Super power? Begin to look more like Super Chicken.

When you find yourself in danger,
When you’re threatened by a stranger,
When it looks like you will take a lickin’, (puk, puk, puk, puk)
There is someone waiting,
Who will hurry up and rescue you,
Just Call for Super Chicken! (puk ack!)

Fred, if you’re afraid you’ll have to overlook it,
Besides you knew the job was dangerous when you took it (puk ack!)

He will drink his super sauce
And throw the bad guys for a loss
And he will bring them in alive and kickin’ (puk, puk, puk, puk)
There is one thing you should learn
When there is no one else to turn to
Call for Super Chicken! (puk, puk, puk, puk)
Call for Super Chicken! (puk ack!)

Liberated? I doubt the locals would agree with that. But Ukraine has liberated a bunch of farm land.

Well, 74 out of over 3,000 settlements leaves a ways to go

Btw, who is being liberated from what? Russians being liberated from Russia?
Is Kursk going to hold a referendum to vote on becoming part of Ukraine and will it be recognized?

A synapse of the Kremlin meetings in the past several days indicates the following policy discussions:

- Russia is in the process of telling India, China and other nations who were trying to host negotiations between Ukraine and Russia that there will be no further negotiations until the Regime in Kiev is defeated along with the AFU destroyed

- All parties to such negotiations were duped by Ukraines talk of desire for negotiations. Russia is telling China and India that there can be no negotiations with Ukraine as they pose an Extasenial Threat to Russia

ipate with an negotiations with Ukraine as long as Zelensky and his team or regime remains in power

- Ukraine is controlled by the West and doing their bidding as a proxy. - Ukraine under Zelensky pose an Existential Threat to not only Russia but also Ukraine and the world

- Zelensky & Team (Regime) have engaged in destruction of civilians and civilian infrastructure. They have also presented themselves as a threat to nuclear power facilities (2x in 7 days & throughout the conflict)


Russia has redefined the terms by which they frame the conflict. Ukraine is different terms now. Ukraine as such is now referred to as The Enemy. They use the terms Regime for Zelinski and his government. Because of two separate incidents of attempted damage to nuclear plants twice in a few days time, the Russian operations in Kursk not referred to defensive or combat operations, but is being conducted as an Anti-Terrorist Operations.

All of these terms frame the legal, extra-legal mechanisms by which all decisions are applied under the laws of Russia, the international community, and as how the US has defined these terms.

Russia ramping up Combat Operations to destroy the Regime in Kiev and to defeat the AFU.

I see the US replacing Zelensky with one of the law makers.


At the end of the June events by Ukraine essentially ended the US threat of ATTUMs being used for deep strikes in Russia.

The month of July signaled the AFU was no longer capable of defending Ukraine and was being crushed by the Bear maintaining contact everywhere at once destroying unit after unit.

The month of August has seen Ukraine roll the dice in Kursk. They have tipped their hand with attacks on two nuclear facilities.

August discussions in the Kremlin have signaled the parameters by which this conflict will be settled and Russian terms - no cease fire, no negotiations, total defeat of The Enemy.

Before the naysayers just my analysis, consider that within a very short time the United States is going to be embroiled in a second war in the Middle East. Also, consider the fear from the EU over Musk-Trump interview and the fact that the EU is in recession, and NATO has lost its war against Russia using Ukraine as proxy.

Even BG(R) Austin is not stuipid so as to ramp up operations in Ukraine at a time when US forces are going to be tested against Iran and whoever else comes to that party.

Ukraine is going to replace Zelenski if the USA doesn’t. Ukraine has no voice in China, India or Russia for the remainder of this conflict.

Historically, military incursions into Russia have not turned out well.

what is Ukraine trying to do, go deeper into Russia so the Russians can move in from behind. Feigned retreat?

In a 1925 letter, the residents of Zaoleshenka conveyed their wish to Soviet authorities to formally be part of the Ukrainian Soviet Socialist Republic, arguing that more than 5,000 residents of the settlement identified as “100% ethnic Ukrainians,” and their economic ties were closely linked to the Ukrainian cities of Kharkiv and Sumy.

“Ukraine as such is now referred to as The Enemy.”

That’s a strongly worded statement.

The people in this villages most certainly do not want to part of the Ukraine hellhole.

However, the people of Donetsk and Lugansk, who voted for a President that was illegal driven out of office by an illegal coup we fomented, most certainly wanted, first, independence and, ultimately, to join the Russian Federation. That isn't even arguable even the high percentage of ethnic Russians in those Oblasts.

You're a liar on the same level of Kamala Harris and Tim Walz.

The Economist reports (archived) on the operation from a hospital in Sumy:

"[T]he accounts from Ukraine’s wounded suggest it has not been a walk in the park, and remains risky. The hospital ward reeks of the sacrifice: soil, blood, and stale sweat. Foil burn-dressings line the corridor. In the yard, the patients, some wrapped like mummies from head to toe in bandages, smoke furiously. Angol, a 28-year-old paratrooper with the 33rd brigade, looks like a Christmas tree. His left arm is immobilised in a fixation device. Tubes, bags and wires protrude from his body."

All the carnage and there is zero chance of Ukraine holding any territory in Russia.

Let’s wait for results of the referendum.
