Failure and collapse in war starts sometimes starts slowly, but it never remains a slow, predictable or containable process for long.

There is literally nothing russia can do at this point but shit their pants and pace back and forth nervously.

The fear is integral to the military impact, so is the anticipation, why do people not understand this? Secrecy when unnecessary makes things more dangerous because it means that the entire thing must be done to have impact whereas if you point out the possibility of something before you do it you begin to project power without having to even act or take that particular path in reality. With secrecy, possibility has no inherent power, that is the trade off.

The thing is russian military higher ups know an amphibious operation/invasion of Crimea is a real possibility, they don't need a random youtuber to tell them.

This video doesn't include secret time tables or information that would actually blow the cover of a real specific operation, it makes it so the idiots who think russia can hold Crimea begin to get more and more nervous and demand the higher ups explain how russia can hold Crimea when the higher ups themselves know it is impossible longterm.

Our chief weapon is fear. Fear and anticipation. Our two weapons are fear, anticipation and secrecy. Our three weapons...
