Russians admit Moskva was damaged as the result of the explosion of ammunition.
Technically it's true. Ammunition did explode

Originally posted by Donald Trump It's policy to use conscripts from poor areas as cannon fodder. That's just how things go. No one complains when poor white kids get killed.
Some conscripts have refused to go. Since Russia hasn't declared war, they can say that they aren't allowed to enter Ukrainian territory without getting their passports stamped.
if you look at the actual source it says that conscripts (ie. kids doing mandatory military service) were never meant to be sent, it was some kind of beaurocratic fuckup and they were all recalled.
according to wiki they have a standing army of ~1 million active duty professionals and the size of the force in the Ukraine is only 50-80k at most -

who's making the assessment? a neptune hit should punch a big hole in the hull, not just start a fire on deck. maybe it was intercepted like that one a few weeks ago or didn't score a direct hit but it seems odd given I haven't seen any video or anything -

They never said there was a fire on deck. They just said some ammunition exploded after a fire. Ships boilers use fire. Fire caused the ship to come into range, after which some ammunition exploded.
No one in the Russian MoD said it was the ship's own ammunition that exploded. No one there said where the fire occurred. People just assumed. -

2022-04-14 at 9:16 AM UTCa few Chechen units that fought with ISIS moved to Kiev after Raqqa fell (it was Chechen sniper units that kept the YPG out for so long, until the US bombed it to rubble) - check out the Kiev-2 Battalion. I guess they adopted the style

They caught a yank in Donbass. No word on if he's there with ZOG or just a redditor. -
2022-04-14 at 11:47 AM UTCI've seen reports that there are at least two high ranking members of Academi (rebranded Blackwater) trapped in Mariupol that they absolutely do not want falling into Russian hands, to the extent that the Azov guys they're embedded with may execute them if it comes down to it

No official source said that. You just believe what someone assumed.

They're admitting it sunk now, claiming it was due to a storm. The weather in that region is calm.
The Russians haven't lied like this before in this war that I'm aware of. Guess that means they're super salty over this one. -
2022-04-14 at 10:39 PM UTCThey're bombing Kyiv now, in retaliation for the Moskva and in retaliation for the Ukrainians doing another helicopter attack on a Russian town earlier today.

Postage stamps are overt propaganda, they don't even try to appear otherwise. I've got someone on my social media whovmade his display picture a reference to the snake island lie and I cringed my head off because he didn't delete it, just cycled to another picture. I feel bad for him, he's going through a tough timeThe following users say it would be alright if the author of this post didn't die in a fire! -

Modern war ships aren't like the WW2 battleships, they don't have big magazines or even much in the way of armour. This ship looks like someone just kept adding missiles and torpedos and guns until they ran out of space. Explosive stuff all over the place.
I wonder how many people died. The Russian MoD claimed everyone was evacuated earlier - that doesn't mean anyone survived, it just means they were removed. I doubt even that much. Apparently it had a crew of 510, and as a flagship of a fleet may have had an admiral.
