re: #178 Fairly Sure I’m Still Obdicut

And instead, you think that we should be doing…

(crickets, tumbleweed, panning shot of empty parking lot where a dog barks briefly).

I can’t think of what else can be done. Crimea is good enough for RU right now to continue direct support for their Black Sea fleet. The time for RU to invade UKR is long past and really wouldn’t make sense to do so right now. UKR has the pipelines but that for RU oil and gas. UKR was already a RU puppet state and an invasion or direct annexation would only make it official. Why in the world would RU want to annex a nation and inherit another location with over half a population that would oppose them? RU would want to inherit that mess?
