    Existing parts of Russia already border the Black Sea, is there a reason Sevastopol as a port is so highly valued? Like, can’t they make an artificial port or something off Sochi?

    Edit: on closer inspection there is already a city in that area that already has a fairly substantial port capacity: Novorossiysk. And it’s in Russia proper, no need to get all worked up over Sevastopol.

      That’s a good question. These strategic things always seem very arbitrary to me.

      But in this case I can imagine a big cartoonish radar working better from Sevastopol. Worth a war tho?
