Is there going to be an armor battle in The Ukraine to rival Kursk in 1943?!

I remember the 80s when one of the left's biggest criticisms of Reagan was how he was going to push us to the brink of war with Russia.

Eight steady years of that BS from many of the same people and their acolytes that are now doing everything in their power to push us to the brink of war with Russia.

No. There’s going to be a tank battle to pretty closely equal Hiroshima.

Tank killing systems like the Javelin have made mass armor battles obsolete. Don’t doubt that Russia has something like the Javelin which they can deploy if needed. At the battle of Kursk btw Russia lost estimated 1500 tanks, Germans lost 500. Expensive victory for Russia.

So many blaming those helping Ukraine defend itself and not one word against Russia for invading.

There weren’t a whole lot of voices on FR condemning the invasions of Iraq and Afghanistan either. Were you disappointed then?

I missed the part where Ukraine hijacked a couple airliners and crashed them into Saint Basil’s and Red Square (or other icon of the city).

Standing by as Russia conquers Ukraine would be the way to start back down the path of a WWIII threat.

“”What do we send when the tanks don’t work?””

The jets that Trump wanted them to have.

Apparently you also missed the ethnic cleansing Ukraine was
using on eastern Ukraine, and now in Transcarpathia.
