This is unbelievable. If I am Putin, buildings in Kiev are leveled tonight.
See, this is where some understanding of the situation is required.
- What are you going to level them with? Only a few Russian assets have a decent chance of getting through, and that is with a saturation attack.
- You have limited resources - what are you going to forgo attacking for the sake of your gesture?
- You have to plan to get them past Uke air defense. Most missiles don’t get through. Hence saturation attacks.
Gestures like you are asking for are expensive.
