.... after losing more than 10,000 troops, not including allied Norks, is your example of Russia finally getting serious?

Yep. Pretty much.

They drove them Ukies out after all the media hype/claims that them Ruskies were about to lose the SMO. Then when it was all said and done, they drove them Ukies out of Kursk in six months while advancing in the SMO front and killing 50,000 Ukies who invaded Kursk after Ukies failed again to hold ground -- much less march on to Moscow.

Yep. That's what the facts are.

MR, tell us how this will help YouCrayne retake Territory that Russia now controls.

Do you really think it doesn't? Destroying some of Russia's long-range bomb trucks means fewer strikes on Ukranian positions, or strikes from vehicles that have to risk coming into range of ADA assets.

Ukraine didn’t take out any missiles. That will come back to haunt them.

They took out several missile trucks and recon/command vics. I think that's a pretty good win for them!

No, I don’t. YouCrayne needs warm bodies.
Warm Bodies they are in short supply of.

RussiaUkraine War | Ukraine on Sunday launched one of its largest drone-based operations on Russia to date, striking a base in eastern Siberia thousands of kilometres (miles) from its border. The Russian governor of the Irkutsk region confirmed the attack, saying Ukrainian remote-piloted aircraft attacked a military unit in the village of Sridni, the first such attack in Siberia.

Ukrainian media reported that a large-scale special operation by Ukraine’s Security Service (SBU) has struck “more than 40” Russian aircrafts at air bases in the “rear of the Russian Federation”. Citing officials, Reuters reported that the strikes conducted by the SBU had simultaneously hit four Russian military air bases on Sunday, including airfields at Olenya and Belaya.

“Vlad has shown much restraint…at this point he may as well ditch his SMO and declare war….”

Exactly. Now Vlad is going to sit on top of Oreshnik and launch it. Then, flying at hypersonic speed, Vlad will de-Nazify the whole world. And then there will be peace at last.

“Vlad - - - - declare war”

I seriously doubt it. There are two huge red lines when crossed triggers WWIII. One is nukes, the other is a declaration of war.

I see a massive retaliation, but no formal war declaration, for that automatically means nukes will fly. Even the Ruskies are not that dumb, for they know nuclear war will end the whole damn planet as we know it.

Now Zippy the piano player, the neocons and various world elites do want WWIII. These mindless bastards want the world to end as we know it. They don’t care for they probably think they can survive it and enjoy the wealth Russia has to offer. I can see Russia’s version of the CIA putting these people to sleep, permanently. This may include Linda Graham, as others have noted he could have been a player in this attack.

“nukes will fly”

Russians have 3rd chromosome. They can liberate the whole world without nukes. Just wait until the ground freezes.

Pearl Harbor was a sneak attack by a nation not yet at war. Ukraine’s attack on Russian airbases was a retaliatory strike on an invading force’s assets in an ongoing war.

Pearl Harbor kicked off the war - this attack is 3 years into a war.

Russian wasn't expecting or taking precautions against attacks?!

The Russians look inept and stubborn - in a word losers.

The war started in 1931, when Japan invaded Manchuria.

not for the US - Pearl Harbor got US in to the war (A war between the US and Japan) - one that didn’t exist between the two nations until Japan did that.

All sides have been very dishonest. SideA uses brutality. SideB uses brutality in response. So how does that justify either side doing more brutality?
