Yes, I must've missed that post. They should know better than to assume Russia can't see them.

On a different note, I like how Russia is rewriting the rules how REAL MEN should fight, not America’s cowardly way of slaughtering civilians from 3km away before even landing somewhere!

Were it not such a tragedy (GR would need somebody to translate) I would take that as a joke.

After getting their fingers badly burned, trying urban tank/infantry attacks, the Russians have now adopted the Aleppo/Grozny tactic. Falling back, encircling, cutting off all utilities and then relentlessly pounding places like Mauripol (population a month ago 400,000) with artillery, rocket fire and bombing.

And Paphitis gets called a "general".

The only concern that decent humans should have is the loss of life by so many, Ukrainians as well.as Russians. It is such a tragic war that shouldn't have happened. We are indeed very lucky to live in the West and be able to express our views without hindrance and fear. This idiot that goes by the name of GR can be excused for his utterly stupid comments in view of his illness. I just hope he finds his family and pissess off from Cyprus. Taliban mentality isn't welcomed in Cyprus.

It looks to me you don't even know the basics of tactical wars.
Encircling cities, cutting off supplies, let those inside starve or get out, is a BASIC practice known to the most ignorant low level officers of every army. It's been applied for more than 2000 years.
The first city where the Aleppo/Grozny tactic would apply was actually Kherson. It didn't go on because they surrendered. It then happened in Marioupol. It's purpose is to show the rest of the cities what their fate will be unless they surrender.

You may think that's not a fair way to win a war, but the alternative -engaging in street war- is not an option for any attacking army because their odds in human lives is 10:1.

Well, the first sentence is what I suppose GR might class as abusive. You have no idea what I know or don't know on the matter. As, neither do I wrt yourself. Don't assume and if you have personal experience then do tell us about it. I'm sure folk are all ears.

My post though was in response to:

I would suggest that encircling a city with such a population and relentlessly pounding the place from well outside, until it's entirely flattened, (do look at the pics) shows that statement in the ridiculous and hypocritical light it deserves. Infantile histrionics. Excitement and pleasure oozing out of it.

The Russians seem to have initially done exactly as you say - engaged in street war. Their loses (well, if you believe the "propaganda" that is) were significant, so they've reverted to the current, well tried in Syria and Chechen, slaughter tactics.

BBC Shorts...

'You the Russian people are not our enemy,' Biden says

Realizing their folly, the West is now gradually backtracking on all social fronts after unanimously announcing the genocide of Russia only a month earlier! But you know what they say… once bitten twice shy!
The Russian people will NEVER forget… there’s no question about it, and you WILL pay for your genocidal crimes, evil West!


'We stand with you' Biden tells Ukraine,

Correction… you stood directly behind them and were shoving a huge cucumber up their arse… so tell it like it is you sinister old clown!


Biden: This battle will not be won in days or months

The battle is already over… what comes next is PARTITION so say hello to Novorossiya soon to be officially recognized by TWO permanents UNSC members while you wipe your nose and tears.


I had to recreate this next line from memory because I’ve lost the original, but this is what Biden pretty much said somewhere yesterday…

“A nuclear attack (by the US) under extraordinary circumstances is not off the table”

Even if Russia and China were to give you a head-start of 20 minutes, their hypersonic nukes will reach their targets before yours is even half way there, and then you’ve got to circumvent the S-400s that encircle the major Russian cities while yours are completely unprotected!

You're gonna get roasted old goat, so make your move! :lol:

How the tide turns...

The shortsighted criminal West had its little party last month thinking that they were unanimous and invincible, but the shit is only now starting to hit the fan!

"Russian general Yakov Rezantsev killed in Ukraine"

One or two seems unfortunate. 9? That sounds like carelessness.

I think this is the guy who told his men 4 days in that the "Special military operation" (aka invading a neighbour) was about to be concluded.
