The Ukrainians should destroy the bridge that the Russians built to Crimea, to force all the resupply of the Southern Front to have to come by sea.
At least it’s well-written propaganda, unlike most of the garbage I’ve seen on social media.
If that is true, then this looks like the same problem Russian logistics had when Germany invaded in Operation Barbarossa. The Russians had men and equipment, no supplies, no support, no trains, and barely enough boots or food due to Stalin's directives being all over the place. When Germany invaded, Russian logistics collapsed taking the Russian army with it.
Now the Russians started a war with barely enough gas too cross the border. This is turning into a fight where the winner is the least incompetent between Biden and Putin. Insanity would be less harmful than what is unfolding right now. God help the Ukrainians caught in the middle of this.
They don’t have to, they can just wait and sooner or later they will reabsorb Taiwan like they did Hong Kong even if it takes another 50 years.
We should just all go back to the cottage industries and local city states, with self local governance. I’m just dreaming here though heh.
Ruthenia.
There are parallels to other events too. Like when Russians invaded Hungary or Czechoslovakia and expected to be welcomed as saviors and then seeing everyone hates them.
There was a video of an old Ukrainian woman going to Russian invaders and offering them sunflower seeds - “Put these in your pockets, invaders! Then at least something good grows out of it after you lay dead rotting on our fields”.
