So you are already changing your prediction?
In just a day you've gone from your initial prediction of a "few months" for the dry docks to be back in operation to now a year?
OK.
That makes a lot more sense to me.
But then you also use the word "if" the Russian repair it.....that means you think that perhaps the Russians won't repair it at all?
Whoa....with that statement you are now moving seriously close to being in full agreement with what I said.
Think about it....your statement that the Russians may choose not to repair the dry docks at all is the exactly the same as what I've been saying all along. ......You've been quibbling over the word "destroy" for several days but leaving that aside it appears you now accept that my prediction that the Russians won't repair the dry docks at all due to the extensive damage from the missile attack has a distinct possibility of being right.
OK. That's great. In fact I think I'll take a little victory dance right there.
Right now the Russians have even bigger problems to worry about than two burned out hulks sitting in a heavily damaged dry dock. The Russians have to try to prevent the Ukrianians from destroying the rest of their air defense system over Crimea, blowing up more ships in the Black sea, bringing down the Kursk Bridge and expanding their ground assault to the Azov Sea, cutting the land connection between mainland Russia and the Crimean Peninsula and blockading all the Russian forces now in occupied SE Ukraine.
Cheers!
