    • i say up to the dnieperhans_glib
    • It looks like he’s going to take a big chunk of the country but tbh anything could happen.Chimp
    • I've always figured they'd take enough of a chunk of the east to make a land connection to Crimea. For me, this is all about Crimea.Nairn
    • Apparently the Ukrainians cut the water supply off to Crimea, so perhaps that's one objective.Chimp
    • I think Russia's long term aim is to rejuvenate its navy so that it can control its northern passage and project power around Europe, via the Med.Nairn
    • 'Military aim', sorry. Crimea's theirs, that's a given. It's a matter of connecting that to the Motherland proper, I believe.

    • Oh, wait. I'm so f'ing dumb. Russia's got a direct connection via the East of Crimea, doesn't it? That's what they built that bridge for.Nairn
    • I thought that was Georgia, lol.Nairn
