The sinking the Moscow apparently upset a murdering Nazi war ciminal like Putin quite a bit. And, it's a good thing a brilliant "naval strategist like you wasn't in charge of leaving the Japanese to starve on militarily worthless islands bypassing them by "island hopping" in WWII... Snake Island is now isolated and militarily of dubious importance, and functions now more as a self supervised slowly starving POW camp, which can not be supplied.

It won't happen, and Russia's bluff wil be called.
Or, do you actually belive Putin's delusional threats, given the incompetence and demostrated failures of the Russian Navy?
I also heard that Vladimir thought he had a great peter....
No Bob2, Putin thinks he is Peter the Great.....
Great Peter, Peter the Great? Does it matter which delusion he's having?
So, what is the real difference between a delusional impotent old dictator trying to get hard murdering people like a Nazi dictator to restore the Soviet Union and an impotent old delusional dictator fantasizing about being an 18th Century German Csar dressed in ermine who is restoring 18th Century Russia...?
Be very scared of the delusional madman Putin, right?

I think the issue of sea access will soon be addressed. Russia needs this channel to export, too.
Meanwhile, I love a lot of the Ukraine rail stuff on-line. Like the US in the midwest in the fifties with a mix of lots of passenger a lots of grain trains...
