but scared for them, because when Judgment Day comes, they have no idea what eternity awaits them for championing such bloodthirsty evil. I pray they find God.

As for Feds (or assets), who knows ? That these war cheerleaders haven’t been summarily shut down on this website has caused incalculable damage to its reputation.

So you think we are Feds. Check my page. I am here even longer than you and that was a time when insults were far more rare than now and differences could be discussed civilly.

Huh, and one side recently bombed a Cathedral in Odesa. Odd that someone would claim those who support the country that was invaded and bombed including Churches and Cathedrals by a country with a missile un-ironically named SATAN, would be the Satanic ones.

I’m for peace. I’m not for orgasmically cheering on wartime casualties. It’s ghoulish.

Didn’t have you in mind. But yes, it used to be a much nicer place.

I don’t watch Russian tv, and the only individuals spewing propaganda here are you globalist trolls.

When you fellas start embracing the Soros-Zelensky-Pence globalist narrative, you’ve since departed from the Conservative movement (if you ever were one).

Before you go, if you believe both Russia and the Ukraine are on the wrong side, then whom, in your estimation, is on the right side ?

You presume Russia is responsible. Zelensky is murdering his own people to hold onto power, and given that he is no Christian, bombing his own churches and cathedrals and blame it on Russia is something he wouldn’t hesitate to do.

Ukraine has had five presidents since Putin occupied the Kremlin. Zelensky’s genuine political rival, Poroshenko, is alive. Can the same be said of Boris Nemtsov and Yevgeny Prigozhin? Obviously, not.

I pray Putin finds God and stops his genocidal mass murdering spree that has left hundreds of thousands of people dead. Europe has seen nothing like this since WW2. Warmongering Russians need to leave Ukraine and go home to Moscow. Russia must stop its colonialist war of choice.

32 years the Ukraine has had to prove it was a functioning country. It failed.

Since you attack Putin as being “un-Christian”, do you consider Zelensky to be a Godly man ?
