Having seen the devastation, I can hardly fathom the titanic effort that brought this wonderful accomplishment. I am so happy for them.

I honestly don't believe it. I don't care though since it makes Putin look even less ineffective than he already is.

The history of strategic bombing shows dropping bombs on civilians paradoxically tends to increase rather than degrade morale, and an attitude of "fuck the procedure, just get it working" tends to expedite a lot of repairs.

To wit, there's records of German factories in WWII being more productive the month after being bombed compared to the month before.
