    “Army” is an overstatement; they assembled like 30,000 people for an attack on the (heavily fortified) second largest city in Ukraine.

    Well, 30,000 originally; they’ve been losing 1,000+ per day at times so it’s probably less than that now.

      “Under the leadership of General Syphilis and General Undiagnosed Sociopathy, we will run through the streets of this city, taking what we want.” “What do we want?” “Positive male role models and SSRIs, primarily. Check the pharmacies.”

    Imagine building your war strategy around the fact that an arbitrary limitation by your enemy won’t change if exploited to all hell.
