I recognize its Russia's propaganda, but I enjoy corrupting their propaganda / words into other uses.

There is truth in this matter: USSR was composed of many modern nations. This whole "Moskva ship sinks" thing is almost entirely Ukrainian, historically speaking. Ukrainian-built ship, brought down with Ukrainian missiles, with the Russians renaming the ship to Moskva to try to "steal" its way into history.

I find this entire situation deliciously ironic for the Russians. It really shows how much of a paper-tiger they are, and how much Russia is trying to steal the USSR's name and history for themselves.



> It really shows how much of a paper-tiger they are

In a straight fight, it sure looks that way.

But a weak, frightened and embarrassed authoritarian nuclear power is a very dangerous thing.
