      Or it will just harden resolve and fulfill the propaganda they have already been fed.

      When the only information you’ve bern given about the whole thing is that the west is aggressive towards Russia and you needed to invade to stop their aggression, getting bombed at home isn’t gonna make you question that. It’s just gonna make you believe it even more.

      Either way, it doesn’t really matter what Russians think about it. I love to see these strikes.

        The immediate impact of these strikes is in forcing Russia to commit air defense resources to protect places hundreds of miles from the front, that they’d otherwise have deployed against the Ukrainian offensive. Getting that for the cost of a few drones is a huge win for Ukraine.

        This didn’t happen before their sons, brothers, fathers, friends, boyfriends and husbands starting coming back missing body parts, with PTSD, dead or not even at all.

        Then suddenly explosives started falling out the sky on your doorstep after the above started happening and Ukrainian flags started randomly popping up places.

        I know it won’t convince all, propaganda is strong with the uneducated and those the regime directly made. But there are plenty who aren’t thick or have any particular loyalty to Putin.

      I don’t think Russians oppose the war. Everything I’m reading is somewhere between 75% and most, are for the war.

      Oh, and since the war started, Southeast Asia has boomed in Russian holiday-makers. So while their country invades another, its people are tanning on beaches in record numbers.

        This is like saying that 75% of people in New York and Los Angeles eat terrible pizzas, therefore 75% of Americans eat terrible pizzas

        It’s that level of ignorance

    This is the best summary I could come up with:


    For the third time in just over a week, Moscow has shut down major airports as a result of Ukrainian drone strikes on the Russian capital.

    Officials closed Vnukovo, Sheremetyevo and Domodedovo airports, which provide domestic and international flights for civilians.

    While officials with the Russian Defense Ministry said Ukraine was behind the attack, Ukrainian authorities have yet to confirm, according to the Associated Press.

    Ukrainian drone attacks have at least twice before caused shutdowns of all major airports in the greater Moscow area, disrupting and delaying dozens of flights.

    These shutdowns come amid a streak of near-daily Ukrainian drone attacks on Moscow and the surrounding region, the Associated Press reported.

    In return, Russian forces have repeatedly targeted Ukrainian grain storage depots, the Associated Press reports.


    The original article contains 172 words, the summary contains 126 words. Saved 27%. I’m a bot and I’m open source!

      In terms of tactics, it makes sense. I used to play loads of starcraft, easiest way to get an enemy off your front is to attack the command center.

    Have you ever been to Sheremetyevo?

    Best thing you could do is shut the fuckin place down, it’s held together with gaffer tape
