“Guess it’s what is done now, announce to the enemy you’re going to be attacking.”
Which is a great idea especially if you’re going to attack something else.
Just my opinion here but this tells me the Ukrainians want the Russians to defend Crimea. That’s going to weaken the Russians somewhere else and the somewhere else will be the real target.
Looks like the dual-administration deal for Crimea is on the board (with Turkish peacekeepers) after China thew Putin under the bus earlier today.
Now we know why Erdogan and Xi refused to recognize Crimea as Russian territory.
You didn’t win many games as a kid did you?
