Claims of Ukraine using a cluster ATACMS to strike a beach in Crimea. Several wounded and killed reported, and the usual RQ-4 in the área which later retreated and started to fly in between airliners to the west after the strike

The target was a Russian radar sight right next to the beach. IMO you took a risk going to a beach next to an obvious target.Russia will probably have to escalate after this one.
You're assuming the public knew the radar was there in the first place (I don't think radar locations are public information), and they probably won't care about it in their outrage anyway. I guess we'll see with time if Russia can still stomach such events.The target was a Russian radar sight right next to the beach. IMO you took a risk going to a beach next to an obvious target.

That "right next to the beach" is doing a lot of heavy lifting considering the beach in the video is more than 3km aways from the radar station.
Maybe they'll start dropping US drones in the Black Sea and attack more power stations, but nothing beyond that. The goal of the US with these terrorist attacks, is to get Russia to escalate, because the attrition overwhelmingly favours Russia. In the meantime, Russia is pounding Ukrainian military targets day in day out. Only a matter of time before the contact line starts to collapse. In my opinion, this is a small price to pay, as long as the political situation is held in place.Russia will probably have to escalate after this one.
