  • I agree. By cheating you break the contract of blindly trusting each other and you can never trust a partner who cheated again. That’s why I don’t understand people who start a serious relationship with someone who is still in another relationship. You have a known cheater right from the start. Why would you do that to yourself?

    I actually only know one relationship personally that started like that where they are still together (almost 12 years now). But in that case the girl had already made up her mind but hadn’t gotten around breaking up with her high school sweetheart yet.
















  • I believe that to be true. The frontlines were not well established yet towards the end of 2022 so a push to take back Melitupol would have been possible if they had all the equipment that they used for their push in June 2023. But by then the Russians had dug in and mined the entire frontline and that push (predictably) failed and was abandoned as it would be too costly in lives to continue.

    That would have cut the land bridge, which in turn would have enabled the Ukrainians to make Crimea an untenable position (no land bridge, closer to the Kerch strait bridge).

    So yes, having the necessary equipment before the Russians were dug in would’ve made a massive difference imo. Not saying they would have retaken it, but their odds would have been a lot more favourable.
