Russia-Ukraine Megathread 31(upload.wikimedia.org)

There’s no need or benefit to using US-style strategies. Russia pinned down the Ukranian army in the west and (probably) destroyed their ability to redeploy to the east. Destroying civilian infrastructure benefits the US because they can then use the IMF to put the country into debt bondage. Ukrainian civilians are blameless in this, the Ukrainians voted for a candidate that promised peace with Russia and the Donbas who then did a full 180 and escalated the shelling and attacks instead. I even have sympathy for the common soldiers since about eight years ago they refused to start shooting and running over their countrymen in the Donbas. That’s why the post-Maidan Kiev regime started using the fascist paramilitaries we have now, because they were willing to follow orders kill anybody.

Which city bombings in particular are you taking issue with? Mariupol has been the city most heavily shelled but it’s part of the Donbas and Azov was heavily entrenched there. The fuel and ammo depots that were bombed in other cities would have been used by the Ukrainian military to try to reinforce the forces in Donbas. Ukrainians are reloading their artillery in malls, mustering infantry in schools, and encouraging every man, woman, redditor, and child to become partisans. Russia can’t do anything about the Ukrainians shelling Russian occupied areas without shooting back, that’s just what war is.
