Tourists?!?! What is wrong with these people

[–] c0c0c0@lemmy.world 10 points 1 year ago

Well, they are Russians. Where else are they going to go. Vladivostok? Arkangel?

The level of apathy that's been cultivated in Russia is truly astounding. That's starting to look like a very double-edged sword for the leadership, now that they want to fight a major war.

Yeah, what the hell!

Come visit Crimea! A beautiful coastal paradise where you can wait in huge traffic jams to drive over a bridge that could explode! And while you sit on the beach you can watch your fellow countrymen get smoked by storm-shadows. You may have to evacuate at any time!

Can't wait until Ukraine just blasts the hell out of the bridge with a few storm shadows and then wipes out every Russian military unit in Crimea that can no longer retreat effectively.

ruscists are doing this just to prevent/delay the AFU from blowing the bridge.

[–] Valmond@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Are they subtle enough to use delay tactics? I mean obvious illegal ones but still?

I wonder what they are buying with the time if it is so?

[–] Grant_M@lemmy.ca 2 points 1 year ago

They just need to keep the bridge up for when the southern counteroffensive reaches Melitopol or Berdiansk. That bridge will be the only way for the ruscists to resupply, or escape.
