Ukraine
Might any members agree with me that the war that Russia is waging against Ukraine has now reached the point where it could be called a "Scorched Earth" policy?
With the inhuman destruction of civilian areas, homes, hospitals, schools and infrastructure it seems to me that Putin has no interest in taking over the country as an invader. He wants Ukraine to be a country that will be unlivable in.
Now by attacking nuclear power stations and Chernobyl he appears to wish, in addition to the above, to make the country a "no go" area for decades to come.

yes no danny
we are agreed
the allies ( secretly ) thought Oh that was good - let us see if we can do it again - what they sow they shall reap
and burn the heart out of germany
much more difficult in Germany than it was in Japan ( construction of buildings and lots of wood)
The intended aim - mass psychosis was not achieved

"Didn't we do the same thing to many cities during WW2...
The only city laid to waste by us in WW2 was Dresden...
As Abraham Lincoln said...
The Germans in retreat 1943 scorched the Earth back to Berlin...
Hamburg and Cologne were not rased to the ground as was Dresden. Also that was not the intent of the bombers/. The firestorm was an unseen event...
