It’s great watching this in real time.
More and more strikes are hitting air defence targets making it harder to defend against meaning more strikes succeeding.
My bet is that as the russians are doing absolutely everything to pretend all is a o kay (remember the kremlin narrative is that they ate “unstoppable”), the first sensed weakness is actually the start of the downfall. Recently Ukraine explodes an air defense radar a day it seems, that is just not sustainable at all, and Ukraine doesn’t seem to be slowing down, more going faster and faster.
Good luck Ukraine, slava Ukraine!!
Russian “civilians” in Crimea deserve to also be targeted. They’re no better than West Bank settlers. More dead Russians will mean an increasingly safer Ukraine.
There are still Ukrainian citizens living on most of the occupied territories, including Crimea. Burning down the whole place, unfortunately, isn’t an option as they’re effectively hiding behind hostages.
I’m not saying burn the whole place down. I’m advocating for targeted attacks against non-Ukrainian, Russian citizens in order to strike terror and force them to leave the land they occupy for their summer homes.
Slight problem with your plan, it’s rather difficult to differentiate a persons nationality or their allegiance from a drone.
There are many, many “ethnically Russian” people in crimea whos families have lived there since long before the soviet union. Thats entirely different from the “oh look how cheap these recently unoccupied houses are!” people
So they’re Ukrainian/Russian? So not non-Ukrainian? Kind of like I can be Moroccan in France and still be French? I’m saying kill non-Ukrainian, Russian citizens. The ones who have no business being in Crimea.
Does it matter if the Russians moved there before or after Russia captured Crimea from Ukraine?
Yes and don’t sanitize your language. Russia stole the land through violent invasion and didnt even have the balls to do it openly and had to send in their unmarked mercenaries. Prior to Russian invasion, Russians who moved to Crimea immigrated and became Ukrainian. After Russia invaded, illegal Russian colonists (re: settlers) moved in and stole Ukrainian land.
This is all going to be over within six months one way or another. The dynamics of this might factor in somewhere along the line but there is a 0% chance that we get to a year from now in the same state of affairs that exist today.
I thought the same last year, and the year before and the year before…
And before that, I didn’t think Russia would be willing and or dumb enough to invade.
Why would you think that? Ukraine is doing okay now but they have a lot of ground to win. Russia has made it clear they don’t care about the cost to then and so they will grind on so long as they have any land, and maybe longer
Yeah but everything is in the toilet for russia, and they can’t claim anything else, so I’d just dismiss what the kremlin says.
