    The Kremlin doesn’t seem to have the power to do anything about it… the other bridgehead has been there for what, two weeks?

      Yeah. Russia has attacked the first bridgehead repeatedly for the last pair of weeks to no avail. They don’t seem to have the resources for dealing with these and bridgeheads are very difficult to maintain, which really means Russia should be able to. But as proven time and time again, they are not the force everyone thought they were. Still dangerous, but nothing even approaching a super power.

      A literal bridgehead! There isn’t a way to destroy it shot of a Moab or tactical nuke.

        Yeah they’re dug in right under the actual structure. I wonder what the second bridgehead is doing for defense from artillery?

      Gee, if only the Russians had some kind of big giant dam they could blow up to flood the bridgeheads out. Instead of having preemptively blown it up back when only Russian soldiers were dug in to the floodplain that these Ukrainians are now establishing themselves in.

      We’re very lucky they’re so fucking stupid.

        Wow I hadn’t even put 2 and 2 together. I was wondering why the Kremlin didn’t have better defenses in that area… because they flooded them
