   The Soviet War Strategy   
   15 Feb 23 07:32:16   
   
   From: andronicus451@gmail.com   
      
   Traditionally, the war strategy of charging on the entrenched enemy   
   was to send more soldiers as "cannon fodder" than the enemy has   
   ammunition.   
      
   This had already been proven inefficient in WW1, leading to a stalemate   
   position in which both (or all) sides entrenched themselves in concrete   
   bunkers and sent feeble flesh on concrete bunkers with machine guns   
   defending them.   
      
   It seems that Mr. Putin and his roundhead generals share the same   
   strategy they seem have worked for Mr. Stalin: send more soldiers   
   than the enemy can possibly kill (lacking ammo) and have the   
   "reliables" with guns at their back.   
      
   This makes me feel that I feel pity for the conscripts that couldn't   
   run away from Russia and drafting more than Mr. Putin does.   
   But this also probably makes us appear weak in his eyes.   
      
   But our job is not to kill as many Russians as possible, but to preserve   
   them as many as possible. This is what I believe in my prayers for the   
   only reasonable outcome of this unnecessary war: ceasefire and   
   peace negotiations, leading to a lasting peace agreement.   
      
   Russians are indeed men created in the image of God Almighty,   
   so it is a sin to kill any of them. But having families murdered, raped,   
   and buried in a mass grave is kind of awkward and requires saints   
   to endure.   
      
   In light of this, I see the Bucha massacre as a cousin of the Srebrenica   
   massacre, both of whose victims I am not worthy to speak.   
   I can only add my prayers to the list of those who pray that this   
   madness stops.   
      
   Bucha massacre sent the message that the entire Ukraine could turn   
   Bucha if Mr. Putin wins. Skyscrapers full of families and children   
   targeted in a "precision strike" by anti-ship missiles send another message:   
   the victim is guilty of defending themselves and only trying to survive.   
      
   And God forbid that.   
      
   in the name of the LORD Merciful, Almighty   
   Amen
