Express UK ^ | 11/15/2024 | John Varga

Fierce fighting has raged in the region over the past week, claiming the lives of hundreds of Russian soldiers.

Ukrainian forces wiped put a Russian assault group trying to cross a river in Kursk in a brutal attack.

-snip-

Putin's army sustained heavy losses after attempting to storm the river Psel on Monday.

The attack ended in unmitigated disaster for the Russians, as the unit was wiped out during a ferocious artillery barrage.

Images shot by a Ukrainian drone show Russian soldiers crossing the river in rubber dinghies.

As they reach the shore, they have no time to dig in before drones and artillery open fire on them.

Gruesome images show the banks of the river littered with the dead bodies of the Russians following the aerial bombardment.

Putin knows that all he must do is keep the war going until the West loses interests and goes home. It is a complex mess with no easy fix. In the end, Russia wins.

The West isn't losing interest, and he can't sustain 60K losses per month for very long.

Ukraine will have to make concessions, but Trump will offer (and threaten) enough to get Putin to make an agreement that gives so little that soon afterwards it will be manifest that the SMO was a total failure.

Kind of funny - FR seems to have become a gathering place for the world's clairvoyants and fortune tellers, for several years in a row now. On the plus side, there are some real comics in the group: my personal favorites are the ones who announce that PootyPoot is dying/demented/desperate/deranged, but (in other posts) insist there is zero chance of nuclear conflict, because that would be crazy...

;^)

"marcusclimaximus Humiliated As Attempt To Stiffen Flaccid Ukrainian Front Line In Kuks Takes 3 Days, Ends In Failure!"

Even a helping hand from Express UK fiction writer John Varga failed, and rubbed marcus the wrong way, in the end.

It is not propaganda if there is pictures and videos of the failed attack by the Russians.

But their were no pictures that confirm the story, nor was there any video, at the link presented.

So sand that, does that make it propaganda now?

Russia's losses are climbing to 2K per day, 60K per month.

LOL!

No, they're not.

Because you know there’s strings attached to any “aid”!
It may be a better price on oil exports but we may never know.
