Oh, well.

[McGavin999]

Let’s see them hold it

[BenLurkin]

The Russians have had the city for some time now. Have already started rebuilding.

That steel plant on the other hand, it’s going to be many eyars before it returns to operation.

[Deo volente]

Quick, send another $40 billion. That should do the trick.

[Erik Latranyi]

Isn’t the media saying Ukraine has driven Russia out?

[Kazan]

The media and neocons are claiming this was an evacuation. lol

[Harpotoo]

I’m surprised they lasted this long.

[miserare]

Fancy that!

The blowhards here on FR tell us that Ukraine is winning this war.

Flash: Zelensky demands another fifty billion from Congress!

[frogjerk]

Let’s Go Brandon!

Ukraine surrenders to Russia in Mariupol

Ukrainians at Mariupol surrender after 88 days.

[Fido969]

Ok, no, they didn’t “surrender”. It was an “evacuation.”

[XRdsRev]

Those forces did what they were supposed to do. They diverted Russian assets away from other fronts for several weeks at a time when the Russians really could have used their troops in other locations. The writing was on the wall for those Ukrainians for awhile, there was not going to be any breakthrough to save them. Like ‘em or hate em, they did an excellent job of a undertaking a prolonged delaying action.

[Mr Ramsbotham]

Well, there it is. Nothing for it now but surrender to the inevitable.

[libh8er]

After months of devastation the Putinic Cult gets a much needed break. Enjoy it while it lasts ‘cause it wont be for long.

[CarolinaReaganFan]

As DM would say,clearly the attack on Mariupol has failed.
Soon Russians will be fleeing en masse while making the false claim of redeployment....
doesn’t Zelensky sound a lot like Monty Python’s black knight? “tis but a scratch”

On the bright side, the Ukrainian Prisoners will continue their choir practice, they'll be doing a lot of singing now that they are in the custody of the Russians.

Also those Russian speakers that were used as Human Shields and Hostages will be looking through a lot of newly assembled mug shots.

[AZJeep]

I do not believe this is true.
The Ukrainian surrendered their wounded ones, as they have no facilities to help them.
I believe the ~2,000 healthy ones are still fighting.

[ZULU]

It’s not over. Only a total idiot would rejoice at a murdering KGB thug who slaughtered thousands and weves nuclear weapons at us winning in a battle to seize a free country.

OR A RUSSIAN TROLL.

[M Kehoe]

Hi.

I could analyze this war from an Army War college perspective (i.e. strategic objectives, attrition, battle space management, logistics, personnel etc), but I won’t.

What I see here is it’s December 1962 and the Bears are playing the Packers.

At Lambeau Field it’s snowing and 10f.

It’s 5 minutes into the 3rd quarter and the Bears lead 3-0. Packers have the ball on their own 20yd line.

Game could go either way.

[dragnet2]

Let me guess, they want 50 billion to ensure the surrender is not temporary.

[StAnDeliver]

So Putlim sacrificed 1/3rd of Russia's infantry, for a city the size and population of Bakersfield, California.
