Already done - its called the Kersh (peach) bridge the largest bridge ever built by Russia.

An ailing Vladimir Putin is flailing over his war strategy, torn between using nuclear weapons and accepting defeat and handing back Ukrainian regions invaded by his forces, a Telegram channel claims.
Amid fresh concerns over his health, his security officials have bluntly told the warmonger president that he has run out of 'good' options.
This comes as the death toll in the Russian armed forces plus separatist fighters and pro-Putin private armies has reached almost 65,000, said General SVR Telegram channel, an opposition source offering 'insider' information which the Kremlin is 'seeking to shut down'.
There is 'despondency' among Putin’s senior entourage that he had privately raised the 'extreme' option with 'top aides” of a 'goodwill' to cede newly invaded territories to Ukraine.
At the same time, there is a warning from his defence chiefs that a Ukrainian military counter strike is likely to be 'effective'.
Such an outcome would threaten his presidency, being seen as a humbling, crushing defeat.
But Putin’s leading officials are also said to be braced for a 'sharp deterioration' in his medical condition.
'With a high degree of probability, we can say that soon the president will not be able to personally hold meetings and participate in large events,' said the channel, which has long asserted the he suffers from cancer and other serious medical problems.
Putin’s absence will be explained as due to a return of the Covid pandemic, it was alleged.
In recent meetings with his security and defence aides, claimed General SVR, 'various options were discussed, from the possibility of mobilising and using tactical nuclear weapons, to opening a second front in a third country, and, finally, to "gestures of good will" with the return of the occupied territories of Kherson, Zaporizhzhia and Kharkiv regions to Ukraine.'

If you mean Dugin, he is a nationalist, a populist, a traditionalist who argues for a natural world with humans living in their niche with all life. He is passionate about spiritual identities being allowed flourish.
He is vehemently against transhumanism, the mutilation of children to satisfy a rare fetish and an even rarer mental aberration, the mechanistic approach of Schwab and his ilk.
He advocates a multi-polar world with citizens participating as they wish, within the confines of natural humans in a natural world. He is against global governance and sees clearly the surveillance and tracking schemes being implemented. He is anti-communist.
He warns of our world becoming like 1984. He most definitely does not promote such a world. He opposes every bit of the New Liberal Order, as do all sane humans, everywhere.
Dugin is not as you characterize him.
You're utter clueless as to what the Russian war strategy is, embarrassingly so. The plan was not to take Kharkiv. The plan to liberate Lugansk and Donetsk, clear out the neo-Nazi Azovs from Mariupol, take the Kherson region and secure a land bridge from Russia to Crimea.
Russia is very close to accomplish all of that. The only thing left is to clear out the remaining Ukrainian army from Donetsk.
Russia now controls 80-90% of the Black Sea coastline. Kherson soon will vote either joining the Russian Federation or becoming an independent state.
Russia continues to gain territory daily. And, they will continue to unless Ukraine surrenders.
...bad similarities to WWI.

Not even the managers surrounding Biden call the shots. They simply implement orders and appear to be responsible for some tactical decisions, not strategic ones.
I think all of them are ultimately expendable and as they face *election*, they will be replaced. Or replaced by other means or stand down, like Draghi. I also think the next iteration of Young Global Leaders will be less charming.
I agree with your post, but would like to address the RDS characterization:
If you think back to the origins of TDS and follow the Current Thing forward to today, that’s all the RDS really is: the momentary manifestation of fervent support for The Current Thing as defined/presented by the legacy state media. It is appropriated by neoliberals desperate to at least cling to the coattails of those they believe will win and then reward them. Don’t get me wrong, it is still a mental illness, but it is induced, not organic.
A number of FReepers, but especially the pro Russia bunch have complained a lot about US financial support to Ukraine. In the comment answered here, Poland has already committed to buy $4.75 billion Patriot missiles. In addition, how much more money will go to US business for the 250 M1 Abrams tanks. The Poles have also invested in 500 HIMARs from the US. I’m not clear on whether all the remaining purchases are from S. Korea, or if additional might also be from US. Can any of our military informants here clarify how much money might actually come to the US from Poland. I imagine a lot of other EU countries are also comtemplating purchases. Also quite a lot of the money allocated by Congress is also going to be spent in the US for military and humanitarian supplies that will be purchased from US businesses and supplied directly to Ukraine or refugees.
We have people like Alexander Dugin who for 25 years has been influencing his proposals for Russian domination partly through influence on tyrant for life Putin. Anyone wishing to take part in the battle to save this country and the world for tyranny and Fascism would do well to study this man. There are many articles to be found at Google, “Alexander Dugin and Putin Friendship” or similar choices. Be sure to go to links beyond the first Google page as he has been writing at least since his opus work in 1997.
“Putin’s Playbook: #Reviewing Dugin’s Foundations of Geopolitics
His 1997 pivotal work, The Foundations of Geopolitics: The Geopolitical Future of Russia, is a 600-page textbook that includes excerpts from some of history’s most prolific strategists. These include Alfred Mahan and Halford Mackinder. In eight parts, each with chapters and subchapters, he establishes the strategies of Russia’s adversaries, devises his own, and provides bold steps to regain Russia’s position of dominance lost at the end of the Cold War. The most trenchant of these recommendations include the invasion of Georgia, the annexation of Ukraine, the separation of Britain from the rest of Europe, and the sowing of divisive seeds in the United States, each of which should sound quite familiar.
Suffice it to say that two of Russia’s most controversial moves this century have been the 2008 invasion of Georgia and the 2014 annexation of Crimea. Dugin addressed the problems of both Georgia and Ukraine in back-to-back subchapters. According to him, Russia needed the Black Sea coast-line for both trade and as a naval base of operations so that the “northern coast of the Black Sea [could] be exclusively Eurasian and centrally subordinate to Moscow.”[1]”
If you would wish to counteract Putin’s plans and those of his supporters, you must study Dugins work, as you would have needed to study Mein Campf if you wished to fight Hitler.
Given what Dugin to say about Crimea and Putins actions in carrying it out, I wonder if something could be worked out where Ukraine regains all it’s territory including Crimea, but makes an agreement to allow Russia to base commercial shipping in Crimea for a fee. Also an international highway be built to Russia from Crimea, which would not allow transport of military supplies and include inspection rights. Thus, at least the objective of a warm water port and trade possibilities for Russia could be secure, without the military danger to Ukraine and other Black Sea and Mediterranean countries. I don’t know how well the Danzig Corridor worked out, but that is at least one previous example used to solve a difficult multinational problem.
Already done - its called the Kersh (peach) bridge the largest bridge ever built by Russia.
The Russian "Plan" was to bypass the large citites and Decapitate the Regime in Kiev in the first Month - Total Failure.
All of "Black Sea coastline" except for mouth of the Dnieper, they controlled before, because any shipping had to go through the Kerch straight.
Kherson is on the wrong side of 3 unuseable bridges, so they can vote to be Russian's but they won't be able to easily get there.
Ukraine won't be surrendering any time soon, So I guess Russia will continue to lose 500 men for every mile they take. Maybe when they get to 100,000 and haven't taken another City of more than 250,00, they'll come to their senses. Maybe they won't. Whatever, don't care. Putin isn't my hero.
If Iraq was a Quagmire, this is a Super Mega Doppler Quagmire.
nothing could be further from the truth than what you said.
after this great reset,NWO and zelensky/biden are stopped then i’ll be happy to to join in cheering for a putin replacement. you were disingenuous, very few if any here on FR are actually Putin fans!
Putin definitely has dedicated fans here, and that goes back for many years, many of these pro-Putin posters have been posting devotional praise and hopes for him for many years.
Putin’s days of going shirtless were a huge hit among them here in past years.
A nice bridge, but if this is the biggest bridge ever built by Russia?? I sure is no Golden Gate or even Chesapeake Bay Bridge. I got the impression there is land to be crossed to get from Crimea to Russia, so I was thinking a supervised highway with checkpoints like the Turks are doing with ships carrying grain from Ukriane.
It’s all over for Putin, the walls are closing in. I think if we could send Zelensky a few 100 billion more it would help.
Kazan on 22nd August “Kherson soon will vote either joining the Russian Federation or becoming an independent state.
Russia continues to gain territory daily. And, they will continue to unless Ukraine surrenders.”
Russia retreats just a month after declaring kherson part of Russia. After the fale referenda.
You guys lost kazan. Now withdraw your troops from Ukraine
