Point of view: Ihor Kruk: Whoever wants peace, better prepare themselves for war Pieces of the military puzzle falling into place: - Russians are destroying the Ukrainian navy because in the new iteration Ukraine will be landlocked and will not need one. This is not just random vandalism, but premeditated. -In the short term , without warships Ukraine cannot invite the US or NATO to participate in training exercises in the Black Sea. - looking at the new landlocked map it becomes clearer why the Yanik govt last year organized the relocation of regional military commands out of Odessa and Lviv, and whose agenda was/is at play. If we want to see what poutine/Ukraine will do next, lets continue to join the dots.... - in a landlocked iteration Ukraine will only be left with an aviation military industrial complex, and no munitions factories or tank building complexes. - reports have been made that elite Russian paratroops have been stationed in transdniester recently, while all eyes were on Crimea. - the Ukrainian population will continue to suffer economic hardship as all foreign funds received will be directed to military development. - the landlocked iteration of Ukraine leaves virtually no industry - factories, mines,and prime agricultural land will be gone. What agriculture prdiction is left will have to get to ports over Russian controlled land, or take a lengthy train journey to the North Sea, and risk shrinkage along the way. - interesting repercussions for those lands whose futures production has already been leased to other countries, eg Arab states, China. How much will they be willing to defend their food supply? On a positive note, perhaps France will allow the warships ordered by Russia to be bought by Ukraine? Is the destruction of old naval stock actually a favor ? Perhaps some of our colleagues/acquaintances who have military experience could provide further commentary.......
