This kind of messaging could be used to pre-justify any activities Russia might take against NATO countries.

Late last Wednesday night or early Thursday morning,  two Ukrainian R-360 Neptune anti-ship missiles struck the Moskva, an Atlant-class cruiser that was the flagship of Russia’s Black Sea fleet. The ship eventually sank because of the damage. There are still numerous conflicting reports about exactly what happened: whether Ukraine distracted the Moskva with drones before attacking it with missiles, questions about how many of the crew died and the circumstances of the final sinking, etc. What is crystal clear is that the Moskva is at the bottom of the Black Sea, that the Ukrainians put it there, and therefore that Russia has suffered an embarrassing naval defeat against a country that, in effect, no longer has a fleet. The reaction of some Russian propagandists to the sinking also provides an interesting example of how they are increasingly blaming Russia’s military failures on NATO, rather than on Ukrainian resistance. ...

Please don't thank me. Effusive fawning and obeisance of disciples, mendicants, and foot-kissers embarrass me.

Who cares what they say they have been lying from before the beginning.

The truth is that Russia put their ship in harms way. Russia is responsible nobody else.

The New Megalomaniac is getting carried away - he can't even invade a 'soft target' like Ukraine, yet he wants to argue with NATO?

Truly the man has fallen off the perch....

Since the invasion began, Putin has been making bellicose threats. Today, he is warning of a lightening fast response to what he calls "intervention." Even the most basic knowledge of psychology explains these threats as his fear of losing the war. His dictatorial bluster is not lost on anyone, even his would-be "friendly countries."
