Ukrainian troops are rolling deeper and deeper inside Russia! Russian generals are incompetent, the propaganda is in shock and Putin is silent!
One military spokesman reassures Russians that all is well, and they should get some popcorn and enjoy watching the military crush this incursion. That was two weeks ago.
Russia has some of its troops doing a joint military exercise with Mongolia as all this occurs, showing it on Russian TV.

I held off posting about this 'til now, because the story seemed too fantastic to be true. But here we are. Make what you want of it.
Mongolia is important. Don’t they both have a problem with the Chicoms?

2024 - Ukrainian troops are rolling deeper and deeper inside Russia! Russian generals are incompetent, the propaganda is in shock and Putin is silent!
1941 - German troops are rolling deeper and deeper inside Russia! Russian generals are incompetent, the propaganda is in shock and Stalin is silent!
I think I’ve seen this movie before.
“Kremlin panicking”. LOL. Okay.
“Walls are closing in...”
;>)
Except the last movie of 1941 had Stalin retreating to his dacha near Moscow and there his generals consulted with him and begged him to come back and lead the country.
In this movie, Putin is paying a state visit to Azerbaijan, and the army is doing a joint exercize with the Mongolian army.
The generals have not gone to visit Putin in Azerbaijan, because first he fired his top general and replaced him with a KGB man, then unofficially fired him and replaced him with his one-time personal bodyguard, now a mere bureaucrat, no military expertise whatever. Then Putin went (fled?) to Azerbaijan. Who are the head generals now? Will they beg Putin to come back and lead the country? Will he?
I don’t see Ukraine pushing further into Russia than now.
Looks like they are just taking the buffer and fortifying it/providing a need to massively re-distribute Russian troops/equipment.
I really presumed they would have left by now, but apparently not.
I think restraint is being mistaken for weakness.
I guess we’ll find out when the “tactical” nukes start flying.
Nuking Ukraine is bad enough. Russia having to nuke itself would be a total disaster.
Plus I’m also not sure it would be that useful, compared to the domestic destruction accomplished.
The globalists need a world war before their global ponzi scheme collapses.
They will stop at nothing to get it.
Not the same kind of threat as Operation Barbarossa.
What Ukraine has committed to the offensive doesn’t have the power or impact of what Army Group Centre applied in the Summer of ‘41.
If Ukraine is having a difficult time holding its lines in the eastern part of the country, what makes them think they can defend an even larger line?
What about logistics? Can they support this?
Have the Russians truly made the push to reclaim? I don’t think they have.
I smell trap. Will Ukraine take the bait and commit even more to this offensive? We’ll see.
Sure.
I think you should stop theorizing and wait and see what happens next.
Not one of his “allies” has condemned Ukraine’s “special military operation” into Russia. China has a big problem with anyone initiating a first nuclear strike of any kind. So does the US, England, NATO, etc. I don’t pretend to know the future. You shouldn’t either. Just enjoy your popcorn. Soon whoever the head general is will do something or other.
Incidentally, the monologue runs 38 minutes. Now I’ve heard all of it. Not interested in the Q&A that follows.

"...replaced him with his one-time personal bodyguard, now a mere bureaucrat, no military expertise whatever. "
You know his 'former bodyguard', Alexei Dyumin, is a General, right? He's believed to be Putin's selection as his successor. Sending him to Kursk to handle the fighting is
[H/T Jumper] "Alexei Dyumin was also a General and his father was also a General. He is a military man and he is being groomed as the odds on successor to Val the Putin.
That the would be successor to Putin is going to Kursk means one thing only. Russia is certian of victory. This provides the credentials for him to win a vote in Russia for president."
Nah. The content of the OP is not true. Both sides exaggerate, but the Ukraine goes heavy into fantasy land. The Ukrainians claim to control areas that haved been evacuated. Most of the troops are on or near the border. They send small recon teams into densely forested regions to push further into Russia, where Chechens skilled at ambush pick them off. The Ukrainians are running out of hardware, vehicles, tanks etc. in the Ukraine, and the away team in Kursk has lost much of what it brought with them, and can't get more. The Russians have complete control of the airspace and have classified the Ukrainians as 'terrorists' because they have attacked the nuclear power plant and shot at civilians. Bad things happen to terrorists in Russia; Putin says as terrorists, they are not entitled to the protections of the Geneva convention.
In the notes I took on the video, the analyst says the Ukrainians are trying to hold on until November. Not gonna happen.
I'll do whatever I want.
You have my permission to do the same.

Spoiling attack. They were serious they would have strategic objectives.
For one thing Barbarossa was an unprovoked attack. The Ukrainians have been provoked and re-provoked for the past ten years.
As for your question, you assume that Russia’s position will remain static in eastern Ukraine. They will have to send a relief column, and the nearest relief column is in eastern Ukraine, occupying the same. And they will have to take a circuitous route to get to Kursk, because the bridges are now out, and whatever resources are available to Ukraine in Western Russia are theirs for the taking.
I smell a volatile situation that could go any number of ways, and let the Ukrainians deal with it however they planned to.
I smell a volatile situation, and refrain from pontificating.
