Isn’t this what the Nazis did? Get people to report their neighbours for not toeing the line?

Some huge explosions the last hours on an Crimean airfield where many Russian warplanes are supposed to be and other big explosions close to Crimea with important railways and weapon depots. 200km+ away from Ukrainian controlled ground.

That's out of HIMARS range so is that likely to be partizan attacks?



So it can’t be a naval strike by Ukraine either?
I’m not sure what the situation is on the water.



I describe myself as a little dose of toxic masculinity.

Ukraine doesn't have an active Navy, so that would be a no.

Not sure if sabotage or not but today they also had a huge explosion on Crimea's border which is like 170km away from Ukrainian controlled territory. If it would be only one place but it's at least two which are like 150km away from each other.

yes exactly, it's also almost in Crimea. Just a few miles away from it.

Sounds like Neptune?

I mean, that’s the only modern weapon of Ukrainian origin used so far in the war but I’m lead to believe that anti-ship missile are such for a reason - that hitting land-based targets with them is problematic. Russia has bene using anti-ship missiles in place of cruise missile throughout the war and they seem to be inaccurate, ranking up a high amount of collateral damage. I’d like to think Ukraine is smarter than that.

Does that woman understand how wars work? Russia can’t expect to dictate the terms of the conflict. And what about all the red lines that Russia have crossed?
