as a pretext for escalating the war, and that was already planned before the Moskva got hit. So this all might have been happening anyway.

Remember when they shot up some stuff in Belarus? They did it to themselves. And, since they think that way, they are always saying that Ukraine killed themselves, blew up their own buildings...Ukraine did not do this stuff to themselves. But, we know for sure that Russia did. So, they might have done this stuff to themselves to blame Ukraine.

They might be doing all this, and screaming about it, in order to control their own people. Now, they are crying and whining about their flagship. Poor seamanship, they should have been zigzagging around instead of parked. Maybe they shouldn't have shelled Odesa, although we don't know for sure where those shells came from. Maybe they were missiles.

The only audio on the webcams came from Kharkiv and there was heavy shelling there for about 2 hours. It appeared to be explosions in other areas but no sound.
