Russia pushes on key Ukraine city while Kyiv's Kursk incursion slows
BBC ^ | Aug 31, 2024

Posted on 08/31/2024 4:23:57 PM PDT by McGruff

Russian forces are just a few kilometres from the Ukrainian city of Pokrovsk, a crucial logistics hub used by the Ukrainian military.

Home to a key railway station and major roads, Pokrovsk is an essential supply and reinforcement point for Ukraine’s troops on the eastern front line.

Critics in Kyiv fear that the country's military has made a serious miscalculation.

By sending troops into Kursk instead of reinforcing the eastern frontline, the military has left Pokrovsk and other important Ukrainian towns exposed, these critics say.

The end is coming—Cut off the incursion will be cut to pieces without NATO Support (or just US/Poland help). Why do I feel we are being set up for WW III—some event is being cooked up to spark a World War. Biden as a war President? Hes going to need a lot more jumpin’ joy juice to give his “Day of Infamy” speech to Congress for the declaration of war.

Meanwhile, Russia seizes more territory in the East.

In other news, Putin has a mental illness, reported since 2014. Meanwhile, Joe Biden is said to be “sharp as a tack!”

Meanwhile...

Great Western Firewall is showing cracks. I guess the truth will start to leak out. People will be shocked when they start hearing that Ukraine is not winning the war; they will wonder what happened, and those who lied will be asking them to keep them in office by voting for them in the upcoming November elections....

Biden lit the world on fire with coup attempts, wars, and talk of wars in the future. To prevent the DNC war with China, just vot the DNC out of office. Trump is taking care of the RINOs.

Drip, drip, drip. Afghanistan, Iraq, Syria, Ukraine, a serious of coup attemps elsewhere, and the coming Globalist war with China.

The BBC internal numbers must show people already learing the NATO narrative is a bust.

Even though the Uniparty politicians on both sides appear like it, there still is the realization that Russia can play tit for tat with us, and we do not want to escalate this any further.

Russia can play this game with us all the way to the end: https://www.independent.co.uk/news/world/americas/us-map-nuclear-war-russia-b2279249.html

I wasn’t very clear - corrected version.

Even though the Uniparty politicians on both sides appear like they want to keep ratcheting things up with the nonsense they spew, there still is the realization that Russia can play tit for tat with us (conventionally, unconventionally, nuclear), and we do not want to escalate this any further.

Russian Nazis just can’t stop genocidally destroying Ukrainians cities one at at time. How “Christian” of them.

Multiple sources say Ukraine’s Donbas line has collapsed and the Ukes are already retreating from Kursk.

I’m on record, 10/1.

By 10/1 the fighting stops. Unconditional surrender, truce, armistice, the entire area turned to fused glass. One way or the other, the killing stops by 10/1.

There are still many more surprises I fear.
Watch and see the West support reinforcing the Ukes in the Kursk pocket or evacuating them. Or stopping the Russians from destroying them there.
Laugh you say?
Watch and see.

Carcass.
Time is a flat circle.
We have done this all before and will do it again.

Amazing what Russia accomplished using less than 300,000 soldiers for over two years. They have systemically destroyed the AFU. Aviation and Artillery. Maintained pressure and exhausted the 10-year build up all the while NATO pumped 1T over two years into Ukraine. The textbooks and the history of how Russia defeated a force 3x its size will be taught if WWIII doesn’t preclude written history;)

I’m just waiting patiently to see the waves of the brand new Ukrainian made “ballistic-missile-drone” to rain down on Moscow’s electrical production...

Russia has mostly hit civilian infrastructure in Ukraine and ravaged villages, while being very bad at hitting the Ukrainian military.

This gives Ukraine the excuse to do the same to Russia now, with one big difference. Ukrainians will not level entire Russian villages... They will continue the successful destruction of Russia’s military infrastructure, but will most probably add the electric production anytime now - as well.

For curiosity sake, how about giving us a hint why things will stop on or about 10/1.

Ukraine was heavily involved in the Clinton Deep-State dossier and Russia-gate nonsense. They amplified and created the Manafort “scandal,” contributed to the dossier, served as a clearing-house for fake attacks on Trump, and assisted Clinton in her fake Russia-gate rumor-mongering

They and their agents in the USA, like the Vindmans, then continued their work on Trump’s impeachment

All the while they were in bed with corrupt payoffs to Uniparty politicians families and associates of people like Biden, Kerry and Romney

Conservatives and American Patriots should have ZERO sympathy for Ukraine’s government. The sooner Ukraine is taken over by Russia, the cleaner American politics will become.
