Russian Black Sea Flagship SUNK by Ukraine - US - Russian - Ukraine War - New Cold War 2

Sky News - Live Blog: Reports in yesterdays blog post at 5.16pm the following, " US believes Russia's flagship was hit by two Ukrainian missiles...the US believes the Moskva was hit by two Ukrainian missiles, a senior official said.  "

Lets Get Real:

This news will be celebrated on the Ukraine side, but not so much by President Putin, as reported this morning the Russians have hit the Ukraine capital over night.  The Russian people will be left confused, either their sailors are very inept or the Ukraine sunk their Flaghship that Ukraine built decades ago.  One can see that the Russians will blame the West for this success, they will go on a PR push to say that it was because of Western support for the Ukraine that the Ukraine Army could sink their ship.  Thus the formal warning from the Russians, that events can get out of control.  One would not be shocked if the Russians try to attack the border between the Ukraine and NATO members, as long as they do not hit a NATO Country, just to see the reaction of the West.  

Russia WARNS US and Allies over Military support for Ukraine - Russian - Ukraine War - New Cold War 2

BBC News - Live Blog: Reports in its 8.49am post the following, " Russia formally warns of "unpredictable consequences" if the US and allies keep supplying weapons to Ukraine  "

Lets Get Real:

It's taken Putin a MONTH and the sinking of his Black Sea flagship to work out that Russia cannot win as long as the West increase military support to the KYIV Government.  The sinking of the flagship means that the Russians have to keep their ships some distance from ODESSA, this will not help with an invasion from the sea.  The people of Russia are left with the either the Ship was manned by inept sailors or that Ukraine sank a ship that was built in the Ukraine in the first place.  The US and the UK has to increase military support, the Ukraine military need heavy military kit, such as tanks, jet fighters.  The more the WEST can increase the military support the more chance that the Russians will lose and this could be THREAT to Putin and his regime in Russia.
