 What about Russian answer to the mass shooting in that concert hall? 
 That’s b rated Hollywood stuff don’t you think? Well below Russias game. They have something much more terrifying to the US… BRICS.
GPS spoofing a ship into a bridge from on-site is teenage cyber gang level. Russias game is more like starting a global exit run on the U.S. dollar and collapsing 50% of the U.S. fertilizer supply the same year. 
 Why not both tho 
 Because it’s Russia and not a movie or video game. 
And besides if Russia had done it, it would be all over every news channel as a reason to send troops and money to Ukraines 
 Not if it makes USG look that weak and incompetent though. Anyway who knows 
 Again, the best way to make the US look weak is not to run a ship into a bridge, but to publicly destabilize its economy and pull its allies into financial deals which exclude the U.S.  and ignore its sanctions. That is a public bitch slap almost impossible to recover from. Russia is winning the war in Ukraine, and BRICS is winning. But it is more fun to think the Russians blew up a bridge. 🇷🇺🪆🌉💣 
 They are obviously doing that too, let’s see how long the petro-Yuan shitcoin lasts
