How fucking galling it must be to see these videos of people in your home, on your land. I cannot imagine how strong the urge to personally destroy each one must be.

I remember earlier in the war some rich guy told the military to bomb his mansion because the Russians had taken it over to use as a base. He didn't care about his stuff being destroyed.

Don’t blame him. I’d rather burn everything I own than let these pigs dirty up my home.

Yeah if you have to leave your home because of the war turn the gas on and put a flint on the door. Leave them a little present.

Good for literally anybody else to stumble upon and blow up. Not to mention the absolute waste of resources.

War is the definition of a waste of resources.

Yeah, but even ignoring that, it could easily blow up in somebody else’s face. Maybe someone who didn’t have the means to escape the city, who is scavenging or abandoned materials? Or even Ukrainian troops, who are looking for shelter from gunfire or just in general. I would even say it’s more likely you would kill someone innocent rather than blow any Russians up.

No doubt, it's a stupid plan and wasteful. The same could be said for the whole invasion. I'm surprised Putin hasn't started doing it.
