What. Daily mass shootings are a consequence of gun-loving Western culture.
Like I said, cons and pros.
Russia is #1 in homicide in Europe.
Correct. If Russia is contrasted against European murder rates, it's close to topping the list per capita - though it's lower than Ukraine's rate, which has steadily increased since Maidan.
However, Russia's murder rate has declined every year for the last 2 decades.
2022 will be a big spike in the murder rate because of all the “Russians” the Russians are killing in Ukraine. Also, since it’s a “special operation” not a war, those are murders of civilians.
Once Ukraine gets the good weapons from NATO and starts kickin butt again, folks will tune back in big time.
Uhhh. 80% of the Ukrainian military has been neutralized (dead, maimed, captured, AWOL). Who will use these weapons? New conscripts that don't know how to dig a foxhole and who can't march more than 5 miles without losing all the skin on their feet? BASIC training is 12 weeks. Then you can get into more specialized training on advanced weapons. Until then, these weapons will be bombed by Russia before being used, end up abandoned as the forced new conscripts go AWOL or are killed, or end up sold on the black market to end up who knows where.
This war is great for the MIC and OPEC but a complete disaster for Europeans and Americans. This winter is going to be very bad.
Article states at time the Moskva was sunk, a US military plane flying above and was tracking it. The plane was launched from a base in Italy and had turned its transponder off.
Also mentions a Norwegian stealth anti ship missile being used, which may have been provided by Poland.
if correct, the Moskva was sunk in a seek and destroy mission involving 4 NATO countries.
On April 14, 2022, the Russian guided-missile cruiser Moskva was hit by a missile or missiles, caught fire, was partially evacuated, put under tow and then sunk as fire on the ship raged …
Still on the topic of Black Sea missile attacks against Ships, a Russian-crewed Moldavan tanker laden with Diesel fuel has been struck by a missile for the second time risking an “eco-disaster”.
Ukraine claims that Russia attacked the ship both times, which seems improbable.
A Russian missile has hit a tanker that has been drifting in the Black Sea for over four months and had been carrying diesel, the Interfax-Ukraine news agency reported on Thursday, citing Ukraine's military which called the s...
