Loose lips?
Hmmm - Maybe that’s why Putin put his entire fleet to sea ...
intentionally loose lips. anything to get russia to do something (sinking armaments intended for a war zone) to justify open intervention.
f-16s seem to be going in the next few weeks. they may take off.land from romania/poland and perform missions against russian assets in ukraine. those airfields are thus targets as well by any non-pretzel rules of engagement. this might be part of the push for them now.
this is bait, in part. low-odds they take the ship (maybe higher for the fighters), but there it is.
Seriously. We’re neck deep in a war with no sign that the administration has any plan to facilitate its end as the Ukrainian people continue to suffer. They play with fire daily and it doesn’t seem to worry them a bit. Are the Russians going to attack this fleet? Almost certainly not. But is it prudent to advertise its sailing? No, it’s madness, lacking any hint of prudence
