Yet Ukraine still has secure comms and your idiot homies are using the equivalent of Bass Pro Shops Motorola Talkabouts. There has been report after report of the idiots using unsecured mobile phones or radios and there is no way you can deny it Moe.They don't necessarily need bombing runs if they have taken out most of Ukraine's communication and have long range missiles that can hit for any direction.
The initial surge on Kyiv was definitely meant to pressure 3elensky to surrender quickly. But once that didn't happen, it became a move to have Kyiv keep troops tied up in Kyiv instead of going to Donbas. That is a tactical feint how ever way you slice it. There is no way in anyone's playbook that 40k troops was ever supposed to take over a city the size of Kyiv without having a 3:1 advantage.
Russia is fighting this in a limited manner. They could turn 2022 Kyiv and Lviv into 2001 Grozny at no problem right now if they chose to.
These dumb azz Russians are in control of roughly 25% of Ukraine right now. If the Russians were so inept, NATO would have never gotten it to this point right now.So they get thier kids killed, lose billions in military assets and look like weak chumps on the world's stage.
I wonder what they'd look like if they were really just incompetent bufoons?
Staying in their own freaking country and not invading Ukraine and killing a bunch of people would have been the ideal solution but your man crush couldn’t manage that so here you are carrying water for him.Again, you tell me what is better: Retreat and fight another day or stand and fight to the death in an unwinnable situation?
isn't bombing dams and dykes a war crime?Oops... nevermind. Looks like they are gradually taking the gloves off now...
Russia removed its "moral block" in a special operation in Ukraine
Last night, the Russian Aerospace Forces launched rocket attacks on infrastructure facilities in a number of Ukrainian cities. Explosions thundered in Odessa, Nikolaev, Zaporozhye, Kharkov and Krivoy Rog. In Krivoy Rog, the target was the Karachunovskaya dam and pumping station. The water spill flooded part of Krivoy Rog, and damage to the pumping station deprived the city of drinking water. The authorities themselves had to blow up another dam downstream to divert water from the city.
Political scientist Ivan Lizan, commenting on the missile attack on a hydraulic structure, said that “Russia removed the moral block by this”:
“The blow to the Karachunovskaya dam was carried out within the framework of military logic. Due to the destruction of the dam, the water in Ingulets rose and several crossings made sense. We will have the opportunity to drive the enemy out of the bridgehead he had previously occupied,” Lizan said and added, “Previously, the Ukrainian authorities allowed themselves to nightmare the infrastructure of Donbass, Berdyansk and Melitopol, now, I hope, this is in the past”
Again, you tell me what is better: Retreat and fight another day or stand and fight to the death in an unwinnable situation?
