NEWLY released satellite photos show the smouldering wreckage of two prized Russian naval assets after a devastating strike from Ukraine.

Yesterday, Kyiv's forces unleashed a barrage of ten cruise missiles along with kamikaze drones in a huge hit that rocked Putin's forces.

New dramatic photos shared on Twitter show the catastrophic damage inflicted on the landing ship "Minsk" and the Kilo-class "Rostov-on-Don" attack submarine.

Prior to the early morning attack, both vessels were allegedly awaiting repairs in a dry dock.

After the crippling strike, satellite imagery showed the crumbling, charred remains of the formerly great landing ship and submarine.

Another photo showed mangled metal from the Minsk as smoke continued to rise from the remains.

I've learned it's not worth bothering with sleazes who make up strawmen.

Strawman? You asked, ”What would we do if Russia placed a bunch of troops and missiles on the border with Mexico?”

. To which I responded: I wouldn’t give a crap about anything in Mexico because we’d flatten them if they attacked us. What strawman do you see, is the presence of Russian troops and missiles not supposed to be interpreted as a threat worthy of response?

Having answered it, I simply turn your question back you. No strawman, the presence of Russian troops and missiles on the border means whatever you intended it to mean. How do you think the US should respond in your scenario? Would you be fearful and demand politicians initiate a Special Military Olympiad in Mexico to ‘de-militarize’ them?

Are you afraid to answer your own hypothetical here?

don’t be so thin-skinned, you’re on a debate forum

have you seen the insults I get pelted with every day? “part of the territory”

if you don’t want to be criticized, don’t do unnecessary fear-mongering ... we all had enough of that during Covid

Reminding everyone to contribute to your local Veterans Home to provide aged veterans with toiletry articles, pajamas, a new shirt, and a Veterans Day party for elderly, infirm vets and their widows being cared for in their final years. While our government sends 24 billion to Ukraine.

Debate is not the same as insulting people who have a different opinion. This isn’t a “Insult Forum”, although both sides of the Ukraine/Russian war seem to forget that.

Preaching truths to fools.   What else can we do?

We rolled NATO right up to Russia's back door to goad them into a response.   You know the truth but think it's just fine and dandy.

The question about Mexico was a Golden Rule challenge.   You were supposed to think about how our government has purposely pushed our NATO proxy influence to Russia's border and ask yourself how we would like that if Russia had done that to us.

But you are a warmonger that wants to destroy rather than honestly negotiate.   Anything for a buck.   We'll all get rich or die trying.

It's the die trying that you need to think about.   Fools play right into Klaus Schwab's plans.

“I would say Russian is backed into the corner”

Except nobody has attacked Russia. Nobody has set one foot on Russian territory, or attempted to. They are one of the two largest nuclear powers in the world. They are in no more danger of being invaded than the USA is.

That’s the situation in reality.

“We rolled NATO right up to Russia’s back door to goad them into a response.”

No, countries right up to Russia’s border begged us to let them into NATO because they are sick of Russia constantly trying to conquer them for the last few centuries.

Maybe if Russia didn’t do that, all their neighbors wouldn’t be trying to align against them.
