Putin’s cursed flagship ‘will never sail again’ as rustbucket Admiral Kuznetsov’s crew sent to Ukraine as cannon fodder
Sun UK ^ | 9/24/2024 | James Halpin Will Stewart

VLADIMIR Putin's cursed naval flagship is unlikely to ever sail again after he sent its crew to fight in the war in Ukraine.

The Admiral Kuznetsov is the tyrant's only aircraft carrier and has not been in service for eight years.

Desperate Vlad has now designated some of the rustbucket's 1,500 crew members as cannon fodder for his brutal invasion.

The seamen have formed a land-based "frigate" battalion within Russia's 1st Guards Tank Army, according to OSINT investigator Moklasen.

Some of them have already gone missing or died, Forbes reported.

Putin had wanted the 305-metre-long Soviet-era warship to play a role in the war but the accident-prone vessel with up to 2,000 crew will sink if it sails again.

Russia's wartime manufacturing capabilities vastly exceed ours and NATO's combined.

The war in Ukraine has been one between NATO and Russia and Russia is winning.

Pssst....The side winning is the one gaining territory. Duh!

Zeepers aren't the sharpest tools in the shed.

At the end of the day it comes down to nukes. I would not want to bet that 10% of their nukes aren't capable, and that's more than enough to send us back to horse and buggy days.

You are essentially surrendering before even the first nuke flies. According to your logic, Putin can do anything he wants, demand anything he wants, because the alternative will always be - NUKES!

WTF do you know about what I have been saying when you have been on FR for Angola of 6 month noob?

POGO163 might have been a "lurker" for years before officially joining, reading your posts, but not posting himself. If not, perhaps he simply took a look at your posting history.

You thus evince a great lack of imagination.

And Angola is supposedly lovely this time of year.

😆 Russia has a GDP of $2 trillion, slightly more than the state of Texas. The US has a GDP of $28 trillion. Russia does not have the capacity to compete with us militarily on any level except nuclear and Putin isn’t going there because he’s not suicidal.

Of course Russia will prevail against the Ukraine even with a NATO assist. The Ukraine was never militarily competitive with anybody. But its not been a cakewalk. Putin will be very relieved when Trump tells Zelensky its over. The Russian people are getting sick of it.

Problem there is that nukes are primarily area-denial weapons, in a tactical or local environment.

Howya going to free the oppressed Russian minority with nukes, and then populate the scorched polluted ground with your own people?

Well, nukes may also be, “satisfy my citizens’ desire for blood” weapons. Or “keep my regime in power” weapons.

But we know that has been the plan all along.   Remember the Georgia Guidestones inscriptions from 44 years ago:

Maintain humanity under 500,000,000 in perpetual balance with nature.
Guide reproduction wisely – improving fitness and diversity.
Unite humanity with a living new language.
Rule passion – faith – tradition – and all things with tempered reason... etc.
With 8 billion people on the Earth the Neocons need to kill 7.5 billion people to make their Globalist Goals.

Have nukes will travel.   Wire Washington DC.

Russia is eighth in the world in GDP has more natural resources, by far, than any country in the world.

That being said, that has nothing to do with the fact the Russia is producing far more ammo and missiles than we and NATO are COMBINED. That would be a huge problem if we got into a war with the Russians.

That and the fact, the Biden regime was stupid enough to push for the proxy war and Ukraine and pushed Russia into an alliance with China.

WW III would be NATO vs. Russia, China and their allies. And, our chances would be very poor, especially given how much DEI and left-wing mandates have diminished our recruiting capability.

Ukraine had that second largest army in Europe before this war began and up to 600,000 troops, all backed by NATO money, weapons, intelligence and planning. The Ukrainians had been dug into fortified positions for almost a decade.

No, the Ukrainian army wasn't second-rate army like Iraq or Afghanistan's.

Russia is about #11 in the world. The only thing they have to sell is gas, wheat and some military hardware. The last time they produced a new item for manufacture was like 1973. So no they are not a threat to the United States.

Just because they have natural resources doesn’t mean they are competitively utilizing them except for gas. What armaments they are turning out are not superior to our technology. Our stuff doesn’t blow up on the test launch. Their navy could not stand up against us for 48 hours.

Reagan proved that Russia cannot compete with us without going broke. Trump is getting ready to defang China the same way.
