1. They would have had more success erecting trebuchets to hurl orcs at the wall then the giant steaming turd of a plan they used.

2. I can no longer open pages from this source.

3. Looking forward to the next eerily similar offensive by the Rush-ins.

4. Not the battie of the Seelow Heights this time then, although at that point in 1945 they outnumbered the German forces 10:1 with Soviet fronts which had 2,500,000 men, 6,250 tanks, 7,500 aircraft, 41,600 artillery pieces and mortars, 3,255 truck-mounted Katyusha rocket launchers and 95,383 motor vehicles.

5. Yet the one soldier kept climbing. What was he thinking?

6. seems like these human wave attacks are based on Stalin’s idea that “quantity has a quality all it’s own”. Perhaps that still works, but not when the opponent has a superior quality of firepower.

7. When you think russians did something so stupid that they’ll never top it, they surprise you.

8. I am calling it now, they will try hitting mt. Coalfuckyourself for at least two more days before giving up.
