How Ukraine Could (Eventually) Retake Crimea
Get Nebula for just $2.50 a month: https://go.nebula.tv/tldrnewseu
Zelensky has repeatedly made it clear he wants to reclaim Crimea for Ukraine, but this is a tall order given Russia has occupied the region since 2014. So how might they actually achieve this? Is it a realistic possibility? And how would Putin respond?

As a child, I played Stronghold.
My favorite tactic was to create a map with eight players (7 bots and 1 player me).
Before that, in the map editor, I created a map on which I made an island out of the territory of my future castle, to which only one road led – the isthmus.
After the start of the game, I built a castle and built up this isthmus with towers with archers. I made several levels of walls, towers and so on.
It was a lot of fun to watch 7 bots send and send countless troops to my fortifications.
I played with bots.
I could not think that these bots would gain consciousness and begin to call themselves Ukrainians.

The decision to attack Crimea will be catastrophic for the Armed Forces of Ukraine.

Zelensky started talking about taking Crimea as a response to everyone saying Ukraine has lost. He said Ukraine would enter Crimea in dec 2022 and Russia would be out by jan 2023. Remember that Gen Milley said Ukraine should negotiate in oct/nov. More recently leaked pentagon documents tell a story that Ukraine's spring counter offensive isn't going to happen. Ukraine has thrown 80,000 troops into Bakhmut and will soon lose Bakhmut and 80,000 soldiers. The US propaganda machine tells the story that Ukraine can fight and win, knowing all that's happening is more Ukrainians are dying.

@A2Z1Two3
February 16, 2024 at 7:21 am
Don’t worry about destroying the canal feeding Crimea , Zelensky has already said to Ukrainians in Crimea to leave, so as not to hamper the Ukranian counteroffensive .
If they stay , they willingly take the risk of death from missiles , and any shortage of water is incidental.

More Western Propaganda disseminated on T.L.D.R..STOP! 😂
This is the only way America has left to fight the rapidly changing times! Lies & deception! REMEMBER NORD STREAM!
The U.S./WEST.. desperate to maintain their hegemon status, have tried to sanction "Russia.. beat back Putin," issue His arrest warrant, through the "ICC"..?. supply & fund Ukraine, control & prop-up Zelenskyy, defend Taiwan, & drive back China..etc..
All of this U.S. agression and foolish escalation of tensions aimed at Russia & China, SIMULTANEOUSLY.. such self-righteous, arrogance from Western media outlets, government official's, military leaders..etc has been the manifestation of the ugly horrors of "American exceptionalism".. America's days are numbered! 😂 MORE RIDICULOUS WESTERN PROPAGANDA!
The Fact is, the Ukrainian military is drained and they are losing!
Western supply chains are strained & NATO stockpiles of critical weapons and ammunition are depleted!! The war is transitioning, into a conflict in which the Russian side has several critical advantages. Neither the British Challenger Tanks nor those 3rd generation German "LEOPARD TANKS" will be be "THE SILVER BULLET" THAT ENDS THIS CONFLICT!
How long will take to train the Ukrainian soldiers to operate them, much less FIX them when their damaged in combat on the battlefield??? THIS WAR IS OVER.. RUSSIA CONTINUES TO OCCUPY HALF THE LAND MASS THEY'VE CAPTURED! Russia has conducted a dozen massive attacks on Ukraine’s infrastructure! It's cruise missiles and drones have methodically targeted power and heating stations..etc.
Ukraine now faces a war that will trigger an economic free fall of 5 to 15 percent of GDP and galloping inflation of 20 percent!
The combination of negative factors is more likely a demographic crisis, a significant destruction of the economy and the rise of poverty to more than 50 percent of the population await Ukraine,” MILLIONS.. have already migrated out of the Ukraine and they're not coming back, as fears of a Russian offensive persist, of a massive Russian attacks via Belarus, Moscow’s key ally!
The U.S. economy is in decline, the dollar is weak.. the financial markets are teetering on the brink of disaster & the U.S./NATO are so threatened by the rise of China, Russia & The BRICKS alliance! The U.S. along with Europe are WOKE, broke & deeply in debt countries! Inept, President Biden, incompetent administration official's and a WOKE Military that sponsored "Drag Shows at Langley Air Force base..??" ..are giving Moscow & Beijing another reason to break out the champagne, as the U.S. promotes Transvestism/gender identity & encourages the sexualizatiion of young kids.. THE ENEMY IS WITHIN!
We are witnessing the final stages of the end of an empire; corrupt systems of government, compromised institutions, a dishonest media..etc How about those Sanctions BIDEN levied against Russia, which had a boomerang effect, harming both the U.S. and Europe! America & Europe are in economic and financial freefall.. while the Russian Ruble is higher than it has been.. in years! Russia has the natural resources, including gas & oil, while their trade partners, China, India and Turkey are buying!
The BRICS ALLIANCE, are a major threat to Western Hegemony,
as this inane, U.S. administration disseminates more Western deception and lies.. along with more heated rhetoric, escalating tensions with both China and Russia..two nations with advanced Hypersonic Nuclear Weapons, as they push humanity to the brink of Global Thermonuclear War! ☢🙏

This is absolutely absurd. Nothing more than western projection propaganda and clickbait nonsense intended to deceive those who are not well informed about the war and/or gullible. I mean seriously Ukraine for the past MONTHS has been retreating and losing soldiers, equipment, and ground at an alarming and ever accelerating rate. They keep having to put off the offensive due to serious manpower shortages (lots of press ganging young kids and older men) just trying to find warm bodies. Trying for one more last gasp suicide charge/Ardennes Offensive 2.0. They have absolutely no capability to take Crimea. This is like saying in March of 1945 "How Germany can take New York!"
Even if there wasnt a single Russian soldier in Crimea, you have a population that wants absolutely nothing to do with the Kiev junta who has targeted and terrorized them ever since Ukraine lost its sovereignty in the coup of 2014. The population there made up its mind and returned to Russia. The matter is closed

Andriy Sybiha, deputy head of Zelenskyy’s office, said: "If we will succeed in achieving our strategic goals on the battlefield and when we will be on the administrative border with Crimea, we are ready to open [a] diplomatic page to discuss this issue,”. He added: “It doesn’t mean that we exclude the way of liberation [of Crimea] by our army.” The retaking of Crimea would come at high Ukrainian losses.

Believe it when I see it, but I know there are Ukrainian divisions that have bern training abroad. All expectations were that winter was going to break the Ukrainians. And reports of Bakhmut’s inevitable fall have been going for weeks, yet they have bend on. You can’t write it off.

Crimea as a bargaining chip could end the war. Slowly pushing Russian out of the eastern parts of Ukraine would be a slow & bloody process.
However if Ukraine retakes Crimea or even just begins sieging it, I think the Russian military might turn on Putin bringing a quicker end to the conflict.
