In reply to the discussion: Zelenskyy Is Going To Retake Crimea Without A Land Invasion [View all]ToxMarz
(3,184 posts)20. Zelenskyy has this modern warfare thing down to a science.
He is reinventing modern warfare much to the chagrin of the 'superpowers'. But like Drumpfs war with Iran, you can only get so far with "bombing the shit out of people". Once all they have left to defend is their lives and you are still defending your way of life you have everything to lose and you are going to lose. You can't defend wealth and extravagance against people backed against a corner fighting for their existence.

No, not anymore. Which is probably why Trump is abandoning them, but there was talk of him wanting a Trump Tower in

If there was a Trump Tower in Moscow I bet it would have already been hit by a drone. Or just blown up from it's base

Any reports of Russian troops leaving Crimea? Once the civilians are gone any troops will be sitting ducks
