If You Have Time To Read Only One Article Today, This Would Be It -- If You Like Russian Submarine Stories -- December 27, 2019

Is there a future for Russian aircraft carriers? Zerohedge.
  • some good writing
  • some typos, for example:
    • the only shipyard in the USSR which could built (sic) such a huge ship
    • so why built (sic) such an expensive target,
  • the article begins, humorously enough:

    • Those following the news from Russia have probably heard that Russia’s only aircraft carrier, the Admiral Kuznetsov (official name: Admiral of the Fleet of the Soviet Union Kuznetsov), was put into dry dock for major repairs and retrofits. Things did not go well. 
       
      First, the dry dock sank (it was Russia’s biggest) and then a huge crane came crashing down on the deck. 
       
      And just to make it even worse, a fire broke out on the ship killing 2 and injuring more. With each setback, many observers questioned the wisdom of pouring huge sums of money into additional repairs when just the scheduled ones would cost a lot of money and take a lot of time.

  • article originally posted here
  • about The Saker here; seems to fit to what zerohedge would subscribe;
  • the views with regard to the necessity of aircraft carriers are wrong, naive; 
One wonders if the writer of the blog dislikes the US so much, and loves Russia so much, why did the writer move to the US after having his/her life ruined elsewhere?
