By that logic, nothing the US has done regarding Ukraine can be considered terrorism either. 
It doesn't say anything about the direct acts of violence Russia has commited towards or within Ukraine.

That’s the only way that Russia can justify having lost another one of their navy. “ boo-hoo, let’s lie and say it was filled with POW that way. It looks bad for Ukraine too.”

I have never seen a navy get totally sunk....by another without a navy. Its getting to the point were you could strap some explosives on a jet ski and deep six the entire fleet. The Russians have zero command and control of the waters.

When has anyone seriously accused the U.S. of terrorism? They simply funded, assisted and promoted regime change. Now they’re supplying the weapons.
Washington is ready to smash Iran because they believe they’re supplying rebel groups with weapons to hit illegal U.S. bases in Syria and Iraq.
Does this mean Russia is entitled to start smashing the United States, or Great Britain?

The US didn't fund, promote or assist regime change, the regime changed, Russia invaded, and the US supported Ukraine..
Russia isn't entitled to invade the US and neither is the US entitled to invade Iraq.

I Keep reading U.S. is going to put land based nuclear missiles in Britain, but they don't say when. Not sure if we're sending a message to Russia or to Trump. Same message either way.

Here's an image of Zaluzhny casually posing with a Right Sector commander and a Bandera portrait.

But there are no nazis in Ukraine.
Another thing I thought was interesting was that a USN warship had to use its phalanx guns to destroy an incoming Houthi missile. https://edition.cnn.com/2024/02/02/middleeast/phalanx-gun-last-line-of-defense-us-navy-intl-hnk-ml/index.html
This means that a primitive Houthi missile penetrated the warship's outer missile defense layers and was seconds away from impact when it was shot down.
People make fun of Russia for losing warships but we're only one mistake away from having the Houthis seriously damage or sink one of our ships. And the Houthis have much less technology.
I read that the Russian ship had problems because the attack happened at night and the sailors were shooting blindly without being able to see the drones. In the future they will need to equip their guns on the ship with night vision scopes to avoid this.

Why you got to lie and act like anyone has ever said there are no nazis in Ukraine? Like no one in their right might would say there are no nazis in the US or Russia either. Tf chops?
And if Russia ships don't already have night vision?

The phalanx CIWS is pretty impressive. Definitely moreso than some Russian sailors blindly firing into the dark. They did exactly what they were designed for. They tracked and destroyed an incoming missile within 2 miles of their position. They can actually do the same to artillery shells and even mortar rounds when deployed on land.

People make fun of Russia for losing warships because they lose a lot of them, people can’t make fun of the US losing warships because we haven’t lost any in decades.

Yeah stop making fun of Russias horrible navy. It’s not their fault the sun goes down.

It's interesting how often relative cost comes up, when not all money is equal. Money depends on production. A camera might be cheaper than a ship's worth of steel, but if you don't have access to the chips that make the camera work, but you have tons of steel...the ship is easier to build.
