The Moscow Times ^

Posted on 03/05/2024 8:00:24 AM PST by USA-FRANCE

Ukraine’s GUR military intelligence claimed Tuesday that it destroyed a Russian patrol ship off the coast of annexed Crimea.

The GUR said the Russian patrol ship Sergei Kotov “underwent damage to the stern, starboard and port sides” when it was attacked by seaborne drones overnight near the Kerch Strait.

"As for the crew, the details are being clarified. There are dead and wounded. But it is likely that some of the crew managed to evacuate," military intelligence spokesman Andriy Yusov told journalists.

Yet another Kaboom... The Kremlin is losing a major vessel every week now.

And the Russian AWAKS-equivalent planes are grounded.

Russia has lost air and sea superiority.

But Russian meat-waves on land, where they lose 8 to 1 soldiers, could still be dangerous.

You sound like Josef Goebbels circa April, 1945.

Your Hopium remains I see. Now that the brains of the 2014 Maidan overthrow and start of this war is departing, look who is replacing her…

“ Nuland will be replaced temporarily as under secretary by another career diplomat, John Bass, a former ambassador to Afghanistan who oversaw the U.S. withdrawal from the country.” US News…”

….your corrupted little comedian may be getting ready to be “ Afghanistanned”, by the senile old man in the White House….a very fitting end.

You’re in denial. Russia has a lot of ships on the bottom of the Black Sea and a lot of sailors, too.

Like it or not that’s the way it is.

--- "like Josef Goebbels"

The Moscow Times is not in Russia. It is in Amsterdam. Details:

"30 years independent news from Russia" - so it states...

From the Netherlands. As it says without saying it is Dutch, "The Moscow Times has been Russia’s leading independent English-language media outlet since 1992, publishing daily stories about politics, society, economy and culture. "

So, "Russia’s leading independent English-language media" is Dutch.

The world of media and messaging is quite complex, and looking behind the scenes can be informative.

That may be true but that does not change the fact that Ukraine/NATO/The Globalists/Military industrial Complex, has lost.

You are the one in denial.

If true, that’s cool.

More dead Russians and more destroyed Russian military equipment.

And lastly, maybe some disappointment among the pro-Putin contingent here on Free republic.

Maybe, maybe not. "Damage" does NOT equal "Destroyed", and I couldn't find anywhere in the article where it said the thing actually went down. Could be their Laffey for all we know.

“It seems that Putin will only have Nukes remaining in his arsenal.”

Russia is making over 50,000 bomber drones a month. Russia has over 290 warships by the way. They still a lot of conventional ways to kill Ukrainian men and boys. And sure they are losing a lot young men too. It is sad all the death and destruction our proxy war is causing, just so the military industrial complex gets their blood money.

You certainly don’t know or understand history or have any grasp of what’s going on today.

D-Day (Bruce McGill): “War’s over, man. Wormer dropped the big one

Bluto: What? Over? Did you say ‘over’? Nothing is over until we decide it is! Was it over when the Germans bombed Pearl Harbor? Hell no!...

It ain’t over now, ‘cause when the goin’ gets tough, the tough get goin’. Who’s with me? Let’s go! Come on!...(He ran to the front door but no one followed him)

Bluto (returning): What the f—k happened to the Delta I used to know? Where’s the spirit? Where’s the guts, huh? This could be the greatest night of our lives, but you’re gonna let it be the worst. ‘Ooh, we’re afraid to go with you, Bluto, we might get in trouble.’ (shouting) Well, just kiss my ass from now on! Not me! I’m not gonna take this. Wormer, he’s a dead man! Marmalard, dead! Niedermeyer...

Otter (Tim Matheson): Dead! Bluto’s right. Psychotic, but absolutely right. We gotta take these bastards. Now, we could fight ‘em with conventional weapons. That could take years and cost millions of lives. No, in this case, I think we have to go all out. I think this situation absolutely requires a really futile and stupid gesture be done on somebody’s part.

We’re just the guys to do it...LET’S DO IT!
