The USG has come to conclusion that there has never been a war fought the way Russia has conducted this Special Operation.
The US was never prepared for a long protracted war of attrition.
There has never been a war where land capture was not the hallmarks of success. Yet Russia chose the path of destruction for the Armed Forces of Ukraine as the path to victory, not land capture.
In Kursk Russia has taken 25% of Eastern lower middle section, now shelling the main supply road, and threatening to cutoff and encircle those in the NorthWest and everything to the North mid-buldge.
Again, you fail to grasp as did NATO’s finest the tactics which state the destruction of the AFU over the capture of land is the highest priority.
With the destruction of the AFU will come the land. Already the AFU is reeling without reserves across the entire frontlines.
On 24 Sept the US and Zelinski will go before the UN and present Zelinski’s demands to freeze the conflict. (Again, the US is faced with Israel’s vote to authorized a declaration of war this morning in the ME).
Zelinski hopes that with people in Kursk a UN vote to freeze the conflict might somehow allow him a chance to save face, for himself and the Brit’s/Americans who have lost the war.
Kursk represents a land grab. The Ops Tempo for the next few days will increase in Kursk.
Even if the UN might somehow vote for a Freeze in the Ukraine Russia conflict - Russia will continue to destroy with vengence those remaining in Russia.
Russia will continue to prosecute the destruction of the AFU, even if there is a vote.
“not land capture.”
And yet there was annexation.
Putin said recently the “main objective” was land stealing.
“Kursk represents a land grab.”
Yet no annexation
