SaxxonWoods #19: "Ukraine sent a thousand men in.
600 have been eliminated so far.
On a mission to nowhere."
Alter Kaker: "Ukraine invaded with a CORP comrade, not 1000 men.
They are staying."
Kaiserslacht, the German's last gasp, 1918:
Today Russians' Donetsk offensive is "winning" their war in the same sense as Germans were winning the First World War in France early 1918.
"Kaiserschlacht" added about 10% to French territory conquered by Germans, but at a cost of 600,000 German casualties, which left the German army reeling, depleted and demoralized.
Germans never recovered from their Kaiserschlacht "victory" and by the fall of 1918 were collapsing all along their western front.
How bad are things for Russia today?
We don't know, but their seemingly weak response to Ukraine's minor Kursk incursion does not yet resemble Ukraine's vigorous response to Russia's earlier incursions north of Kharkiv.
How many Ukrainians have invaded Kursk?
Numbers are all over the board -- from as few as 2,000 = two battalions, to as many as 35,000+ = eight brigades = almost three divisions = nearly a corps.
Fog of war is still far too thick to be sure what's really happening -- or who's really winning...
