#1 The Russians withdrew.
The spit is part of the Mykoliav Oblast (district), and not part of the Kherson Oblast which was annexed by Russia.
It is also within easy artillery range of the Ukrainian "mainland" which means any Rus troops stationed there would be under constant attack.

I would not expect the Ukrainians to exploit this much beyond landing, taking selfies and beating a hasty exit. Staying means coming under Russian artillery and no land supply routes.

#6 As coupons are festively scissored
By candlelight during a blizzard,
Will widows and orphans
Keep warm on endorphins
From yesteryear's highs, wonders wizard?

Seriously, you financial types, are hypothetical folks who bought LUKOY and GAZP(?) as touted here by certain parties back spring-ish still collecting those sweet dividends?

#7 'Course we still have Joe around. But he really isn't a troll. More like a mental patient that screams random things while slamming his head into a brick wall.

#8 I console myself with the possibility that our absent friends are in a trench on the Donetsk front, freezing their cojones off.
