Have heard a lot of Ukrainians live in that area. Maybe they are just going in to get some of their fighters who jumped ship at the beginning of the war.

Stalin not only blew it off, he sent firm orders to avoid provocations at all costs.

I really doubt that exchange happened. They sound like 2 teenage girls not heads of state.

Russia invaded Ukraine. Destroying Russia's stuff is legit war action.



Fully agreed, but we've been told repeatedly that it wasn't the US, or Ukraine, or the US & Ukraine working together. Including by some in this thread.

Putin speaks very good English. This is a video of him speaking English 12 years ago

False.

Doubt that exchange happened, but he can absolutely speak and understand English. Along with German and French with his native Russian.

Wrong! Putin speaks English very well actually. Most world leaders of large countries do.

The Kursk operation has resulted in a bunch of friendly fire incidents on both sides, but only one side actually uploaded their friendly fire incident and bragged about it as if it were the enemy.

You are a fan rooting for your team, rather than a logical person conducting rational analysis. Your emotion, while appealing amid the contest, obviously clouds rationality. However, your "analysis" does fit right in here.

Hopefully you approach your career responsibilities differently?

It's clear to me now that Ukraine is really going for it. The are absolutely going to create a large salient that they can and will hold.



Today, I've now read four or five experts who have concluded the same thing.

Ukraine is now all-in on this op.

By the way, when you read stuff about a possible goal of the Kursk operation is to force Russia to take troops from the Donbas, don't believe that crap. Some Ukrainians were saying that, as a way of justifying potential failure, but the truth is that Ukraine absolutely wants Russia to continue to try to defend this area with conscripts and hastily-thrown-together random, ill-equipped groups under a sketchy command structure.

The error that Russia always makes, from Putin on down, is overestimating their capabilities. The crappy units of 18-year-old kids are just no match for Ukraine's top brigades.

Again, the time frame makes it such that it is quite a lot of land in a short time period. Why are you ignoring that?

And the land was completely undefended. Now Ukraine says they may not even stay there and try to keep it.


Damn does everything just constantly fly past your ability to understand it? At least you are finally staying on subject for once. Baby steps my little retard.
