Six days in, still no meaningful Russian response to the invasion of Russian territory. Putin's red lines have been shattered - he is a paper tiger. Putin-bots stunned.

It's the sixth inning!

The Putin has lost the game!!

[Jeff Chandler]

Is this the beginning of a successful Uke pushback, or just another Ardennes Offensive?

[kiryandil]

“har har har” and “nyuk nyuk nyuk” is NOT a strategic plan, NAFO boy.

[cornfedcowboy]

I understand but I don’t understand. What do the Ukrainian troops plan to do? Keep the territory? Now what?

I’m not saying your sarcasm is misplaced. But imagine the feeling Americans would have if the Mexican Army has been occupying American territory for six days with no apparent ‘meaningful response’.

Regardless of the outcome the war, this does not make Russia/Putin look strong or masterful.

[adorno]

Tit-for-tat.

Ukraine says, you take 20% or our country, we take 20% of your country. Fair is fair. Even trade. (Yeah, I know Russia is much larger).

[Timber Rattler]

Why, they’ll annex Kursk Oblast into Ukraine! What else?

Gosh, that would be even better than the D@mocrat's genius plan to 'destabilise' Egypt and Libya! Russia has a nuclear arsenal - what could possibly go wrong?

Ukraine has taken a crew of of their best troops combined with other highly skilled foreign soldiers and put together a well planned and well supported offensive in an area that was not fortified by the Russians.

The area is strategic because the Ukrainians are in a position to assault an operational nuclear power plant.

The goal seems to be to demonstrate that the Ukrainian forces have some fight left in them to shore up foreign support, to try to gain some leverage with both NATO and the Russians for a potential cease fire agreement and to try to draw NATO directly into the conflict.

It is the equivalent of Hitler's Battle of the Bulge offensive in WWII. We shall see how it works out for them

Possible outcomes They run wild in Russia for a time causing a lot of damage and then withdraw. They overextend, get cut off and are eventually destroyed in detail. They capture the power plant, perhaps with significant damage and things get interesting.

Is it Ukraine or is it the American-led deep state?

[OHPatriot]

Battle of the Bulge lasted about five weeks. It has been SIX DAYS.

I give the Ukes about 2-3 weeks max before supplies are exhausted.

FYSA, The German force for the Battle of the Bulge, also known as Wacht am Rhein, involved more than one million soldiers across three armies. UKES are but a pinprick.

James Baker: “We understand the need for assurances to the countries in the East. If we maintain a presence in a Germany that is a part of NATO, there would be no extension of NATO’s jurisdiction for forces of NATO one inch to the east.” Feb 9, 1990 JAMES BAKER on NATO

For a deeper understanding of the proxy war being waged right now, the US and Russia, consider that the Ukes/ZelenskySky are the Deep State Cabal.

This was recently highlighted at the end of the RNC convention during the balloon drop.

An dramatic introduction to this understanding can be easily gleaned with a side-by-side comparison of the balloon drop and the ending of a Tom Clancy novel/movie.

"Ukraine has always been winning the war."

"Print tens of billions more dollars to send them, after we get 10%."

May the ending be decisive!

Make no mistake here.

DJT is no longer just “draining the Swamp”.

He is slitting its Throat. He is blowing it up to smithereens.

[rdcbn1]

Not sure the Ukrainian’s have the resources to keep this up for very long.

Unless they take the power plant I’m not sure what was gained and this may just end up being a one way trip if they are not careful. .

[Rural_Michigan]

Oh please. How did that work out 2015-2020? Trump will be mostly powerless like he was before.
