The USS Kearsage, with a deep well deck and a reported mission of practicing anti-mining operations in the Baltic in the preceding months, was sitting parked above the blast site up until about 48 hours before the blast. (I looked up the latter point myself on a marine traffic website shortly after the explosion after a twitter account mentioned it.) Just saying.
got to be only 2-3 countries in the world that could pull this off and ukraine ain’t in the top 50 of those. they really think we are that stupid.
