As it seems that Putin’s current game plan isn’t going exactly as planned, there are still moves he could make to break the Ukrainian’s.
Terror!!!
Use of the same tactics that Russia used in Chechnya, indiscriminate carpet bombings, massed artillery barrages, letting loose the Chechen units.
But most ominous, use the thermobaric missile batteries that have been observed entering the Ukraine from Russia. A truly horrific weapon designed to lay down a cloud of vapor over a given area, and then ignites the cloud. Those those caught in the blast area if not incinerated will have the the very oxygen sucked out of their lungs. Or simply by laying siege to their bigger cities, and starving the population out!
Not the first time Russia has resorted to this weapon when dealing with the Ukraine!
The Ukrainian’s have a word that denotes it:
Holodomor meaning:
Genocide by starvation!!!Back in the ‘30’s Russia’s Stalin decided that the peasant class of the Ukraine was to be eliminated.
Literally!!!Quickly realizing that using bullets was cost inefficient and messy, it was decided to let them starve to death! It’s still debated about how many millions of Ukrainians died, but the estimate is around 4-7 million. Some by executions, some in labour camps, gulags, but most simply by starvation and neglect!
The Russian’s aren’t simply fighting Ukrainian’s enraged at the current invasion. They are fighting a people, who in living memory know what it means to be a vassal of Russia. A people who have probably heard family stories, of dead family members who were killed or starved to death,
It does give some explanation to some of the motivation for fierce resistance they are putting up.
