Ukrainian drones broadcast to Russian soldiers to put their guns down and surrender as Zelensky's troops storm Kursk.

One of the videos on that pro-Russian Pakistani YouTube Channel from 2 days ago claims:

“Road To Pokrovsk Is Open l Russian Forces Stops Ukrainians In Kursk Oblast”

2 days ago

Still trusting that info? Even Putin has publically confirmed that this could not be true because much less than 2 days ago (like today) Russia has reported something much more serious and evacuating villages.

It has been interesting to watch. I know there's a lot of "passion" here for both sides, I don't really have a dog in the fight. I prefer sitting back and watching it all unfold.

To be honest, I thought it would be over in a matter of a couple weeks, a month maybe, 2 months at the most. The fact that Russia has been unable to put it all to rest shows they are not the big bad bear they claim to be. Without nukes, Russia is a paper bear, really.

Obviously, Ukraine would have fallen long ago if not for the outside support from the US. While I believe Putin is a murderous, communist dictator, I do also believe Zelenski is a money laundering puppet for the global elite, which includes the Biden Crime Syndicate.

What I do know is that we need Trump this year. If Trump doesn't get elected, we can say goodbye to the Republic.

If this is true it’s got to be terribly humiliating to the Russians. Kursk is to Russians what The Siege of Bastonge is to the American Army.

Which dog would you prefer to win?

The peaceful country that voluntarily surrendered its nuclear weapons - or the aggressive invader whose nukes are still aimed squarely at America's heartland?

Ukraine has never threatened the U.S.

Putin's Russia has been constantly threatening the U.S.

Which country would you like to see lose?

Regards,

Both. But moreover, I want to see America win.

Conversely, what does Russia want with Ukraine?

Ukraine has a large, well educated Slavic population, as well as being the breadbasket of eastern Europe. Putin was led to believe by his intelligence services that the Ukrainian people would welcome Russians as liberators, (just as the Finns did in 1940?), that the intelligence services had prepostioned supplies and agents in the country to make overrunning Kiev merely a matter of entering the address in their GPS.

FWIW, the appallingly poor Russian performance in the Russo-Finnish War encouraged the Nazis, who held Russia in very low esteem. The world's regard for the military prowess of the gas station with nuclear weapons was low enough without this debacle. Outnumbering Ukrainians by almost 4 to 1, the Russians have chewed off a lot more than they can easily swallow.

I think this is also about trying release pressure on Ukrainian forces in Ukraine with Russians having to leave Ukraine to counter the Ukrainian forces now in Russia.

They should capture Kursk now. I bet it's all reserves, conscripts and Chechens trying to stop the Ukrainians so they have the momentum. It'll take a while for Putin to get battle hardened troops from Ukraine to counter them in Russia.

That’s the go to chart for the most accurate.

I've quoted numbers from that chart in the past, and I've been called a Zeeper and a neocon by those that don't want to hear it and/or call them fakes and who support Ukraine losing. Like it's said, the truth is the worst enemy to those that can't handle it and would rather remain in denial.

Reminds me of Lee’s strategy of invading the North-Antietem and Gettysberg.
