They tried that 18 months ago and the result was a large inventory of partially melted scrap metal of Russian origin.
You're Russian-English dictionary appears to have failed you here with respect to grammar.
On the content side, your comment has some validity until Ukrainain drones start taking out them mobile Rooshin ICBM launchers.
Are you forgetting about Kherson?
You got this license2lie from the shawoman??
Pin Pricks. Hopium. I don’t believe in Unicorns.
Each day inches closer to “ the last Ukrainian “. That was Biden’s promise, how long before the Ukrainian citizens realize they have been had?
“Pin Pricks. Hopium. I don’t believe in Unicorns.”
Then why do you believe that a pathetic and impotent Ruzzia can defeat Ukraine when it’s taken them nineteen months to be defeated in a ten day war?
Attacks on Russian civilians?
As far as we have seen the attacks are on military installations, arms production facilities or government offices (in Moscow).
As far as any hits on civilian targets it seems incidental, failures of guidance or the result of Russian attempts to shoot down or divert the drones. Note this is the same sort of excuse the Russians have been making since 2022. That Cathedral in Odessa say.
I think the Ukrainians are perfectly entitled to do as they have been doing, strictly on the grounds of fair play. They have a lot of ground to make up in terms of damage influcted on the Russians. They are owed a vast debt of destruction. The Russians should take their lumps, they have it coming.
Good point. I am going to look up how many casualties were actually caused by those V1 and V2 attacks.

Update on the conflict in Ukraine for August 31, 2023:
- The Western media is trying to spin Ukrainian gains within the security or “gray zone” ahead of Russia’s first of several defense lines as a “turning point” in the offensive;
- Ukraine’s offensive potential has been exhausted with the West struggling to find arms and ammunition to replace Ukrainian losses;
- The West is even struggling to pull together large numbers of antiquated and inappropriate equipment like the post-WW2 Leopard 1 tank;
- Meanwhile Ukraine continues conducting drone strikes in Russia, achieving questionable PR value and little else;
- A recent Ukrainian drone strike on an airport hosting Il-76 strategic airlift aircraft damaged 2. To put that in context, Russia operates over 100 of these aircraft and has production capacity to build up to 12 annually;
- Ukraine’s sponsors are unable to sustain the conflict “for as long as it takes,” and only for as long as they have arms and ammunition to supply Ukraine in sufficient quantities;

Ukraine destroyed 4 Il-76s and an S-400 system only within this week. These are systems, that Russia can not replace.
Then why do you believe that a pathetic and impotent Ruzzia can defeat Ukraine when it’s taken them nineteen months to be defeated in a ten day war?

Russia never has fought wars the way our current military has, never. Our DOD genius’s (and politicians) are just now figuring it out- attrition.
The Western military leadership ( and civilian populace) does not have the guts or resolve to fight a war of attrition. History shows Russia, China, Iran ( Iranian/ Iraqi war an excellent example) and a host of non western countries and factions ( Islam) wage war much, much differently.
Neither is engaging in a coup and turning it into an enemy of their neighbor, forcing said war. Americans who blindly listen to the MSM and believe Putin just woke up one day and decided to intervene in the Ukraine for no reason are tremendously naive.
Enough with the "coup." The Ukrainians rose up themselves to oppose Putin's attempt to turn Ukraine into a Russian dependency. Additionally, the last two presidents of Ukraine were elected by popular vote, not installed by some sort of CIA plan.
Putin just woke up one day and decided to intervene in the Ukraine for no reason are tremendously naive.
Obviously false. He has been lusting after Ukraine for years. He just saw an opportunity with a weak Biden.
The one where the prez of france, the chancellor of germany, and the sec of nato all admitted it. That one. Your version?
“The one where the prez of france, the chancellor of germany, and the sec of nato all admitted it. That one. Your version?”
No, they didn’t. Angela Merkel especially said what has been attributed to her were her words taken out of context.
Sadly, you can never get the pro-Russian crowd to back down on their talking points, even when they have repeatedly been shown to be false. Thus they continue to claim that Ukraine violated the Minsk agreements when in fact it was Russia.
I don’t wish death on any people, but when Christ comes back, all of this will look like a tea party for little tykes.
Why does mankind choose war of cooperation? Mostly because those in charge NEVER get hurt physically, and they ONLY get richer.
