RETHINKING - APRIL 14, 2022 - RUSSIAN FLAGSHIP SINKING


 

The Wall Street Journal posted an interesting story about Russia's Black Sea Flagship that the Ukrainians attacked. 

 

The story titled “Russia’s Black Sea Flagship Abandoned, Damaged..."  starts “ Kyiv, Ukraine—The flagship of Russia’s Black Sea Fleet, the missile cruiser Moskva, was seriously damaged and abandoned by its crew after its ammunition blew up, Russia’s Defense Ministry said. A Ukrainian military spokesman said the ship had been hit by cruise missiles, causing it to capsize and start to sink.”

 

Some members of the WSJ were surprised about this incident and others said that nobody can believe the Ukrainian troops have the courage to attack and sink a Russian warship.

 

This was my comment in the WSJ Blog section of the story: “Ukrainians are defending their land, while the Russian soldiers don't know what they are doing in a neighboring country.”

 

In wars where a country is defending itself from an enemy invasion, the defenders frequently make quasi-impossible actions.

 

My opinion was approved by other readers who applauded my comment with LIKED.
