After successful strikes by Ukraine’s Armed Forces poked holes in both Russian warships and the Kremlin’s naval strategy, Moscow is abandoning its longtime “safe harbor” at Crimea.
I understand their motivation for 2014 invasion of Crimea. It went so well that they thought they could do it again and the world would ignore it. I don’t understand why Russia continues now that it is clear that they’re going to lose and they’ve become a global pariah. Russia is well on its way to being a vassal state to China.
imagine trying to tell putin 2 years ago that in 2023 he’d be pulling his ships back from Crimea and putting out the red carpet for North Korea to beg for military equipment assistance.
Simple. If they last until 2024 and Trump gets elected, he’ll deliver Ukraine to Putin wrapped in a bow. Also, Putin knows if he loses Crimea, he’ll go from being president to hanging from a lamp post.
