for little green men speaking Russian (albeit with an Ukrainian accent) to accidentally plant lots of C4 charges on the pylons to that bridge from Kerch' to Krym.

Only after the Ukraine navy manages to contract for any clearing of the shipping channels, of course. And clearly only in a truly bizarre example of synchronicity, such a contract being signed the morning of the "economic boom" that crippled Crimea.

I speculated a few days ago whether or not Putin's extremely low (for him) popularity ratings would be taken out in the near future on Ukraine or the Baltics. Now we know. He's merely ramped up more of the same tactics from the Donbas and nearby areas.
