Russia’s defence ministry may believe its forces are “defeating” Ukraine’s counter-offensive in the Kursk region, but Vladimir Putin clearly doesn’t.
He has sent one of his toughest generals to organise the fight back against Ukraine’s surprise Sunday morning counter-offensive.

Democrat Kamala Harris leads Donald Trump in Iowa 47% to 44%, a new Des Moines Register/Mediacom Iowa Poll shows.
Our Gaslight Media always has to have a Horse Race going for its semi-literate readers...

More pro Ukrainian propaganda.

I think this applies to Kursk.
Kursk is the biggest strategic mistake Ukraine made in 2024
Drone Videos on X show Ukraine taking heavy losses in men and armor in this frontal attack on Russian positions. Loses that they cannot afford considering their dwindling supplies of both.
Yes, war is hell.
There is so much propaganda on both sides that it’s hard to see through the fog of war.
I try my best to step back and look at the bigger picture. In doing so, I look in the mirror of our own country and don’t care much for what I see.
