Ukraine says its forces may pull out of key strategic city of Bakhmut - ABC NewsBakhmut gone - yes! But interesting to reflect on Uk mindset.
1) The Uks say:
""We're not going to sacrifice all of our people just for nothing."
The battle for Bakhmut has come to embody Ukraine's determination, with the city's defenders holding out against relentless shelling and Russian forces suffering heavy casualties."Hang on a mo though - but you have already sacrificed heaps. It was your "determination" that appears to have led to this sacrifice. So, are you no longer "determined"??
2) The Uks then say:
"The city lies in ruins and "no longer has strategic or operational significance", he said.
"In Bakhmut, the Russians lost so many forces — soldiers and equipment — that this city has already fulfilled its function," Mr Zhdanov said."
OH! So because it lies in ruins it no longer has "strategic or operational significance"?? Amazing. Pull the other one!
Also, you are trying to say that the only idea behind you fighting the Russkies in Bakhmut was to kill as many of them as you could and now that many have died there the city "has fulfilled its function"???? So THAT was your objective all along! Are we living on ze same planet? Could you not have come up with a more realistic reason like "the Russkies were more determined and better than us"??
