The missile strike that killed a top Russian admiral is proof that Ukraine is mastering the art of 21st century warfare

This is proof that Ukraine – with the help of the West – is mastering the art of 21st century warfare.

The Sevastopol missile strike that killed Admiral Viktor Sokolov along with 34 of his officers on Saturday shows that modern military operations depend on combining accurate intelligence and rapid decision-making with advanced machinery.

The result is a humiliating blow to Russian morale. While the Kremlin-controlled media has so far remained largely silent about the raid, rage-filled posts on social media complain of Moscow's inept handling of its 'special military operation'.

Many point out that the losses of the fleet, supposedly one of the jewels of the Russian military, are mounting alarmingly. Not only was its flagship, the Moskva, sunk in April last year, but a number of other major vessels including two warships and a modern submarine were destroyed last week in dry dock in Sevastopol.

But what does this missile attack mean? The immediate effect on the Black Sea Fleet will be operational paralysis until new officers assume command.

Soon a Ukrainian Missile will take out the Kremlin and slay evil Putin in his own office. Russia can not match that sort of strike—if they could, they would have leveled Kiev months ago. They are just inept. The fact that Russia beat Nazi Germany tells us a lot—the Nazis were not that good—if they let Stalin defeat them. A nation of drunks. Can’t do anything but fake stuff. I bet the A-bombs they set off were all faked—Like North Korea’s. If we go to war US Troops will be in Moscow in a month—even in the winter. The Ukraine-American forces would take Russia apart in a real battle. If the Russians would even show up sober. The War is almost done—they world is seeing the TRUTH. Russia is a big fat Zero. Just look at all the YouTube videos that prove Ukraine is winning big—driving the Orks to the sea! Wait for the American Abrams Tanks, with American Crews—Russians don’t have a chance. China will turn on them and invade Siberia and Iran will make peace with Biden. The western world is saved. A 90 foot tall statue should be raised in Poland to President Zelenskyy—he has saved Europe. The war is almost done—now send hundreds of Billions to rebuild all of Greater Ukraine. Mr. Z now needs to take back that section of Poland that rightfully belongs to Ukraine once they are elected to head NATO. Once rebuilt Ukraine will be the dominant power in all Europe to rival weak livered Germans and weak Frenchmen. Glory for a thousand years of Hero Ukraine! If only Mr. Z. was president of the USA?

I’m sure they have fired more than 100 missiles at the city. 100 missiles cannot flatten a major city even if they reach it.
It appears most of the missiles are intercepted and likewise they don’t want to fly bombers in there because they are likely to lose many of them to the anti-missile defenses.

Still don’t care. We have no business supporting Ukraine at the expense of our own citizens.

Our citizens now with good jobs supplying Europe with American energy would certainly disagree there. We could stop supporting Ukraine against the latest Kremlin orchestrated genocide of Ukrainians and help Make Russia Great Again. Decisions, decisions.
