Putin under attack: Explosion 'from British Storm Shadow missile' rips through Russian-held port
Daily Mail ^ | 6/2/2023 | ELENA SALVONI

Posted on 06/02/2023 8:50:14 AM PDT by marcusmaximus

Russia faced a major bombardment today as huge explosions ripped through the occupied port of Berdiansk - with Ukraine believed to be making the most of new missiles gifted by Britain.

Footage shows the moment facilities at the port are hit with a suspected Storm Shadow missile, Britain's most potent non-nuclear missile which can strike targets from a range of 150 miles.

A huge plume of smoke was seen rising from a location in the port area on the Sea of Azov, in the Russian-occupied Zaporizhzhia region.

Russian state media outlet RT said there had been 'casualties and destruction' from the strike, the exact target of which was not immediately clear.

Russian-installed official Vladimir Rogov said there had been nine people reported injured. Berdiansk was first hit on Saturday in Storm Shadow missile strikes.

Berdiansk is in occupied Ukraine, although the Europeans seem less concerned than the US about hitting targets inside Russia at the moment.

If nuclear war is such a big threat, maybe Russia should not have started a major land war in Europe.

Bing AI says>>>

According to Investopedia1, a dead cat bounce is a price pattern used by technical analysts. It is considered a continuation pattern, where at first the bounce may appear to be a reversal of the prevailing trend, but it is quickly followed by a continuation of the downward price move. It becomes a dead cat bounce (and not a reversal) after the price drops below its prior low.

The metaphor is based on the notion that even a dead cat will bounce if it falls far enough and fast enough2. It is often used to describe a temporary recovery in share prices after a substantial fall, caused by speculators buying in order to cover their positions2.

In this context, saying that Russia is the dead cat bounce of the Soviet Union implies that Russia is trying to revive its former glory and power after the collapse of the Soviet Union, but that this attempt is doomed to fail and will be followed by a further decline. It suggests that Russia’s current actions are not indicative of a genuine reversal of its fortunes, but rather a brief and insignificant rally that will soon fade away.

You’ve done the “Reagan would support whatever I say” memes.

How about some “God demands we have a war with Russia!” memes?

Or has Langley not approved those yet?

It’s these endless neocon wars that are destroying America with an incredible debt burden not Putin’s geopolitical activities. It’s neocons like you who are the danger to America’s financial health and stability.

Is it just me, or does “ a major bombardment” to describe one missile seem like an exaggeration?
