  1. The allied forces in world War two carpet bombed German women and children refugees killing thousands. In cities like Dresden . The civilian population was Churchill's main Targets . The US dropped nuclear weapons on two Japanese cities full of women and children.

  2. They gained Mariupol but lost Kharkiv and a few other cities. It is a zero sum gain along with a lot of dead solders and destroyed equipment. They have lost their ultimate goal through a long string of loses. The Russian army have gone through many generals and commanders with ultimate result which is failure as the Ukrainians are fighting a hit and run style defence and offence so they are hard to pin down. Putin is doubling down on the Ukrainian war by sending more equipment and solders all of which will end up the same way. With Belarus railway resistance fighters stalling the transport of equipment and with Ukrainians blowing up ammunition depots and equipment the situation is getting dire for Russias. This war cannot even be sustained for a year before Russia itself will fall into utter bankruptcy and chaos with the European sanctions, reducing consumption of gas and switching gas suppliers. All of which point to almost no money left in the bank to pay for this costly war on Ukraine with no real objective and no real monetary gain beside ruin. Against the odds.

  3. USA people evacuate when there is a wildfire but Ukrainians don't evacuate before war. The Russian military moves very slowly. Why are civilians not moving. Why are we not sending U-Haul's instead of bombs. Civilian's living is more important than killing Russians and protecting buildings. Or am I wrong and killing Russians are more important? What father/son keeps his wife/mother/daughter in a war zone? Please help me understand.

  4. I wonder. Why are so few likes? My be people see something different from what you trying to show. Just imagine how skilfully Russainarmy has to be to fire a mortar (''MORTAR')' shell at a speeding vehicle from 2 – 3 miles, can you imagine, hitting such a target from 3 miles. Or maybe it is RPG from about 200-300 m? Just asking, and as you know or not there are hundreds of Ukrainians killed by those militia groups which are 'DEFENDING'' Ukraine by robbing fugitives.

  5. The stuff these Russians do makes US conduct in Afghanistan and Iraq seem humane by comparison… I don't get how they can be so brutal towards civilians. On top of that, these are people closely related to them.
