Let's talk about a Russian ship bound for North Korea sinking under suspicious circumstances.... - Belle of the Ranch

Well, howdy there internet people. It's Belle again. So, today we're going to talk about a Russian ship bound for North Korea sinking under suspicious circumstances.

What we're going to do is go over the official story and then we'll talk about the giant list of reasons to press X to doubt while hearing it because there's a high probability that there is way more to this than meets the eye. So, let's get the official story out of the way first. Officially, a Russian flagged ship named the Ursa Major left St. Petersburg on its way to Vladivostok while carrying “non-dangerous merchandise.” Everything was going fine as it approached Spain. Then there were three explosions in the engine room. The ship slowed. She started listing heavily. Spanish rescue services came out to help. Crew abandoned ship. The rescue operation was taken over by a Russian warship which ordered other vessels to back off 2 miles. The Russian warship fired flares undoubtedly because, you know, rescue flares and you need those. They certainly weren't meant to limit overhead surveillance.

Shortly thereafter, the ship sank. She's a decent-sized ship of around 465 ft or 142 m. She was carrying more than 100 shipping containers, some machinery, some large manhole covers. There were also two large blue containers that were estimated to weigh about 65 tons each.

So there you go, official story. Now, let's talk about why the official story is trash.

Those manhole covers. Well, the captain apparently admitted under questioning that they were nuclear reactor components like the kind you find on nuclear subs. Oh, and he believed he would be diverted to North Korea.

Okay. So, Russia was running some nuclear components to North Korea, probably to pay them back for joining their war in Ukraine, and world famous Russian maintenance occurred, causing explosions, which caused the ship to sink. Cool.

Except there's a 20x 20 in hole in the hull of the ship with the metal bent inward generally indicating the damage came from outside the ship. That's super captivating. It could also be super cavitating. Reporting suggests that damage is consistent with a super cavitating torpedo. Not a lot of countries have those. So, if you eliminate Russia itself and Iran, well, it's pretty clear NATO did it.

There are other possible sources for the damage in the ship, and I'm sure there's a group that knows a lot of naval warfare development coming up with a theory as we speak. But wait, there's more.

After the sinking, there were four additional explosions in the wreckage believed to have been conducted by Russian intelligence assets and US nuclear sniffer planes have been flying over the area.

Oberon Logistics is the company that owns the ship. Well, they have publicly stated that they believe “a targeted terrorist attack was carried out on the company's vessel Ursa Major.”

Okay. So, do we know what happened exactly? Not really. What we do know is that there's a metric ton of evidence suggesting the ship was sunk in a covert operation. This sinking occurred back in December of 2024. Why are we just getting all the pieces? Because failures are known and successes are not.

Anyway, it's just a thought. Y'all have a good day.
