>>More Russian fighter bombers on fire at Belbek tonight.<<

Are you talking about Baalbek in Syria where the largest temple, dedicated to Baal, is located (constructed by the Romans)? I visited the sight as a tourist in 1972 and almost fell off my camel. I have a B&W picture made with a Rolleiflex on 120 Agfa film. Was too poor to use color.

Crimea is a legit target for ukr but, their attacks will have no more effect on the outcome of the war than nazi V2 missile attacks hitting england a couple of weeks before the end of WW2. Also the russkies have occupied crimea since Catherine the great bought it from the ottoman turks in the 1700s. It has russia’s most important ice free naval base, which is super important to the russians. It was operated as russian naval base even after it was claimed by ukr, I think russia paid for leasing it. Russia will go nuclear before giving up their most important naval base. Ukr is not getting it.
