Nah.
That thing is up in Murmansk (cold northern port)
The Orcs are primitive. It was probably some fool with a fire trying to stay warm.

Meanwhile in Ukraine...

What a POS.

Video describes non stop problems and
how they have to close off most of the toilets in the winter. Sounds like a soviet solution to poorly built piping and boilers.

I still don't understand how everyday Americans are picking sides on this conflict.

We ALL KNOW how truthful the mainstream media is on issues.

Unless someone has first hand knowledge, I'm OK with just sitting by the sidelines.

I trust our government to give us the straight scoop as much as I trust a military recruiter or a used car salesman.

Anyway, those of us who have served on capital naval vessels that were in refit in a government shipyard know that work is done by the lowest bidder. And that fires happen, a lot because of welding. That's why the lowest enlisted are used as fire watch.

That was the 2019 fire, not to be confused with the fires before 2019, or the newest fire. Floating dumpster fire.

I can not speak for others
I voluntarily served with NATO for 3 years in Germany with Russian forces only 560 KM away
I'm still against Russian expansion into Europe

Didn't check date. That was one of the first to come up in a search.

Ok with NATO/US expansion though? who is the one expanding?

what NATO/US expansion in Europe? Sweden and Finland ASKED TO JOIN NATO after Russia's aggression in Ukraine
this is a political debate not appropriate for this forum

not a inch further, Russia was told after the re unification of Germany. the USA has not been the good guy for a long time.
That's all I have to say.
