Russia Uses Scorched Earth Tactics and Floods Its ‘Own’ Territory
If you want to know who blew up the dam and electric station, just ask the history books (Hint: 1941)
As the world of Vladimir Putin lists to the port side and the bow, not unlike the great Titanic, the plates and soup bowls from the Kremlin’s kitchen cupboard can be heard sliding one by one onto the highly-polished floors. Panic is setting in.
Russia’s desperation is growing by the hour. The recent claim that six mechanized Ukrainian battalions were destroyed was so easily discerned to be a crock of steaming “Kremlin truth” — yes, folks, you are seeing the unveiling of a new word in the English language to replace “bullshit” — that even Moscow’s lapdogs, the military bloggers, couldn’t go along. Many wrote about how critically close the army is to collapse after the brutal winter assault against Bakhmut.
Figuring out when the Kremlin is lying about success on the battlefield is quite easy. The PR folks over at the Defense Ministry were way too prepared with the photos showing destroyed and smoldering Ukrainian tanks. Press releases with numbers of dead and disabled equipment were too detailed.
Trust me, because I worked with a lot of the types of knuckleheads now pushing the bogus Kremlin…
