Well they do an awful lot of getting killed for very little territory.
No, there are maps you think are better.
They have fortifications all around. Seriously, Thermopylae, attacking down a narrower front doesn't help. And where is this amphibious assault you're alleging was planned as motive?
It's you that doesn't get it. You think Ukraine was using a balloon the size of several houses underwater undetected, rather than Russia just moving the explosives in by road.
Trying to evade the simple facts. What civilised country's media makes such threats?
Russia doesn't care, Crimean occupation is just an sideshow for hanging on to Sevastopol.
You need to familiarise yourself with international law. There's a place where it says that nothing stated within prevents a country taking necessary measures for self-defence. Of course a nation would need to justify that in court, i.e. democracy being invaded and annexed by a dictator. That said, the idea that Ukraine even could have done it is ridiculous and Russia's track record in this war and outstanding ICC arrest warrant suggests otherwise.
