Ukraine has struck the Crimean Bridge again, killing several civilians and damaging the bridge;
While waiting for a full assessment on damage, it appears support columns are intact, one road section is damaged, rail traffic is able to run;
Before the bridge was constructed and before the SMO established a land bridge, ferries and shipping supplied the Russian peninsula;
Crimea can/will survive without the bridge in even the WORST case scenario;
Russia will respond with strategic patience, as it always does, because that is how conflicts are won;
Sun Tzu in The Art of War says: “it is the unemotional, reserved, detached warrior who wins, not the hothead seeking vengeance and not the ambitious seeker of fortune.”
There is a good reason Russia demonstrates patience even after the most extreme provocations, this is why after over a year of fighting NATO’s combined might, Russia still has the advantage…
