"It's horrible here." On the Russian FLAGSHIP? I can't imagine the conditions on one of their submarines.

Sadly, she doesn’t realize that the explosions and fires burn so hot on these ships that many of the sailors were vaporized. She thinks it’s like the movies when explosions just knock someone over. There is nothing to bury or find.

Mothers of “Kursk”. Mothers of “Moskva”.

Widows of this cursed land.

[Koshelev]

Bet, she is not interested in politics

Her son was killed in combat, that's what happens when your country starts a war. The same can't be said about the Ukrainian prisoner of war, who was beheaded by Russian invaders. I feel sorry for him and his family.

They got what they asked for. When they started firing on cities they should've known.

[Harloe]

It’s really interesting, a few days before the Moskava was sunk an inspection was done on the ship where they realized pretty much none of the ships defences were working properly. The ship was just a target waiting to be sunk

Finally, a Ruzzian mother who acts like a Mother instead of being glad to get a used Lada as compensation.

She better stay away from open windows

If you saw the explosion on that ship when it was hit, it was about three times the cross section of the ship. My guess is that he was probably blown into about a hundred pieces, if he was anywhere near that. And those idiots lined up in clean suits without a scratch, as she said, uh huh, sure, makes perfect sense.

[andybenderowski]

Well, that’s what you get for firing rockets into apartment buildings.Karma is coming for you, comrades orcs.

[crownlands]

It isn't 'geopolitics', it's the medievals in continuation, the powerstruggle of the unhinged, the mentals, the ignorants and the very disturbed deviants, there's a lot of the last sort in crimelin

[ДимаНик-дц]

"Она утонула" (с)
Вот ведь как бывает, если ты убиваешь, то в ответ убивают тебя.

[FutureChaosTV]

Well, her son is not on the moon.
That's for sure.
He is definitely dead.

[Lunarbell]

Would be more of a shame if he wasn’t contributing to a barbaric invation sought to inflict pain on the innocent. Take the fight to your homeland you cowards.

[Jackc]

So she thinks maybe he's been floating around the Black Sea on a life preserver for the last year?

[leonkenedy]

What a shame it was just the moskva and not the whole Black Sea fleet, lets hope for more good news from Ukraine.

[occamraiser]

It is sad to see mothers refusing to accept that their sons are dead. It happens in every war, 'missing' is a hope to cling to at these times.

[ieism]

Maybe he's not dead, but on a long term special military deep dive operation.😂
