As Ukraine invades the Kursk Oblast region of Russia, remember the Kursk submarine disaster that happened 24 years ago almost to the day as the Kursk invasion. Back in August 12 2000, the Russian navy managed to destroy and sink the 'unsinkable' nuclear-powered Kursk when one it's own torpedoes blew-up the vessel. The Russian navy killed 118 of it's sailors in this blunder.

Putin's role in the disaster
While the rescue crews repeatedly failed to attach to the rescue trunk and to contact potential survivors aboard the submarine, President Putin was shown on TV enjoying himself on a summer holiday at a villa on the Black Sea. His seeming indifference outraged the families of the Kursk sailors and many other Russians. Amelia Gentleman in The Guardian wrote:
For President Vladimir Putin, the Kursk crisis was not merely a human tragedy, it was a personal PR catastrophe. Twenty-four hours after the submarine's disappearance, as Russian naval officials made bleak calculations about the chances of the 118 men on board, Putin was filmed enjoying himself, shirtsleeves rolled up, hosting a barbecue at his holiday villa on the Black Sea.
Putin eventually met with families of the dead sailors but this had to be completely covered-up by Russian media including the forced sedation of one of the mothers at the meeting. It's hard to read this story without realising Putin is a complete f_ckw1t.
Opposition Leader Dutton Is Antisemitic
Dutton should not rely on Sky News for his facts because Wikipedia is accurate and Sky is garbage.
the facts are here Peter |
'About 1,200 Israelis were killed and 250 taken hostage when Hamas launched its 7 October attack and almost 40,000 Palestinians have been killed in Israel's counteroffensive in Gaza.' Peter Dutton is only sympathetic to the Israeli side of this conflict and they have taken-over almost all of somebody else's country. The Israeli settlers caused this conflict because they are voracious about other people's land.
