Look at the map. Odessa is on the other side of the Dnieper River. The Russians could get on the other side. The problem is logistics. The Ukrainians will attack any Pontoon Bridges they'll build.
No doubt that Musk’s shining his Twitter spotlight on Nuland helped lead to her downfall, as she’s ALWAYS preferred keep as low a profile as possible.
Hopefully Musk makes some more similar moves, and that leads to an end to the war and, this time, A REAL PEACE.
Or Russia could just screw it up, like they’ve done with the last 2 years of war

Notice how Yahoo and other leftist outlets never label anyone on the Left as "controversial". Only people who dare to question prevailing Leftist policies and propaganda get the pejoratives and smears.
Well, duh. Russia is the biggest country in the world and has been genocidally erasing its smaller neighbor for two years now. Happy Easter to all the “Christian” fans of Putin’s Nazi regimed Russia.
Who thought it was a good idea to go to war with Russia while giving Russia air superiority?
It’s Yahoo, so “controversial” means something that is well thought out and contrary to leftist idiocies.
I believe he is telling the Ukes they should enter peace talks to keep Odessa.
He is probably right but it may be too late for that.
Would someone tell Zelensky that Ukraine is not an ally and we owe them nothing.
The Russia camp talks about Odessa because Russia tried to take it in 2014 during the Crimean annexation and seizure of eastern Ukraine and failed. Afterwards Ukraine fortified the entire Odessa region.
Let's not forget the entire operation to capture Crimea and Eastern Ukraine was not a Ukrainian separatist movement as Russia claims. It was an entirely a Russia run and manned operation lead by FSB colonel Igor Girkin. Girkin was convicted for "promoting extremism", when his real crime was calling out the Russian government for its failures.
Russia wants Odessa to gain direct access to the Black Sea. It would take a major offensive to take it, on scale of the initial invasion to take Odessa. Instead of attacking, Russian propaganda acts like the might of the Russian army is, about it, can at will, etc. take it, or Ukraine is going to, about to, must, etc. surrender Odessa to Russia.
The facts are the Russia army has not made one move to advance on Odessa since the Kherson offensive. The only Russian offensive toward Odessa is in words, not action.
It’s a more realistic view of reality. If there was a desl 2 years ago would Russia have the gains that it currently has? Are they going to give back all the gains that this sacrifice has yielded? Most likely not. If this keeps going will they eventually have more gains? In all likelihood. If those gains are achieved will they negotiate them away? Unlikely. So if you concede now it’s more likely than not that you can hold more land than 2 years from now. It may not be true but it is certainly a realistic way of thinking of it.
Yes. Musk is interesting subject.
Brilliant real world engineer. (except the whole EV idea, too many battery issues and economic cost issues.)
So when did they start spelling Odessa with one “s” instead of two?
This Globalist â˜#Dem_Insanity Must End!
Musk seems to be a military expert.
