Russia Ukraine war, page-22563

Nothing I read sounds good for Russia. The initial report that only 54 sailors/marines were saved from the Moskva are hardening up. That was out of 500+ souls on board.

I take no pleasure from that. The more Putin is painted into a corner [his own doing], the more likely he is to pull the nuclear trigger. Russia is at risk of losing any respect they may have had, begrudging or otherwise, which makes it vulnerable to counterclaims and ACTIONS to correct past aggressions. [Finland, Japan?] Putin will not tolerate that.

Time to rewatch On The Beach.
