With the extreme weaponization of the US dollar the last 10 years, I doubt US position will remain tenable, particularly if Russia achieves its political objectives in this war.
NATO/Anglo bots keep repeating the mantra that "x is embarrassing for Russia" as if they're playing some geopolitical war of embarrassment.
No, precisely the opposite.
It is precisely because these comprador analysts were representing the interest of the Anglo-USA maritime global order, that they are seeing the worrying future sight of a capitulated Ukraine in the near future reconciling with Russia and getting lots of Chinese investments to rebuild, this all contribute to the Belt and Road initiative in strengthening that Eurasian overland trade network/belt.
Therefore they will try to form the rhetoric that Ukraine should destroy their relations (撕破脸) with China, which actually will only delay that post-war rebuild/reconciliation process. But for them, one day's delay for B&R is one more day to exist for the Anglo-American Maritime global order before total demise (能撑一天是一天).
Could be an ammunition mishandling. Some pictures on twitter saying that a second ship was hit, but it's hard to say whether it was because of
What it can't be is a ballistic missile strike. There's no way a ballistic missile from hundreds of miles away is going to pinpoint a single ship. Maybe if you fired a barrage of them one may get lucky. It would be like taking out a tank if you fired an RPG into the air randomly. And as you say, the video doesn't line up with it being a ballistic missile.
This is either an accident or an anti-ship missile. Given its a time of war, my assumption would be on enemy action.
What's embarrassing are their numerous and inexplicable operational failures in the face of a clearly weaker enemy. That's why they've become a laughingstock in the West. They opened the first day of the war with fewer than 100 guided missile strikes. Didn't even really touch anything in the core Ukrainian military. China should take note that if things go south with Taiwan, the first day of the war needs at least 1,000 cruise and ballistic missile strikes. No amateur hour, no BS. Just go in with overwhelming force.
I think it comes down to Putin's "special military operation". His plan seems to be to pin down the Ukrainian army into a stalemate while eliminating Nazi groups and other extremists. At the same time he's doing that NATO are pouring in billions of military aid into Ukraine. Some of it will do damage like this.
There's no such thing as "war lite". Either commit fully to war and destroy the enemy until they beg for mercy or don't bother and stick to geopolitical games. You will be called a war criminal by the hypocritical Anglos regardless. Hopefully this will wake him up and he'll listen to what everyone around him is saying at this point.
I did not post any direct statement from the Ukrainians. In what respect is it propaganda? Seems very clear that a Russian ship has been destroyed.
The front doors are open to flood the fire ? If it's from the blast, that ship is gone.
He has to keep reminding us. It's like dealing with sports fans who support losing teams - they keep droning on and on about that one game their crappy team won while you've lost count of the number of games your team won. It's just insufferable.
Not a big deal? The Japanese import most of the LNG from Sakhalin. This is like 9% of Japanese LNG imports. While I am sure the market could basically swap Russian LNG sales from Japan to China, and that whoever sells to China could then sell to Japan, this isn't something trivial to do. It will be much easier for Japan to switch Russian energy imports than Europe. But I wouldn't say it is not a big deal.
