The Ukrainian cross-border incursion into Russia’s Kursk region has yielded spectacular PR results for the Kiev regime, creating an image of success that was completely lacking in last year’s failed summer counteroffensive.
But it is also true that, from a strictly military strategy standpoint, the adventure will not generate any game-changing momentum on the ground that would reverse Moscow’s upper hand in the ‘special military operation’.
In fact, much to the contrary, diverting that much manpower and equipment to this operation has further weakened the already depleted Donetsk defenses to a point where Russian Federation forces can now see the ‘final’ goal in sight.
Losses sustained by Ukrainian forces in the Kursk Region have surpassed 4,700 servicemen and considerable armored capabilities.
Meanwhile as they capture New York, besiege Toretsk and start to threaten the very last defense line of Kramatorsk-Slavyansk.
Needless to say, the conquest (or as they say, ‘liberation’) of the Donetsk Oblast is one the most – if not THE most – vital Russian objectives in the war.
In Pokrovsk, where Ukrainian forces are actively engaged in repelling numerous Russian attacks across various villages, in an area crucial due to its proximity to supply lines and its strategic position in the broader conflict.
Russians did not redirect many Donetsk units to the Kursk front and Kiev would have hoped.
Instead, they redeployed lower-level units to the Kursk region, according to a briefing by the Institute for the Study of War.
Pokrovsk is also the main railway hub of the entire region for the Ukrainian troops.
The daily captures of settlements are dizzying: Russian forces captured yesterday Kamyshevka, Zavetnoye and Novozhelannoye in the Pokrovsk direction.
With all that, while the Kursk invasion may tale weeks of even months to quell, outlets like Bloomberg are calling it ‘the most failed military operation in the 21st century in terms of the ratio between the result and the resources expended’.
Not even the American fleeing of Afghanistan have wasted so many resources.
What can we expect? Maybe chemical attacks, dirty bombs, etc – many ways to escalate the conflict and drag NATO in.
Blah, blah. If Kamala gets away with the steal, this pointless war will still be going strong in 4 years.
The Kursk Excursion is already a complete success for NATO. No chance of peace talks or ceasefire with RU now.
Alex Jones interviewed the ‘warlord’ we traded for the lesbian basketball pot smuggler yesterday.
It was very interesting. Look it up.
I’ve been waiting nearly 3 years for Russia to win this ( what they call ) operation in a few months.
I’m curious to hear what Douglas McGregor has to say today.
So.... now is the time for all Western supporters of Ukraine til the end, total victory or nothing, to empty the closets and ammo dumps and boneyard and throw every obsolete dirty munitions and pieces of obsolete equipment that will run at Russia now. Barrel bombs might make a good start. Lob them at Russian villages towns and cities indiscriminately. Fill obsolete aircraft with fuel and anything that will explode or burn and launch it at Russian troops, rail lines, power plants. Wipe out food production too. Make it hurt beyond their ability to bear. Sow their crop fields with plant pests and infections. Mine their ports. Destroy their rail lines to India and China. Sink their tankers.
He will probably point out that while Russia has been steadily advancing westward, occupying towns and key logistic strong points, Ukraine has rapidly spread its forces out across vast undefended turnip fields.
Oh Good! Then this will be over by Columbus Day and we can stop reading about it here.
You still haven’t figured out the Cold War was to stop communism and that the deep state’s first wars were with the Clinton regime. Historically speaking in the context of the Cold War, those siding with the enemies of South Korea and South Vietnam were communist sympathizers. And I see this sympathy marching on today.
“The Kursk Excursion is already a complete success for NATO. No chance of peace talks or ceasefire with RU now.” That’s it exactly. There’s talk that secret cease-fire negotiations were taking place. That’s the last thing Nato and the U.S. war party want. The desperate Kursk assault put an end to all talk of peace . . . and the Ukrainians are still being slaughtered.
“Losses sustained by Ukrainian forces in the Kursk Region have surpassed 4,700 servicemen and considerable armored capabilities.”
He did not provide reference for that claim.
Over a third of those who entered?
Nay, they would have retreated by now as authority will have completely broken down.
As I believe I previously advised you, take your false assumptions elsewhere and stop harassing me - after your repeated insults, I have absolutely no interest in anything you have to say...
“Blah, blah. If Kamala gets away with the steal, this pointless war will still be going strong in 4 years.”
Maybe not. To woke POCs, there’s no difference between Russians and Ukrainians. They’re just another bunch of white crackers. She might decide to spend the money on her own people instead and cut off the aid.
People on this board comment back and for all the time. Some of the most heated conversations are about wars, in particular the Ukrainian one.
There are those that make comments about the war, and those that feel offended and those that comment back.
Sir, your comments offend me, so I am countering much the same others do.
You want me to stop offending you so you can continue to offend me?
Thousands of good Americans died in the Vietnam War, which was a Cold War to stop communism. They died in honor. And you come along and mix that Cold War with a Deep State war with communist propaganda?
The "comments" you reference are historical images of actual newspapers (see my post #4) - if you find the historical references to US intervention in foreign wars offensive, contact the newspaper, or click the "Report Abuse" button. I will not stop posting simple historical references, just to avoid "triggering" a hypersensitive individual who exhibits a pronounced tendency to jump to unjustified conclusions.
...you come along and mix that Cold War with a Deep State war with communist propaganda
You have repeatedly suggested that I am a communist or communist sympathizer (which is why I previously advised you to stop posting to me). You are either ignorant or a liar, and whatever the case, I have no interest in your comments or insults, so please take them elsewhere.
Have a nice day!
