Word is that the Ukrainians are posed to try and retake Crimea. Be interesting to see how Putin reacts to that considering he considers Crimea Russian territory
Does Putin actually
have anything significant left to throw into the fight? I've seen so many conflicting "analyses" on TV and on line that I don't know what to believe. (Which is probably the point of much of the coverage.)
I hope I'm not wrong, but I don't see Putin actually
using nukes. But he
could fire off a lot of his remaining tactical missiles at Kiev, targeting their palaces or whatever their fancy government buildings are called. Or maybe he can browbeat Belarus into openly invading Ukraine's northwest.
Or maybe all the leaks about Crimea are disinformation, the same way the Allies "leaked" plans to invade at Calais rather than Normandy for D-Day. (Or maybe they want the Russians to
think Crimea is the decoy, when it's really their objective.) Really can go down the rabbit hole thinking about this when you don't have any actual information.
