    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.

            The Ukraine has captured all these vehicles and stuff from the Russians.

            Here's one thing I don't understand: Why don't the Russians destroy their stuff when they abandon it? It can't be so hard to set a truck on fire.

              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.

                    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.
