why the blue? If Russia targets anyone with nukes - Moscow is a good target
Well maybe. The west probably would pick a very high valued military target and not just a civilian epicenter. There is a reason why Tokyo wasnt the target when it might seem like an obvious one. Nuclear Weapons are the most destructive weapons in our arsenal but they dont wipe cities off the map nearly like people seem to think. If one dropped at Yankee Stadium NYC is still standing. Hell if you dropped one in downtown Mobile then Spanish Fort and Theodore are hardly in the blast zone. Other than saying "hey lets bomb the Kremlin" there really is no point in targeting Moscow or St Petersburg with a nuke unless you just want to return the favor and kill civilians. There are better and cheaper ways to hit Moscow with bombs than nukes.

but i thought the sinking of the moskova was from a horrible accident on board
This is like QOP talking points - so long as they demonize the opponent the content does not matter. Choose which story(ies) you want to believe and go with it.

It's like those books where you got to choose the path to the end but the end is usually pretty much the same regardless of your choices.

I know better than to ever read the comments, but sometimes I do anyway. This story at al dot com on FB had all the conspiracy nuts and Russian bots out and about.
The Federal News Agency (formerly the Internet Research Agency) in St. Petersburg is the reason most on-line news stories do not allow comments. It became a cesspool.

I think they mostly drink themselves to an early death...

“Legend holds that the tenth-century Russian prince Vladimir the Great rejected Islam as a state religion for the country because of its prohibition of alcohol.[12] Historically, alcohol has been tolerated or even encouraged as a source of revenue.[13]

In the 1540s, Ivan the Terrible began setting up kabaks (кабак) or taverns in his major cities to help fill his coffers;[13][14] a third of Russian men were in debt to the kabaks by 1648.[14] By 1860, vodka, the national drink, was the source of 40% of the government's revenue.[14]
