*Updated: "The Pentagon also confirmed Ukrainian reports that their forces on
Thursday destroyed a Russian warship that was docked in Berdyansk, in
southeastern Ukraine." (NYT)
For the second straight day there has been a lull in the war. At least in the reporting. Yesterday the big news on action news was the destruction of a Russian transport ship in the Ukrainian harbor Berdyansk and two others fleeing, one aflame. All Western media are being ever so cautious in attributing it to Ukrainian action.
Lol. You don't have to be a military expert of a professional pencil to determine that the main ship has been destroyed, whatever the cause. Maybe it was carrying fireworks? Maybe it was a Kenyan ship? X-perts aren't "sure." Lol.
The lull or pause or stall is significant, it seems to me. Time, the x-perts lately tell us, is on Ukraine's side. If Russia could carry on it would carry on; they're not so they can't. That's the syllogism and it seems to me compelling. They've lost 10% or more of their fighting capacity; throughout the month-long war they've not been able to resupply their remaining troops, who are down to two days rations now; Putin has placed his intelligence chief and his deputy under house arrest; Lavrov is sad; Ukraine has counterattacked; Russian forces, naval and army, obviously are sitting ducks for Ukrainian forces reinforced with Western whiz-bang gadgetry. Biochem then? Hmm.
All in all it seems Rooski not doing too goot. lol.
