WWIII Watch: Ukraine Confirms U.S. Bombs Being Used to Strike Inside Russia Amid Kursk Incursion
Breitbart ^ | 08/24/2024 | Kurt Zindulka

Ukraine has admitted that it is actively using American-made bombs to strike within Russia’s Kursk region as it embarks on a counter-invasion.

U.S. GBU-39 glide bombs are being used to hit targets within the Russian mainland, Ukraine Air Force Commander Lt. Gen. Mykola Oleschuk revealed this week, state media Ukrinform reports.

A video published on Thursday by the general purportedly showed his forces using the high-precision American weapons to strike a drone control hub, an electronic warfare unit, military equipment, weaponry, and around 40 “personnel” within Russia, meaning members of the Russian military may have been killed with U.S. bombs in Kursk.

Didn’t Putin say, this would trigger WW 3?

Nothing new. This are overpriced US corruption junk bombs

Business Insider
The US gave Ukraine glide bombs — but they keep missing because Russia is so good at jamming them

As if we needed more evidence that this war is a creation of US foreign policy. This is what Trump and Kennedy agreed on yesterday.

Timing. Trump wins and then says “Cut it out” and they quit just like Putin did.

WWIII?

From what I can tell there is a divide between the political and the military right now. The political side (meaning Putin) wanted to invade Ukraine and the military not so much.

The Russian military has not done so well with Ukraine, how do you think they would do against NATO?

If I was to guess I would say it would be easier and cheaper for the Russian Military to take out Putin rather then face total destruction fighting Nato.

WWIII... uuuhhh! So scary!

Started by Putin....

but triggered by weak leadership in Washington.

But the real trigger was he American people who ‘elected’ Biden. Biden and democrats like i when things are done ‘from the bottom up, middle out’. We’re getting what the democrats dream about.

Didn’t Russian bombs kill American soldiers in Afghanistan, Iraq, Vietnam and Korea?

Cheesh. Why would anyone expect anything different?

The USA provided weapons to a country which is at war.

The Russian military is the bottom of Russian society. Anybody with anything else going doesn’t choose a military career.

When the Russian invasion of Ukraine was heading into its first winter there was a hilarious story about the Russian army “losing” one million winter uniform coats. Of course they never existed and some general had pocketed the appropriations for them. The last thing these guys want is a war because it interrupts their gravy train.

Most military officers do not want war.

They know the uncertainties and the consequences.

Most of the people who want war are young men who think glory, and armchair quarterbacks.

Of course, if you can persuade two of your opponents to fight, not much loss to you, possibly serious gain.

China has a saying about this: "On top of a mountain, watching two tigers fight."

And they know just how hollow the Russian Army is.

Like I wrote, it would be safer (easier and cheaper) to replace Putin.

Agree. It’s not just the Russian army, though. It’s Russian society. Fake and hollow. Russians by and large don’t care as long as they can have a nice apartment and vacations in Egypt, etc. But take that away from them and we’ll see the ‘90s again. Total chaos.

In the US Civil War, the South had wonderful generals, great enthusiasm, and Ashley Wilkes. (Oh wait) The North kept engaging the enemy until their steady supply of soldiers and industrial might turned the tide. Then Sherman bulldozed thru Georgia and crushed a weak civilian populace. The North waited it out and the end was inevitable. Wonder if we’ll see a similar conclusion in this Ukraine conflict.

a whole LOT of them...injured so many thousands more in Iraq.

any iranian backed attack was with weapons from Russia.

Thanks for reminding me because I was acting like a scared wuss.

I don’t think Ukraine is worth going to war over.

But there will almost certainly be another American conflict where the enemy is supplised by Russia and American soldiers or injured or worse.

I know the one world government folks wanted this war.

But still, there can’t be double standards, Russia allowed to supply weapons to kill our men but we do not.

To heck with them
