The Javelins that Trump sent Zelynsky were what Ukraine used to smash the Russian column outside Kyiv. Obama had only sent radios and MREs. You must really hate Trump.

There is ZERO chance of Russia losing this war.

Every inch of territory that Russia has liberated/taken will remain part of the Russian Federation. And, Ukraine absolutely will be forced to remain a neutral country after this is over.

Or Ukraine will cease to exist.

What about this don't you understand?

https://fakti.bg/en/world/903779-the-attack-on-the-kursk-region-may-be-the-beginning-of-the-military-end-of-ukraine

Attack by the armed forces of Ukraine in the region of Kursk could be the beginning of the military end for Kiev, which could lead to greater territorial losses for Ukraine. This opinion was expressed by the military expert of the European Council on Foreign Relations, Gustav Gressel, in an interview with Der Spiegel magazine.

„If Ukraine seeks to hold territory for a few months, it will lead to military costs that can hardly be covered. The expansion of the front line is profitable above all for Russia. “It has more weapons, ammunition and people that it can use on a wider front,” says the Austrian specialist. According to him, the effect of surprise threatens to quickly turn against Ukraine.

The expert noted that Moscow could send additional forces to the Kursk region, which would first contain the attacks of the Ukrainian armed forces, and then tire them out. He pointed out that in the meantime, Kiev is exhausting its resources in Donbas, and if the front collapses, then Ukraine will have to one way or another leave the territories in the Kursk region and transfer them again to the east. “There, this could lead to greater territorial losses,”, noted Gressel.

The specialist recalled that in Germany the camp of Sarah Wagenknecht, who opposes the supply of weapons to Kiev, enjoys significant popularity. “Ukraine may seem like an unreliable daredevil. Berlin and Washington would withdraw their support. “The maneuvers in the Kursk region could be the beginning of the military end for Ukraine,”, Gressel said. "Ukraine is in a difficult situation," he said. “Due to the insignificant military assistance of its partners, it cannot win the war in purely traditional ways, so it tries to resort to risky operations. But in this way, he risks completely losing the support of the West”, the expert believes.

Yes the more Russians Ukraine kills and the more Russian territory Ukraine takes the better Russia does. Why didn’t Putin think of this master strategy years ago? 😂

I’m not sure why you would imagine an “ass pic?”

Maybe seek help?

History repeats. Maybe the Ukies should remember their Nazi past, and especially the Battle for Kursk.

“ The battle has been called the “last gasp of Nazi aggression”, much in common with the Ukie Neo Nazis.

Tucker Carlson bashed Russian President Vladimir Putin’s justification for invading Ukraine, claiming that the “denazification” of the country was “one of the dumbest things I’d ever heard.”

Good comparison also add the 1944 Ardennes offensive to the analysis.

I think this may have more in common with the Hamas October 7 incursion into Israel - hopefully without all the atrocities.
