Ammunition will explode if subjected to a missile strike. If you’re the Russian Navy a simple ammo explosion sounds better to the world than missile damage. Just sayin’.

Actually, it sounds worse. In denying a Ukrainian combat strike, the Russian Navy is telling the world, “Our crews are poorly trained at the must fundamental aspects of safe ordnance handling and stowage that occasionally we blow up our own warships.”

They should really stick to the missile strike.

I don’t know about that.

There are tons of Israelis who made aliyah from both Ukraine and Russia.

Both groups integrated well, are good Israeli citizens, good soldiers, smart, and productive. Both were essential in helping Israel free itself from stupidly-self-imposed socialism. Their politics would fit right here on the same parts of Freerepublic.

So I don’t see this as much of a cultural or racial issue than you apparently do. I see Ukraine is horribly corrupt but on the right path to being another Poland (and a conservative bastion in the EU).

Russia has never experienced freedom or democracy or honest capitalism, ever, in its history. It’s not on any great path except self annihilation. It will eventually be invaded by China and made into a satellite state.

“I’d imagine there is if they are being forthright about there
being a real problem.”

I believe that ship carries over 300,000lbs of ordnance, plus a bunch of oil/fuel.

If it blows up it’ll make a very big bang.

And it likely carries tactical nukes. Which nobody wants to see on the bottom of the Black Sea.

Nobody.

“Russia says there’s a major problem. I’d imagine there is if they are being forthright about there being a real problem.”

It would be very difficult to hide the loss of a major ship. One can’t say it’s on a permanent cruise with no ports of call, and be believed after a year or so.

You pro Biden war people willing to fight to the last corrupt Ukrainian crack me up. Go Biden. Go Ukrainian Go Obama. Keep the $ and hide the truth. Arab spring in Ukrainian existence in 2014.

Do you even know the corruption you cheer on. Do you understand the Biden’s would love for them all to die in order to cover their billion dollar corruption? Do you know it’s Obama, Clinton global foundation and on the crumbs are Joe and Hunter on their knees stealing via BS

Yeah we hate Russia and love Ukraine (aka Obama, Clinton and some Biteme). I guess you cheered the Libyan destruction also.

Why is most of FR blind to the corruption and interconnected DS? Not just you. But generally.

Sad. My elderly father loves this BS. I asked him if the MSN was pushing this why was he falling for it. I think he just woke up but not on FR. Cheerleaders are rha rha rha …. I don’t blame you but if the MSN said shit stinks I would have to smell it and think long and hard about it.

“pro Biden war people willing to fight to the last corrupt Ukrainian crack me up”

Weare not fighting, the Ukrainian people are choosing to fight rather than accept “liberation”

So take your whine to them.

No. People need to wake up. See the reality. But some brain killing salve is easy to obtain.
