    Here’s an interesting take I saw on it:

    “The way the Russian army fight is simple: Destroy everything in front with artillery and bombs, then send in infantry and tanks to handle the remaining resistance.”

    But, if they do that, they’ll probably end up destroying their own gas pipeline junction. And, because of sanctions, they might not even be able to repair that junction if it is destroyed. So, they either have to shoot themselves in the foot by using their normal tactics and destroy the junction with artillery, or they send their soldiers into the meat grinder without artillery cover, or they let Ukraine keep control of the junction proving Putin is weak.

      “…proving putin is weak the weakness of putin weak weak the putinweak yadda yadda yadda… weak…”

      Aren’t we all sick of this russian obsession with these metrics of constant paranoia, greed and inferiority complexes. A medieval overflowing waterless toilet, spreading infection all over the world, anything it touches.

      Not content with living in a pit of warped misery of their own making, they must drag whoever they can down with them.
