Time to get back Crimea.

Ditto!
I have winter jackets, hats, gloves, sweaters, and more dress shirts than I’ll ever need in my semi-retired state. XL in the jacket, sweaters, and ~17 shirt size. Likely have other stuff to contribute and Mrs Furnace will likely have some too.
HW, if there are specific needs let us know…I guess the Ukrainian community might have a complete list of needs? Edit, looks like Women in Need Society is taking anything.

Wasn't there some dam that people were worried would flood Kherson if blown up? I hope someone is keeping an eye on that.

Crimea is considered fair game for HIMARS use. |
I'd be pretty surprised if they brought their HIMARS that close to the front. The big benefit of them is that they can largely be out of range for Russian artillery, and where they're not they can move away before any return fire happens. But to hit any part of Crimea they'd have to be basically right at the river which would be a huge gamble for little benefit.

Given the performance of the UA forces thus far, I doubt they overlooked that detail especially with their NATO commander buddies watching their backs.

I was wondering if anyone ever heard from Pointman. I wonder if he made it to Israel or if he is still in Kazakhstan. Hopefully he didn’t have to go back to Russia.

Is this thread going to be the first one on CP to ever get to 1,000,000 views? I think I might be responsible for a good 25% of them.

That would be the Kakhovka Hydroelectric dam which runs over the Dnipro River, but blowing that would also cause coolant to stop flowing to the Zaporizhia nuclear power plant and that's one disaster Russia wouldn't be able to handle.

Yeah I hope Point is doing well and got out safely. On more amusing notes I wonder how Baron is doing. Is the Russia master plan for Kherson going as planned? They still have Ukraine fixed right where they want them?
