“If Russia is no longer able to use any of the ports there, if the Ukrainians are able to isolate it, that big bridge is eventually going to come down.”
Crimea is still the “decisive terrain of the war” and will deter Putin’s ability to control the Black Sea, says Lieutenant General Ben Hodges.

The General has been saying this for some time now.
Man I hope he’s right.
Wouldn’t that be great?!
I’m in favor of blowing the bridge, but not in favor of returning crimea. It’s like with Serbia, they still claim 90% muZZlim kosovo although it’s just a pain in their asses. Better retake Donbas + Zaporizhia and hang putler at red square.
I’ll give you a half a like, Mike, for the bridge part. 😉
What? Putler must hang! 😇
