Rubble makes a very effective and defensible barrier.

Hiding in his bunker and I'm sure he's livid that Zelenskyy is being very well received worldwide. His temper tantrum has to be stopped.

All of the human death and suffering can never be repaid. But Russia at least needs to be saddled with the costs of rebuilding all of the massive economic damage they're causing.

Not to mention the human toll that has been taken. What a senseless waste. God, how much I hate that psychotic, evil bastard.

Even if they rebuild, it will never be what it was. All that history is gone forever.
