(Washington DC) Russia’s Navy was poorly positioned to assert itself as a major global force years before its war with Ukraine.

Developments since the Kremlin began its invasion, would suggest this is even more true now.

For Putin, it seems the Russian Navy does indeed look like a ‘sinking ship’ in every sense of the word.

The unity of government which constitutes you one people is also now dear to you. It is justly so, for it is a main pillar in the edifice of your real independence, the support of your tranquility at home, your peace abroad; of your safety; of your prosperity; of that very liberty which you so highly prize. But as it is easy to foresee that, from different causes and from different quarters, much pains will be taken, many artifices employed to weaken in your minds the conviction of this truth.  George Washington - Farewell Address
