The evacuation of Kherson is an evacuation of the civilians. Rumor has it that Russia is intending to locate 160K troops in Kherson and creating a fortified base from which they can push toward Odessa. Now, Ukraine can try to take Kherson (and maybe succeed), but it is a misreading to interpret a civilian evacuation (the better to use civilian infrastructure to house masses of troops) as an intention to abandon Kherson. It is likely an intention to turn it into a fortified bastion for hordes of troops and a giant killing box.
Weird conversation. Sort a interesting, but both sides made several dubious claims, not to mention lack of knowledge.
In Vietnam there was a massive bombing campaign called Rolling Thunder between 1965-1968. At the end, the US lost close to 1000 planes. It was stopped mostly because the US realized you cannot bomb a nation to submission.
