The Conservative Cave

CNN reports that the mysterious sinking of a Russian cargo ship in 2024 was probably carrying nuclear plants from decommissioned submarines, on their way to be delivered to North Korea for its just-completed nuclear sub.

It also looks like somebody deliberately sank it. After, perhaps, a different somebody disabled the ship.
...
The story is extensively supported, although some of the key elements are built on circumstantial evidence, such as the implication that the Biden administration disabled the ship and that the Russians subsequently sank it to dispose of the evidence.

But that evidence is extremely strong, including multiple explosions on the ship after a Russian vessel spent days shadowing the cargo vessel, and more explosions days after it reached the sea floor. The original attack on the vessel appears to have been a limpet mine attached to the hull.
...
It's a remarkable story, with a lot of twists and turns. The information that the Ursa Major was carrying two Russian submarine nuclear reactors came from the captain of the sunken ship, who also said he didn't know if the reactors were fueled or not. While one would normally assume the reactors were not fueled, it turns out that refueling a submarine reactor is a massive project and not one that would easily be done by the North Koreans, so it is quite possible they were already refueled.
...
Russian military vessels were escorting the Ursa Major throughout its journey, which is how they were able to so quickly destroy the vessel and sink it. If so, the operation to place a limpet mine on the ship would have been quite sophisticated, with few countries able to pull it off. Speculation that a torpedo took the ship out seems to me to be off base for any number of reasons, not the least of which being that the evidence left behind would be highly incriminating.

I thought it was because even the idiot DUers refused to bow to her all-knowing greatness. Regardless, I sure miss the Round Mound of Renown AND the fabricating mammary gland Tom.
It'd be good (if Tom is still on this side of the ground) if he and PCIntern would do a duo of fabricating bloviation together on DU. It might not go gold, but it would surely go pewter.

IIRC, Nads was a Bernie 'bot when the DUmp's powers that be demanded ideological purity for the Hillary camp.
I could be wrong, but that's what sticks in my wee noggin.

FIRST ON FOX: Rep. Darrell Issa, R-Calif., has introduced a resolution aimed at reversing the two impeachments of President Donald Trump in the House of Representatives in a move he says will rectify a situation where Democrats used "knowingly false" claims in a partisan attempt to destroy the president’s reputation.

The resolution, H.Res.1211, referred to the House Judiciary Committee, declares that both of Trump’s impeachments, approved by the House in 2019 and 2021, should be formally "expunged as if such Article had never passed the full House of Representatives."

"The fact is that the Constitution doesn't spell out what to do when you've wrongfully indicted somebody," Issa told Fox News Digital. "An impeachment is basically an indictment and it's an indictment that you can't really be acquitted from. If you are impeached by the House, famously where do you go to get your reputation back, is the question,"

"And that’s sort of a problem that we're dealing with, which is that the president was wrongfully accused, the evidence is now out that there was withheld information and false information, but where do we go to unring this bell? And the answer is we go back to Congress and we go to the House floor and we have a vote."

"More importantly," Issa explained, is that he hopes his process will "make sure that the facts and the reality that there was misconduct in the process gets a hearing" because that’s "really where this becomes a big deal is that we really have to make our case in front of Congress and in front of the American people."
