Russia said on Saturday it would punish Ukraine for using a sea drone to attack a civilian tanker near the Kerch Strait in what it said was a "terrorist act" that threatened the lives of the crew and risked "a large-scale environmental disaster."
Both sides said on Saturday that a Ukrainian sea drone full of explosives had struck a Russian fuel tanker overnight near a bridge linking Russia to annexed Crimea, the second such attack in 24 hours.
Russian Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Maria Zakharova said that Moscow would retaliate.

Greta Thunberg...
The dog that didn’t bark.
“That was the curious incident.”
Green on the outside and red inside.
And fully subsidised by Mother Russia.
And Chairman Xi, to boot...
The winner classifies the targets both sides attacked.
The bigger the win, the more the "War Crimes" the loser committed.
The eternal problem for Russia has always been the lack of warm water ports.
Vast amounts of their trade flow out through Novorossiysk, and if that one port is shut down it will devastate their economy.
Once again Putin miscalculated. Even if he had shut down the Port of Odesa, Ukraine has overland alternatives. it turns out the grain deal was a much better deal for Russia than it was Ukraine.
War, should ALWAYS be the LAST resort. War should be avoided, but not at ALL costs. Some costs are just to high to accept.
So while I do agree with Edwin Starr especially since this was a Vietnam War protest song, but war is good for “one” thing, saving your country and citizens from being conquered.

War, huh, yeah
What is it good for
Absolutely nothing
War, huh, yeah
What is it good for
Absolutely nothing
Say it again, why’all
War, huh, good god
What is it good for
Absolutely nothing, listen to me
Oh, war, I despise
‘Cause it means destruction of innocent lives
War means tears to thousands of mothers eyes
When their sons go to fight
And lose their lives
I said, war, huh good god, why’all
What is it good for
Absolutely nothing say it again
War, whoa, lord
What is it good for
Absolutely nothing, listen to me
(War) it ain’t nothing but a heart-breaker
(War) friend only to the undertaker
Oh, war it’s an enemy to all mankind
The point of war blows my mind
War has caused unrest
Within the younger generation
Induction then destruction
Who wants to die, ah, war-huh, good god why’all
What is it good for
Absolutely nothing
Say it, say it, say it
War, huh
What is it good for
Absolutely nothing listen to me
(War) it ain’t nothing but a heart breaker
(War) it’s got one friend that’s the undertaker
Oh, war, has shattered many a young mans dreams
Made him disabled, bitter and mean
Life is much to short and precious
To spend fighting wars these days
War can’t give life
It can only take it away
Oh, war, huh good god why’all
What is it good for
Absolutely nothing say it again
(War) whoa, lord
What is it good for
Absolutely nothing listen to me
(War) it ain’t nothing but a heart breaker
(War) friend only to the undertaker
Peace, love and understanding
Tell me, is there no place for them today
They say we must fight to keep our freedom
But lord knows there’s got to be a better way
Oh, war, huh good god why’all
What is it good for you tell me
Say it, say it, say it, say it
(War) huh good god why’all
What is it good for
Stand up and shout it nothing
While the Vietnam War was a MISTAKE, that by no means denigrates the HEROES who answered their nations call. Let’s NEVER make THAT mistake again, for our fallen and harmed heroes.
This next video is dedicated to the men and women who fought and served in the Vietnam War.

Russia attacks Ukraine.
Ukraine responds.
Russia: “Teacher, teacher! He hit me back!”
When that spreads, Ukraine and other countries will receive punishment and there will be no change for Russia.
That's retarded, ... time wise.
drunk already?
Makes sense. They see the Ukrainians as non-people.
Yes, Putin and Xi have some things in common.
But Xi is very clever about milking Russia and never mentions Manchuria.
Putin and his oligarchs all have very nice watches.
Over a billion Chinese all have the time.
Herman Kahn doesn't wait for the top. In his Escalation Ladder the use of nukes happens at step 21 on his 44 step ladder.
But I'd say once the nukes are used all bets are off.
Just one side using the other side’s Projection right back at them.
“Enemy merchant ships are a legitimate target during a war. How is this a terrorist act?”
And you will be the first to cry foul when Russia attacks Such Ukraine ships.
Your first reply is character assassination?
Pitiful.
Suicide blonde. Dyed by her own hands.
That’s pretty much all we little people can do.
Sometimes simply is simply the easiest.
