Yep, even the air raid sirens have stopped working. No electric, no water. Ukraine’s “blitzkrieg” was no match for Russia’s scorched earth.

Apparently power was only out for an hour in most places.

And keep in mind, this “scorched earth” strategy is centered on Kharkiv and areas the Russians claimed they were “liberating.” IOW, they’re terrorizing the population they claim was on their side all along.

I am kind of wondering if and when Russia touches off an EMP over the Ukraine.

Would kinda be curious to see how well that would work.

Kiev water and power

Total war

Not like the two civil wars I’ve witnessed

Ukraine took a hit in Kherson and zero gain

They then hit further east and Russia withdrew

Freepers claim total victory as usual

I doubt it

Russia has soft pedaled this war outside the east

Kiev is barely hit with water and power rarely off

I think Russia has commited 20% of war power to this war and being under a micro scope of agit prop they’ve been soft by Russian standards

Uke have suffered serious troop losses and we equip and I think manage them

Their blood our cash

Ukes admit Kherson cost them 5x Russian casualties

For nothing

We shall see

Russia will counter or move on

If they binned Kiev like they did Grozny it’d be over in days

But ironically politics have them on that I think

Usually it’s us in that position though we sure reduced Baghdad more

Twice

USA tactics is historically to take urban cities and declare political victory while the foe runs to the hills or jungle to wait us out

Russia usually tries to grind down the enemies fighting capacity

Two mindsets

Full bore no political considerations and for Ukraine it’s hopeless

So we’ll see how far Russia pushes this limited war to accomplish their goal

The east

No nato

Maybe the cake boy oligarch ring purged

Odds sure favor them
