Hey, now, if Russia manages to build a replacement for the floating drydock that sank, they might be able to move their one aircraft carrier into strike range, and then we'll really be in trouble...
When it sinks into the Baltic Sea.
Fortunately that piece of shit doesn't even have a nuclear reactor so it would amount to a (still pretty bad) heavy fuel oil spill, but honestly that happens whether it sinks or not.
