Successor military leadership and the attack on the major link between Russia and the Kriim have grave indicators backing the observation that while it may appear the Russian is backed into corner with limited options, make no mistake, there's more to come.
That the military operative from al-Asad's civil fray has certain experiences which will factor into a more strategic series of circumstances than what the Ukrnaine offered will produce leads to revealing new objectives. This remains to be seen.
Also in view is the circumstances that the Russian is already calculating how to move from tactical to strategic, since it is already evident certain capabilites are already on the move to secure the next objective: but what might that be? We'll have to wait for that.............
