For all the substantial outside help Ukraine is getting, it is actually BEYOND delicious that the single biggest smoked and smote target, the Moskva, was done in by a Ukrainian armament.

(9,035 posts)did you catch Beau's latest vid, where he talks about Putin purging the "Fifth Service"? Fascinating rumor. Putin's Fifth Service, which he created in the years after the breakup of the Soviet Union, told Putin and the Kremlin that there were pro-Russian cells inside Ukraine which would help with the takeover of Ukraine if and when Russia invaded. In fact, the heads and agents of the Fifth Service pocketed all the money intended for the pro-Russian cells. So there were no cells. But Putin thought there were. Brought down by his own kleptocracy? It explains a lot.
