The situation has changed. With the North route cut, moving an hypothetical tactical nuclear bomb to Crimea or refresh troops is now much more difficult and dangerous. Supporting logistically the current Crimean troops with food or winter clothes is also much more expensive now





Sorry but that video is hilarious


> moving an hypothetical tactical nuclear bomb to Crimea or refresh troops is now much more difficult and dangerous

Eh, no, unfortunately not. Moving small numbers of small things is still easy. The big impact that this attack had is that moving lots and lots of very heavy things suddenly gets a lot harder.
