1. Does anyone know why striking Crimea seems like an important goal for Ukraine? I understand there are military targets, but does anything make it more important than military targets in Russian territory?

2. I wonder if the Ukrainian government knows about some illegal structure in the South-East of Crimea. It was built without proper permits from the Urkainian government and ought to be demolished.

   Those new long range ATACMS might help them.

3. The profile picture of the author shows her wearing a shirt with a Nazi symbol. Bad look for Ukraine.

4. One way or another that bridge needs to come down. It would be great if the inbound side could be dropped so it would freak out all the civilians and they could leave the island and then maybe a week later drop the other side.
