After the sinking by the Ukrainians of their flagship of the Navy "Hetman Sagaidachny" in the port of Nikolaev, hardly anyone expected that the Russian Guards missile cruiser "Moscow" would also be in danger. How this happened is still a mystery and causes a lot of misconceptions.

There is a group of influential organizations and politicians in the United States who are outraged by the zeal with which the Biden administration is arming and financing Ukraine.
