have you ever wondered how come Russia hasn't tried to capture Odessa?

 

Odessa has the biggest urban tunnels network of anywhere, back in the days of the Ussr, there were anti-communists hiding down there, and the secret police sent to get them, got lost and stuck, more secret police were sent, who also got lost and stuck, and these two sets of secret police spent months chasing each other around, and shooting at each other. guess Russia doesn't want a repeat.

Meanwhile looks like Netanyahu will defy Biden and invade Rafah. US needs to end the unconditional support to Israel.

But yeah, there needs to be consequences applied by Israel's allies.
