ISIS-style attacks on civilians are what Ukraine, with the full support of the Biden regime, must resort to. This after using civilians as human shields, targeting civilians in Donetsk city and shelling nuclear power plant.

Apparently this incursion has been ended. It should make people realize how easy it would be to start WWIII when and if Ukraine gets F-16’s. ‘’Face it, the elitists in the west want a lot of depopulation and this would be a good way to make that happen.

There’s no military significance in this raid, except that the US deep-state, via NATO and of course, their puppets in Ukraine - is just doing its best to ensure this conflict remains “hot,” and that Russia is occupied and hobbled for many years trying to subdue Ukraine.

Do you have a point?
One way or the other, Russia can neither protect its own territory or conquer Ukraine.

F Russia. What incompetence.

The French thought the push through the Ardennes was a diversion.

Hitler thought Normandy was a diversion.

From a purely military perspective, it’s never a good idea to dismiss an attack as simply a diversion.

Can’t protect its territory? Not a hint of irony there lol. And you seem really emotional about Russia.

Yes, but there was absolutely no military strategy or value on Belegorod, just a easy point to enter. The Ukes should have picked a point along Kerson that has some value and spear head a real advancement.

No guess.

The collapse and annihilation of the Deep State Cabal.

Ha! No one even knows how it’s really going now considering that most info sources are courtesy the CIA, MI6 and FIS.

There was no military significance to the Doolittle Raid, either.

Bakhmut is also of zero military significance.

Putin’s stupid war is a pointless meat grinder.

The only winners are China and greedy defense contractors.

It’s going to end with Ukraine still being Ukraine. And thousands of Russian serfs and prisoner slaves dead for nothing.

Ukrainians don’t want to be “subdued”.

Which is the whole point really.

Raids like this are militarily significant, because they force the other side to divert forces to secure its rear. You cant permit enemy raiding parties to run around your rear areas (such as the logistics hub of Belgorod).

And the raid on Tokyo was a handful of small airplanes with a few bombs.

The message was sent. That IS the point.

Stupid.

The Russians are doing that all by themselves. The Russians could end this by just going home. It always amazes me how the pro-Russian crowd tries to shift the responsibility for this war from those who actually attacked to those who are defending themselves. The world turned upside down.

True.

But Hitler really did argue that the only logical place to land the allied army was the Pas De Calais.

Like I said, don’t simply write of any attacks as a diversion.

Personally, I prefer Patton’s adage about never defending, rather only attacking. He would probe all along a front, and then exploit weaknesses as he found them.

Standard nonsense. Are you trained in this propaganda somewhere?

Over-generalize and simplify the causes of war to a 3rd grader’s level

Declare anyone against it to be in league with Putin or “pro” this or that.

Give it a rest.

Wait, I cannot keep up, did the hypersonic missile destroy the patriot battery or was it shot down? Is that just Russia saying that or is there any evidence/announcements from our side?
