‘Furious battles are underway’: Kursk residents call on Putin for help after Ukrainian incursion

[Alter Kaker]

Ukrainian forces are pushing further into the Kursk region of Russia, in a cross-border incursion that surprised even American officials, multiple US and Ukrainian officials tell CNN.

Ukrainian forces are comprised of a mix of Ukrainian regular and special operations units, unlike previous Ukrainian operations inside Russia that often involved undercover units and local sympathizers.

The intention, say US and Ukrainian officials, is multifaceted, in part to disrupt and demoralize Russian forces and in part to divert Russian forces away from other parts of the eastern front.

Russia claimed on Thursday to have halted a Ukrainian incursion into its territory, but later said that some battles are ongoing in the Kursk region. According to the Russian Ministry of Defense, units of the “North” group of its forces, together with the Russian Federal Security Service, the FSB, “continue to destroy Ukrainian armed forces formations in the Sudzhensky and Korenevsky districts of the Kursk region, which are directly adjacent to the Russian-Ukrainian border.” CNN cannot independently verify these claims.

Kursk residents, who live in the Sudzhansky District, recorded a video address to Russian President Vladimir Putin on Thursday asking for his help, saying he has been misinformed about the situation on the ground and the Russian Defense Ministry’s statements about things being under control are untrue.

The address was published on a local Telegram channel that is dedicated to covering the latest news out of the town of Sudzha in Kursk region, which has been under Ukrainian attack for several days.

“These lies enable the local residents to die. The Chief of the General staff recently told you that the situation is under control, but today huge furious battles are underway in the Sudzhansky and Korenevsky districts,” one of the residents said.

“Sudzha was attacked, turned into ruins in hours."

Since bimboeruption seems interested in this subject, I've added him, this time.

It worked for me."

I've been told that the only way to deal with massively abusive insults in the New Free Republic is just to ignore them, since their most obvious purpose is to so cr*p all over the thread that FR's management will delete the whole thing.

And since I put a lot of work into my posts, and often refer back to them, I don't like seeing them deleted.

So I try to ignore the nonsense and stay focused on what matters.

You may not have a ping list, per se, but you and your mommy do have a "Naughty and Nice" list of pro-America FReepers who hurt your feelings.

Remember, mommy's boy?

Good advice from your mommy. I think it's laughable that neither one of you follow it.

[aMorePerfectUnion]

No list, fine.

Forget to include me in your brain fart posts from now on.

I don’t have time or interest in reading posts like those.

I did not request to be included. I do not wish to be included.

Thank you in advance.

“So I try to ignore the nonsense and stay focused on what matters”

Why I don’t bother to respond to your insulting meme &/or. comments. Best to just ignore :)

[bimboeruption]

>>>>Why I don’t bother to respond to your insulting meme &/or. comments. Best to just ignore :)

Hitting the Communion wine again mommy? In the last week you've responded to 11 of my, in your words, "insulting meme &/or. comments".

Not doing a very good job of ignoring me, are you?

BTW, maybe you should start verifying the BS you post. FReepers shouldn't have to do it for you.

[UMCRevMom@aol.com]

Remember my responses to you before continues to be consistent with my responses today:

I am in total agreement with Mr. Robinson:

1- https://freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/3928396/posts
2- https://freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/4166577/posts

I choose not to compromise my integrity by responding in a competition of insulting memes and comments toward opponents of my viewpoint.

IMHO, best to be careful NOT to adapt the ‘attacking’ methods of your opposition. Otherwise, you will come to resemble your opponent. Then, your opposition has won.

PONDER:

My Response to personal insults on FR:

IMHO, theologically, I believe opposition can turn into opportunity.

We cannot control others’ actions, reactions, and opinions.

However, WE can control how we can adjust and see opportunities when others may only see opposition.
The importance of our response is to move forward knowing that the God who’s given you the opportunity will also stand with you and support you to fulfill His purpose...

Therefore, the purpose of documentation gives the ability to accurately and truthfully give a response, if needed. Hard copy notes will provide relevant, legitimate and accurate data.

All Freepers are aware that some retain and repeat their treasury of snarky comments and abusive memes because of their repetitive re-use in subsequent comments on other threads. To not acknowledge these retained ‘treasured’ memes and comments would be a gross distortion and deception.

Freepers are intelligent and better than this. This abusive behavior only results in diminished quality discourse on FR.
There are many Freepers on both sides of issues that post quality comments which we can all appreciate.

For someone who never responds to my comments, this is your SECOND response to my post 362. Did one of your flying zeeper monkeys help you with this one?

PONDER: "Officious prig". After doing so, look in the mirror. You'll see the topmost officious prig on FR.

Great “case in point” mommy.

No! REuzza is losing big, retreating further inland with many Ruzzians changing sides in the march to Moscow! Ukrainian victory is coming with more and more cities falling to the Ukraine Freedom Fighters! Putin will be deposed soon and peace talks after a total retreat from Ukraine and Crimea. Why do they need a naval base when they have lost the whole Black Sea Fleet? Victory in weeks if not days! Send more F-16s and Abrams super tanks! Ukraine advances to victory!

“unable to whip a military superpower.”

And it’s ironic how that “military superpower” you celebrate has to go groveling hat in hand to the likes of Iran and North Korea to beg for weapons.

That same “military superpower” that has to cobble together frankenweapons from museum relics, and use motorcycles and golf carts in their meat wave assaults?

That same “military superpower” who has yet to crush a country as inferior as you claim Ukraine is?

Mommy’s become so addicted to pointing her fat finger at pro-America FReepers and blaming us for all her screw ups that self-assessment has become the same as blaming us.

[woodpusher]

You have a vivid imagination but little grasp of reality. I have not celebrated and Russia has not groveled. Russia needs no assistance to kick the crap out of someplace like Ukraine, even if it is assisted by the entire western world.

The entire world, except for you, knows the top three superpowers.

Fighting with only shovels, Russia has been making the other dumb bastard die for his country. I have not seen them helicoptering off any embassy rooftops or have the men walking about in high heels lately.

That same “military superpower” who has yet to crush a country as inferior as you claim Ukraine is?

Let me know when we can stop send billions to Ukraine. Or when their electric makes a comeback. Or when they stage a scene like the escape from Afghanistan. There is no need to like them in order to respect them.

18. Ukraine Pwrindex 0.2598.

Behind Iran, Egypt, Australia and Israel.

Thirdly, you’re extremely practiced, HOLIER-THAN-THOU “REVEREND” mommy, at using Scripture as a sword against those who challenge you, and as a shield to deflect any criticism that comes your way.

Did you learn that tactic at the ulta-lib “seminary” you supposedly attended or at the Ukraine Institute for Propaganda?

And fourthly, for someone who “ignores the nonsense” and doesn’t “bother to respond” to my “insulting meme &/or. comments”, this is your 16th response to my posts in the past week.

[Allegra]

First of all, mommy, the observation above is not mine. Try reading comments carefully instead of skimming.

I don’t know why zeepers have such a hard time figuring out the reply features here. It is common on FR to italicize, or enclose in quotation marks, asterisks or other characters to quote the post (or part of the post) to which you are replying.

But zeepers consistently have trouble discerning that.

Just last week, I used italics to quote someone’s comment about how many Ukrainians had been lost on some incursion. I responded that if that were true, that’s just one more indicator that this bloodshed needs to end.

Little Willy responded to my post, but he was responding to what I had italicized that someone else had said. He came yipping, yapping, shrieking, snarling, trying to nip my ankles and having a quite a little hissy-fit as is his inclination.

No amount of explaining that he was yipyapping about someone else’s comment would get through. He just didn’t get it.

As I often say, zeepers aren’t the sharpest knives in the drawer.
