1. So, corridor is not as reliable anymore?

2. A Turkish operated, Belize flagged ship, in Romanian EEZ waters carrying grain for Egypt. This seems like a pretty big deal.

3. How pathetic that Russia couldn’t even sink a civilian ship with their antiship missiles.

4. Seems like a big deal but it’s gonna be another series of condemnation without any actual response

5. That doesn’t look like much damage for a missile coming in at Mach 4 with a big ass warhead. How do they know it was a Ch-22?

6. Waging war on unarmed non-combatants working as merchant seamen is despicable!

7. I personally believe Russia is going to do everything in its power to drag NATO into war now. After the meetings and comments of releasing prior demands for Ukraine to not use Western weapons on Russian territory Russia is saying game on.

   I say let Ukraine use Western weapons how it sees fit, any time and anywhere it wants as long as rules of war are followed. Fuckin Bring it Putin. Let the Pain commence.

8. Turkey should probably rethink its stand on Russia.

9. Kh-22 Mach 4.5 with 1000kg RDX warhead should have been pretty spicy. On the other hand a bulk grain carrier is basically a giant sandbag.

10. Maybe time for a no fly zone over the Black Sea.

11. We went into Iraq with a lot less provocation

12. So how come Russian ships carrying ballistic missiles from Iran aren’t being hit?

13. My money is on this being Russia trying to communicate that they are serious about being at war with NATO if we allow Ukraine to use US missiles to strike their territory.

    Now, should we take that threat seriously? Maybe. Should we let Ukraine do it anyway? Yes.
