Russia hits civilian ships in Odesa again, because cargo is apparently a threat

Original version ·

Just in case anyone forgot who we are dealing with, the neighbors just shot up two civilian bulk carriers flying African flags. Because nothing screams military glory quite like fighting grain.

The targeted ships were flying the flags of Tanzania and Liberia, doing normal, peaceful things in the Black Sea corridor. But in the parallel universe next door, a cargo vessel is basically an aircraft carrier.

A captain of one of the ships was killed, and several crew members were wounded. No military cargo, no weapons, just regular sailors trying to do their jobs while navigating next to a terrorist state.

It takes a very specific kind of superpower to keep declaring war on global food supply lines and expecting the world to respect them for it.
