Forbes, the NYT, Reuters & others reporting that the Russian crew on their Flag ship has abandoned ship. The Neptunes are mobile units of a Russian earlier design. The Neptunes apparently came from the Odessa area to strike the Moskva twice with the NYT citing a Ukrainian Commander in Odessa, Maxim Marchenko.
I always found this line of reasoning underreported:
''Putin had insisted on “demilitarization” of the entire country and “denazification” of the regime, (even through President Zelenskyy is a Jew, there are no Nazi parties in the government, and it is the Russians who have destroyed monuments to the Holocaust in Ukraine.)"
The absurdity and anti-logic in the Russian messaging is synecdoche for their whole invasion.

Was it Voltaire who said, and I’m paraphrasing, those who can get you to believe absurdities can get you to commit atrocities?
Hmm, sounds like something Goebbels might have said too... thought I hate to put [him] in the same sentence as Voltaire!
