Please watch this. It is very important that the context of what is rapidly taking place is understood. Daniel Davis is as reputable a source as you can find on this particular subject. Please, fact check that statement.

And remember: Look for the"Putin Stooge" libel, news from Ukraine you’ve gradually grown to trust over the course of thirty months.

I wear their libel with honor. Get a load of the new tagline.

In WWII, the Nazis had a big offensive push in 1943 on the Eastern Front which felt rather promising at the start but ended up as a defeat which chewed up a tremendous amount of German military resources at the Battle of Kursk.

In 1944, the Nazis had a big offensive push through the Ardennes on the Western Front which felt rather promising at the start but ended as as a defeat which chewed up the last of the German military resources at the Battle of the Bulge.

Here we are in 2024, the Ukrainians push a salient into Russia at Kursk but trap a large amount of their own military resources there, just as western allies start to lose their incentive for replacing these resources.

It’s so refreshing to see someone put it all together the way you just did. Good Job! This my rather fanciful take on the ‘24 Kursk Pocket:

Last summer the Ukes made a very similar type incursion towards Belgorod. Supposedly, there was some type nuclear material that could be had if their mad dash was fast enough. It wasn’t.

Although much larger, it’s the same operation. Who can’t handicap that boob Z’s moves? In the desperate situation the Ukes were in, the Russians figured they’d bait him into a trap with the Kursk Nuclear PP. The Russians probably also figured the PR opportunity would be a great lure as well. We all saw the insufferable western crowing and strutting. That’s was certainly something Z desperately wanted.

The area is as desolate, unpopulated and as undeveloped as any on the battle lines. It is heavily wooded, lots of streams and hills. It’s lousy for maneuver except for the one road in.

The Russians pulled troops back and let their defenses fall into disarray perhaps, the come hither facade. The Ukes took the bait. The Ukes came barreling down the one road with the very best equipment and troops they could peel off the Belarus front and Donbas lines as the Russians let the Ukes chase them.

Any hope of getting to the nuclear plant were gone three days in as the column bogged down and the Ukes started expanding their flanks out into the countryside until they reached the Russian forces edge of their pocket. Over the last week the forward movement of the Ukes stopped. The Russians are holding them there, killing them. The Russians aren’t interested in closing the pocket while Z continues to feed the slaughterhouse.

The armor that the Russians especially wanted to draw off has been mauled. The same thing will happen to the troops in the pocket when the Russians get around to collapsing it.

This is the best rope a dope action since the Rumble in the Jungle,

As long as the USA backs them to the hilt—they can lose all they have and be instantly replaced with newer and better weapons. Big problem is people to man the new weapons and use them. Get the draft dodgers back from nations where they hid. Lower age of conscription to 18. Include women this time. Cancel all college deferments—draft whole student bodies, teachers too, men and women. A nation in arms to meet the new threat. Then draft all high school seniors, Boys and girls. USA will provide the uniforms and weapons, maybe some CIA or MI5 trainers to give them a quick training before sending them into battle. Next use robots, USA will provide them at the phone call from Zelenskyy. Organize more Mercenaries from 3rd world to fill in the ranks. The cities of Ukraine should only be filled with elderly and small children.

Kursk: Tactical Success/Strategic Suicide

I guess I'll just have to accept the unconditional surrender and partitioning of Ukraine, both East and West.

Hopefully President Trump will be reelected, and will prevent any Uke Nazis from escaping to the US.

I’ve read on X and Telegram about specially trained Chechen “hunter/ambush/killer” squads that were deployed to this area PRIOR to the Ukes getting rope a doped in. I saw an interview of Kadyrov the first week of the operation. He was practically giddy when speaking of what was in store for these hapless, running out of ammo, Ukes.

Here’s CIA confirmation that he was there.

Also in the mix in a Ukranian F16, with their “ace” pilot shot down by friendly fire. Not only stupid, but clueless. I guess they have to find a new “ace” pilot

“Chechen “hunter/ambush/killer” squads”

Chechens are the tiktok clowns, typical woman doing shopping is more of a hunter-killer than they will ever be.

What the rus propaganda was saying after the Ukes entered Kursk ?

1. Neocon lies, Russia stronk !!1
2. It's a minor incursion, soon they will be pushed out.
3. It's a major incursion but soon they all will be dead.
4. Soon, very soon, just 3 days more...
5. Weeks later: It's a feint ! Another 6D Putin victorious strategy !!1

It's the Moscow Bob level of nonsense, no matter what happens it's just another victory of the great leader. Can't blame them as the alternative is to get accidented but unless you are based in Russia, parroting that nonsense is simply ridiculous. Go get a job.

If the Ukes had dashed in, grabbed the turf and quickly got back to their own border, they could have sent a message.

Capturing the turf and holding the turf are two different things, with two different price tags.

If any lesson can be drawn form this it would be that in the main Germany, the Ukrainians and Russians SUCK when it come to waging war.

You know Z and the rainbow politician chowderheads in the Pentagon. So do I and so does Putin. We all knew what they’d do.

Before it’s forgotten, I’d like to nominate Z’s two day portrayal of Heinz Guderian for an Oscar. It was magnificent! Then the rope a dope turned the Uke screenplay to $hit.

This from someone that has been parroting Biden regime and Deep State propaganda here for months?

The "Russian propaganda" has been infinitely more accurate than any of bulls$it you and your fellow Zeepers have been spewing. You've been constantly WRONG.

You're still not going to claim what is going on the battlefield in Ukraine is stalemate, are you? The Russians are making advances with virtually no resistance in many places. Why? Because Ukraine is running troops.

At least most of your fellow Zeepers have been silent lately. But, you can't resist beclowning yourself.

“Because Ukraine is running troops.”

Speak American.
