    Ukraine has, almost single-handedly, changed the nature of war on planet earth. The days of huge land wars that use artillery followed by tanks is basically over. Big vessels, big planes, big troop concentrations are basically big targets for cheap drones now.

    The Russian people are slowly waking up to the consequences of their shithead leader Putin’s pointless war.

    The allies bombed Berlin for something like a hundred days in a row towards the end of the war. I wonder if Ukraine has something similar in mind?

      Honestly, Ukraine is being a lot more humane than the allies were. Ukraine isn’t carpet bombing entire cities. Of course, they have a 80 years of technological progress on their side. Nobody in WW2 could pinpoint strike a refinery or factory like they can today.

      Also, you can’t bomb someone into submission, and striking civilian targets is basically a waste of ammo as well as morally reprehensible.

        Sure you could pinpoint strike, that’s what dive bombers ( Stuka f.e.) or Frontline (A/B26,A20,B25) /fighter(p47) bombers were for
