Russian research nuke sub catches fire
- anigbrowl 7y agoThis is a particularly awkward turn for Vladimir Putin as it evokes memories of the Kursk submarine disaster that took place early in his political career. It caused acute embarrassment and a rare loss of self-control as Putin had to make humiliating admissions about the poor state of Russian military readiness. Putin is a brilliant strategist but not a gregarious leader, so this incident may have broader repercussions. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kursk_submarine_disaster#Putin_meets_with_families https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kursk_submarine_disaster#Putin...
