“The Nazis started the war with the childish illusion that they would bomb everyone, but no one could bomb them.
In Rotterdam, London, Warsaw and about 50 other cities, this naive theory has been fleshed out.
They have sown the wind and now they are reaping the storm” – © Arthur Harris.
General Harris, nicknamed “Bomber”, commanded a bomber regiment of the British Royal Air Force and made this statement in 1942. After about 1,000 bombers dropped 35,000 tons of bombs on Cologne, killing more than 20,000 people.
For almost three years before that, German aviation had been dropping with near-impunity over European cities and razing them to the ground, while the Allies managed to inflict only minimal damage.
Cologne was just the beginning, followed by Hamburg, Dresden and almost every major German city.
In total, as a result of the bombing, more than half a million German civilians were killed, and the cities were left in ruins.
Today, Ukrainian artillery has been leveling the Russian city of Shebekino for the whole day.
Before that, there was the flight to Moscow and the raid on Gryvoron.
The razing of Kharkiv, Kherson, Nikolaev, Izium, Bakhmut, Lisichansk, Severodonetsk, Popasna, Marinki and hundreds of other Ukrainian cities to the ground is simply not chosen by the Russians.
This is not a one-time event.
Ukraine will continue to “mariupolize” Russian cities until the last Russian flees from its territory. And may continue even after that.
Until the Russians agree to peace, on any terms.
All the time, the extent of the destruction of Russian cities and the distance from the Ukrainian border to these cities will only increase.
War is not a one-sided game. When you shoot, you should know that you will be shot back.
The Russians have forgotten this simple truth, and the Ukrainians will remind it so thoroughly that we will not forget it for many decades to come.”
