They might attack a nuclear plant..ohh wait Maybe they will attack with chemical weapons....no already did that.


BasvanS

They might blow up a dam and flood…, wait, no that already happened too.


gsrmn

The Russians have done everything even illegal gas attacks on Ukrainians. Nope they will not use any "bigger'' explosion type bombs. That is just a tool the Russians and every fact ignoring Russian supporters like to use.


lord_pizzabird

This is why IMO Ukraine should just absolutely pound and destroy everything in Crimea. Ruin the harbor Russia wants so bad for their navy, destroy the bridge so bad that it can never be rebuilt. Just go crazy. That way even if Russia still holds onto Crimea it won't be worth much.


LewisLightning

I don't know about *everything*. After all, Ukraine's ultimate objective is to reclaim these lands from Russia. Spending millions to make those lands decimated to the point of being less than worthless would seem counterproductive if you expected people to return back there. But I'm all for destroying the port and any buildings that Russians built since 2014, as well as any buildings Russians used for their military. That includes the Kerch bridge. Let it become a new habitat for coral and crustaceans at the bottom of the Black Sea.


Lucidotahelp6969

Does Ukraine have the man power to even take it back? Even with Western weapons/f16s? It seems like some devstating shit would need to happen to/within Russia because they have a good number of ethnic minorities they can continue to throw into the meat grinder


strangepromotionrail

Ukraine is definitely suffering from a serious lack of ammo and manpower at the moment. I doubt even when/if the ammo issue gets fixed that they could do a convention assault on Crimea and drive Russia out. Instead take out the bridge, move forward enough to put all supply lines into range and just slowly bleed them out. It'll take ages but will likely be less costly than actually fighting for it.


LudditeHorse

Maybe their special ops guys could hijack a cargo ship and just bonk it into the bridge. Any civil engineers ITT? It looks like a different kind of bridge than the one in Baltimore, but F=m\*a is F=m\*a, right?


drdipepperjr

They already tried a truck bomb and a couple drone strikes. I imagine a ship the size of a city block like in Baltimore is less sneaky and more sinkable.


Seitanic_Cultist

Seems a bit unfair on the people on the cargo ship. I used to work on them and I'd be pretty annoyed if someone stuck a gun in my face and drove my workplace into a bridge.


Poop_Knife_Folklore

nah not with anyone onboard. just "ghosty it" into the bridge at the last minute


LeftDave

They don't need manpower. Take out the bridge, sink supply ships, shell the road in or manage to advance to the coast (simply holding a key intersection to break the connection would work). Then just wait for the water to run out. It's not a defensible position without the bridge. Where manpower becomes an issue is pushing the Russians out of Eastern Ukraine. Unless the Russians run out of ammo, that's not happening without NATO boots.


silverionmox

> Does Ukraine have the man power to even take it back? Well, Ukraine *does* have the power to deny it to Russia in the sense that it's now unusable as navy base for Russia: they have to put their ships elsewhere. That kind of demonstration holds weight at the negotiation table.


rhino015

It’ll still be worth a lot to Russia. It gives them good access to the Black Sea. That has economic and security benefits even if Crimea was just a port and an uninhabitable desert. But it also happens to be some pretty premo land as well


Spinnweben

# Then destroy Novorossiysk! The big non-Ukrainian Black Sea port in Russia, that is so big, Russia needs Crimea to have access the Black Sea, because Russia could otherwise have no warm water port in the Black Sea besides Novorossiysk, which somehow does not count. It had 18% of the Russian cargo turnover. It's a much more important target than the fucking bridge. Sink the cargo ships between Istanbul and Novorossiysk!

Lostinthestarscape

They love Thailand - we should be leveraging our relationships with Thailand to ban Russians from visiting.

Yeah, good luck with that. They own half of the real estate in popular tourist spots.

Position s 9/10ths. expropriation law in Thailand: https://www.bangkokpost.com/thailand/special-reports/312580/property-in-thailand-part-3-can-the-government-take-it-away so it _can_ be done with a valid reason and some steps. But they would be shooting themselves in the foot out of tourism money.


Lostinthestarscape

Sound like a great reason to pay Thialand a bunch of money and seize Russian owned assets. I 100% agree with you - impossible, but it would definitely hit some oligarchs where it hurts. Lots of more easily accessible Russian assets we should be seizing anyway. 


dynamicallysteadfast

Thailand likes to be neutral in these matters. They need a good relationship with china, and benefit from being on the fence. They would not like being pressured to make enemies of their allies.


hiricinee

US navy just made its underwater drones. Should totally sell one to Ukraine and have them torpedo the fuck out of the bridge.


hopsgrapesgrains

How about Moscow..

Bomb civilians, use chemical weapons, abduct children, etc. Which is to say, exactly what they’re already doing.

HapticRecce

Blow up a dam and cause a civilian and environmental disaster?


Congenitaloveralls

Lmao they're already using chemical weapons


VoodooS0ldier

Yeah how is it gonna get any worse? If they resort to a tactical nuke the United States said that they would intervene.


IndependenceStriking

Oh it won’t just be the United States, that’s for sure.

Missile attacks on civilians most likely


E51838

They’ve been doing that the entire time.


Twitchingbouse

chemical and biological weapons in kyiv. Justing saying they can always go deeper even without using nukes. No one is going to do anything additional beyond words. Of course Ukraine will be armed (until trump is elected), but there will be no special response.


Conch-Republic

Jokes aside, they'll probably blow up another public building with innocent civilians in it. Reddit likes to take their threats lightly, but it's still Russia and they've been killing a shitload of Ukrainian civilians.


DisastrousAcshin

Ya? Are they going to gas Ukrainians? Rape, torture and murder them? Begin targeting civilian homes and buildings? Fuck Russian threats


iwantawolverine4xmas

They already double tap missile strikes to kill civilian rescue workers, so I guess they will triple tap them? Fuck Russia.


SecureDonkey

"I will use our nuke. For god's sake we really gonna nuke you this time. We are not bluffing, we really gonna do it. Maybe"


neohellpoet

I love the contrast with the US. Where Russia keeps crying nuke, the US stated clearly that a nuclear strike against Ukraine would cause a large conventional response from the US. There are no threats of retaliatory nuclear strikes, because if the situation calls for a nuclear response, the option still exists, but if it doesn't the US doesn't look weak, because it doesn't have to backpedal*. Nuclear deterrent only works if the conditions are clear and if a threat to use them is dead serious. Running their mount cost Russia the most useful capability of their most expensive weapons system.


GonnaTossItAway

Backpedal.


The-Copilot

Never make a threat you aren't going to carry out. I have no doubt the US will follow through in any threats it makes. The US doesn't usually make direct threats. They use implied threats. The US will do things like parking a carrier strike group off the coast of a nation and then attempting diplomatic talks. The other nation is well aware that it is there and the implications, so there is no need to saber rattle. It also allows more friendly talks because the talks will be more respectful when one side isn't threatening to attack the other. There is a reason that the US is allied with something like half of all nations, while Russia has no formal allies.

Spirited_Ingenuity89

Kraxnor

Ty, I spent 30 minutes reading that whole page. So badass


WarOnFlesh

russia has a land connection to crimea from the weest of the Azov Sea. They have a lot of land secured. The bridge is nice, but not the only way to drive supplies into crimea. that being said... please blow this bridge up


h_adl_ss

It's a much longer drive though. Yes it won't cut off Crimea completely but it'll put more strain on the supply lines.


Earlier-Today

The key thing about the bridge is the rail line going across it. Sending tanks and other military vehicles to the front by truck is ridiculously slow and inefficient. Russia's supply lines rely heavily on rail transport.


Ramental

It is not as much a question whether the bridge can be destroyed, but whether it makes sense. Were the summer push of Ukraine to Azov in 2023 to be successful, the bridge would be a life-and-death question for russia, but it is not at the moment. And the US delaying for 5-6 months had been bad enough that not only Ukraine couldn't hope for a new push in 2024, it had to retreat from some territories, and now the support of 2025 is in question, giving the sexual abusing orange guy still being in the poll lead. There might be better targets for ATACMS and Scalps than a symbolic bridge that will get fixed in 2 months without much disruption. I still think it will be disabled somewhere this year, but it will be a victory for the morale rather than strategic one.


Wanna_Know_More

Transport of land supplies via truck is far more inefficient, and such supplies are well within range of Ukraine strike capabilities. It will not solve Russia's issues with Crimean resupply if the bridge goes down.


Ramental

Intercepting a truck from 100 km is beyond the reasonable efforts. Given there can't be a new push until 2025, that is enough time for russia to expand the railway network, which it had already started some time ago. The toughest battles happen close to Donetsk, occupied from 2014 and which had always had a rail connection to russia for the last 50+ years. It would be funny if Ukraine would keep destroying russian AA systems in Crimea while never striking the bridge, forcing other objects in russia to stay defenseless.


Wanna_Know_More

It isn't beyond reasonable efforts at all. It can be done with drones carrying light explosive munitions, and Ukraine has displayed a remarkable reach with such drone attacks. The rail line from Rostov-on-don will also be well within strike range whenever they're able to finish the connection. Currently it only runs through Mariupol. We'll see how easily they can build it up and maintain it over the next year, but it won't be a simple matter in a warzone.


Keeper151

>Currently it only runs through Mariupol. We'll see how easily they can build it up and maintain it over the next year, but it won't be a simple matter in a warzone. Ouch, that sounds like a primary target for logistical strikes once Kerch is eliminated. If you look at the content of the recent US aid package, it's very heavy on ammo and vehicles. If the US military was intelligent (and they can be *very* intelligent when they make the effort) those supplies have already been staged in Germany or Poland. Lead with a massive drone strike, we're talking ~100 heavy lift drones loaded with 20 to 30 kilos of C4 each, follow up with a couple/few HIMARS cluster munitions a week, and that hub is done for. You'd never repair the damage of the leading strike when you have heavy grade cluster munitions dropping out of the sky every day or two (or three, or four, or a few hours apart, who knows? Gotta make it interesting!). You'd have to make the repair crews work at gunpoint, which only ups the casualties when the clouds start speaking submunition. Clearing even one derailed or disabled train from the lines is multiple days of around the clock effort. Then drop a few hundred submunitions into the middle of that effort. Now you're clearing bodies, clearing the equipment brought in to clear the derailed train... it's a compounding logistical and manpower nightmare.


PyroIsSpai

If Ukraine can take it down at low operational cost why wouldn’t they?

Doesn't stop the proponents of "family values" from rooting for him as if he is the 2nd Jesus.


BGRommel

This boggles my mind. Trump is a person of terrible character. Openly terrible. How he somehow is seen as moral is beyond belief for me.


PessimiStick

Conservatives don't actually care about morals at all. The bible is a tool to be wielded against those they view as lesser. Whatever the conservative does is good, and moral, and whatever the "other" does is bad and immoral, the bible says so right here! This still holds even if the actions are identical, because it's the person that is moral, not the action itself. Once you realize that all conservatives are unserious people who only care about themselves, they are a lot easier to understand.


Kootenay4

To these people the rules of “family values” only apply to women.


ytmnic

I think you’re underestimating the value of the moral victory for Ukraine, or more likely the moral defeat of Russia

There’s simply no way that any country could *ever* hurt the Moskva, much less a country with no navy at all! God, that never stops being funny.
