Russia warns US to brace for retaliation after Crimea missile attack
Moscow summoned the U.S. ambassador to issue a formal warning, and Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov issued a biting public comment blaming the U.S., calling the strike 'barbaric.'
Don't start nothing, won't be nothing.
He's been out there to Dover already when it was nothing during this WW3.
Though he did leave his watch to home.

"It is painful situation, said Piddubnyi. “Ukraine really loses a lot, but also the problem is that Russia is still gathering huge profits from exporting oil and gas.”
The Kyiv School of Economics estimated last month that rebuilding Ukraine’s damaged energy infrastructure would cost $50.5 billion, factoring in new measures to improve its resilience against further attacks. That’s the equivalent of the entire hard-won loan backed by the profits of frozen Russia assets Ukraine was recently promised, but it may not see that money for months. The G7, having already spent $3bn to date to support Ukraine’s energy sector, just announced another $1bn in funding in early June.
And Piddubnyi points out that calculating the true cost of rebuilding, while attacks continue, is impossible. “There is a clear uncertainty of how many more power plants will be destroyed by Russians,” he said.
Ukraine’s energy ministry says it has been building concrete shelters to protect some energy equipment from attacks. But more advanced air defense systems are the only way to protect entire power plants and prevent the reconstruction bill from spiraling higher.]]]

Ukraine struck the NIP-16 Deep Space Communications site in Vitino, Crimea on Saturday, one of two attacks it carried out on the occupied peninsula over the weekend.
Those strikes were carried out by U.S.-made Army Tactical Missile System (ATACMS) short-range ballistic missiles, Russian and Ukrainian sources claim.
The first attack over the weekend struck a space communications facility where there about 20 radar dishes, with some arrays packing eight dishes combined in giant fixtures. Low-resolution satellite imagery obtained by The War Zone shows that it was indeed attacked. However, the quality of the images makes it is hard to determine the exact extent of the damage. One was taken on June 22, before the attack, and the other after on June 24.
...
After it was seized by Russia following the 2014 takeover of Crimea, it was turned over to its Aerospace Forces, which began the modernization of the facility, the Ukrainian Defense Express news outlet reported.
“As of 2017, reports stated the center had received 10 new systems and the upgrading was still proceeding,” the publication continued. “The initial plan was to spend 1.8 billion rubles on the reconstruction of one radio telescope alone: at the exchange rate of that time, cost about $28 million.”

[[[In the wake of Thursday’s attack, Kyiv’s intensive lobbying efforts finally looked to be paying off. Romania agreed, after months of deliberation, to send a Patriot air defense system to Ukraine. And a senior White House official told CNN that Ukraine was being given top priority for US shipments of advanced air defense capabilities, ahead of some other countries. Those deliveries should start this summer.
Sakharuk, who spoke to CNN before the seventh wave of strikes on energy facilities on June 20, said he would like to see deliveries of air defense munitions specifically to protect energy facilities.
He admits keeping up morale among employees is a major challenge. “They see that they are in a type of cycle where they repair an energy facility and Russia finds out that it’s being repaired, and (it is) again destroyed.”
“In some cases, the workers did this three to four times already.”

Still waiting for someone to successfully convince me that the US should care about a war over land 6000 miles away.
You'll grow old, gray, and you will die, n, before that ever happens.
This is about besting Putin, winning a "Larry O'Brien" trophy so you can spite the loser on-the-spot. (We) couldn't resist for all the rice in China.
Why would anyone bother to try?
You may not be chicken , clammy, but you definitely have hen house ways, sonny.
