    “The world’s most expensive barge” isn’t nearly the flex Putin wants it to be. Hell, I work retail. Gimme a pricing gun, and I can sell you the world’s most expensive anything.

    Plus, their new sub might be really cool, but unless it’s in the Black Sea, it’s not doing shit to Ukraine.

      You’re missing the mild humor. The Admiral Kuznetsov is an aircraft carrier for legal purposes a missile frigate that has regularly failed to run under its own power.

      For forty years.

      It is towed from dry dock to dry dock.

      No better metaphor for Russia.
