    After diarrhea, a fire broke out on an American aircraft carrier. And this is symbolic.
    The aircraft carrier almost completely repeats the situation in the political space of the United States - to crap on the international arena and expect a fire inside the United States.

    I am glad our troops were able to quickly extinguish the fire without loss of life and contain the viral outbreak. Honestly I don’t see how more reports like this don’t happen seeing how close contact everyone is forced in on these floating cities.

    Thankfully we are not facing issues and mass deaths like the failing Russian nation

    The US is facing even greater challenges. But you can still hide your head in the sand. :roflol::roflol::roflol:

    That carrier represents EVERYTHING great about America!

    Seriously I look at her and hear the theme to Battlestar Galactica in my head.

    Russia's economy is in depression and no amount of lying on official statistics will change that.

    You don't have to make an excuse. If you have arguments, just show them.

    You can tell that it is a US rather than a Russian carrier because:

    1) it is actually at sea rather than stuck in dry dock;
    2) it doesn't need its own tug following after it to tow it when it breaks down;
    3) it actually flies modern, capable aircraft;
    4) it isn't the only carrier in the fleet.

    Another US carrier wil ltake the place of this one while it undergoes minor repairs.

    If there was a thread for every minor mishap on Russia's only carrier we would need a new forum.

    Depression and the US Civil War will soon add challenges. Enjoy.

    Yes. I know that the US militarily is still living in the early 20th century.
    But in the 21st century, rockets play a more important role.
    For example, an American aircraft carrier even retreated from the coast of North Korea after Kim Jong En threatened to launch a missile attack ....
    By the way, maybe the diarrhea on board the aircraft carrier is related to the statement of the Korean leader?

    Fire is also a symbol. Especially after the Biden control.

    Don't assume that because your ships are such pieces of junk that Ukraine can sink them that America is the same. They actually build ships that work. Your nation can't even feed its soldiers, let alone keep ships at sea. All it seems to be good at is producing alcoholics, murderers, rapists and internet trolls.

    Hows the Admiral Kuznetsov doing by the way? You know, that floating rust bucket Russia laughingly refers to as an aircraft carrier. The 'pride' of the Russian navy?

    Well, it won't be hard for those missiles to find. :D

    I wonder what the budget for upgrades will be given....rapidly shifting priorities. ;) Anyone brave enough to bet it will be functional before 2025?

    Of course, even if it is, flying a handful of missions against poeple without an airforce (and crashing a couple of planes in the process) isn't exactly going to scare anyone....except maybe the people on board praying that the next breakdown doesn't kill them.

    The Russians do not and never had aircraft carriers. Admiral Kuznetsov is an old warship that has been scrapped.
    Just like, for example, some American B52 bombers, which are still in service with the American army.
    By the way, Russian sailors, even on an old ship, do not suffer from diarrhea. This happens regularly in the US Army. For example, after a Russian plane flew over the Admiral Cook, American sailors experienced an attack of this disease. Or remember how an attack of diarrhea was observed on the crew of an aircraft carrier sent to the coast of North Korea, after Kim Jong-un threatened to launch a missile attack on the aircraft carrier.

    You should tell the Russian Navy she's been scrapped. Apparently they haven't heard the news. After spending millions just on on joining to small floating docks together to accommodate the Admiral Kuznetsovship for ongoing 'upgrades' the last public report form the Russian Government states she's due back in service in 2024! Assuming of course Russia can find (or steal) all the electronics they'll need to upgrade it's systems. Off course by then her hull will be almost 40 years old so she'll probably still have to escorted everywhere she goes by a tug boat but hey, you can't have everything. (Including, if you live in Russia apparently even one single new aircraft carrier!

    Sure.

    Prove any of those claims.
