Putin claims he will strengthen the Russian navy. I wish! Instead the fleet will be converted to cannon fodder infantry to be thrown into the Ukraine meat grinder.
Russian President Vladimir Putin on Sunday announced the restructuring and further armament of the navy during the conclusion of a major naval exercise.
By the end of the year, two marine infantry brigades will be converted into divisions, with three more to follow shortly, Putin said.
That's not a navy move. God, I wish Russia would waste money on that sort of red sports car. What Putin ordered is a ground force move at his navy's expense.
I wonder how many in the Russian navy who thought they were safe from dying in the war will be shifted to those new divisions? The crew of the battleship Potemkin was unavailable for comment.
