Lets bookmark this brilliant analysis of how Russia needs Snake Island to capture ( demilitarize/control) Odessa
You do realize the Russians control Snake Island with air cover and missiles?
Why put 25 men there?
Lets see the Ukes try.
By your peculiar logic the Russians now control Kyiv with air cover and missiles and the Ukrainians similarly control Dombass. Sorry, no sale.
Clearly Russia has given up on capturing Odessa, and if they lose Kherson they lose the war. As Yogi Berra said, it ain’t over till it’s over.
And why any sane person would root for the mass murderer Putin to succeed is beyond my understanding.
