I believe the discussion revolved around Ukraine invading Russian territory. There would be no strategic advantage. Strikes against specific high value targets are a very different matter.

Imagine that, you invade a country, and are shocked when they push back.
That actually would be huge news, and is what I wondered about last week but was quickly told that it wouldn’t happen, Ukraine would only fight a defensive war and not attack targets in Russia itself.

True. I can see them justifying it by saying that the oil depot was used to provide supplies for the Russian invaders. It might be a weak response, but nothing like attacking a city in Russia.

I’m going to stop watching the war until this season is over, then binge all of it to catch up before next season starts.

It is good for the country feelings to do this.
I remember @Jolly (?) posting a story about the first US bombs to Tokyo. At the time, not much "war" value, but it really got the spirits up.

This attack has strategic value. The Russians are having fuel problems. This will just exacerbate that problem.

I knew it, the Ukrainians are going to end up marching down Main Street in Moscow.
Then we will all become supporters of Russia.

Perhaps because the Russian soldiers don't like what they are doing and don't give a rat's ass if Ukraine gets more weapons.

Saw somewhere in the news that Zelensky removed two Ukrainian Generals for being traitors. :man-shrugging:

The Ukrainian president accused the two officials of failing to do their duty and protect Ukraine.
He also warned that they "will all be punished," but said he did not currently have time to deal with them.
"Now, I do not have time to deal with all the traitors. But gradually they will all be punished," Zelensky said in his address.

They probably ran away saying, "Fuck it."
