Hmm. You are certainly not operating to the original account handlers level. I get that the site wants to keep its "brands" but you're destroying this once much loved account. I'd just let it go. I cannot even be bothered pointing and laughing. It's very sad.

Yep, just like I said about the ambush.

We’ll find out what the idea of the Ukrainians are in the future but to say there’s no zero strategic importance simply isn’t true.

It's pretty difficult not to see the incursion as anything other than a deflection from the overall course of the war since the failed ground offensive in summer 2022.

The politicians and army top brass who thought it'd be a good idea to place thousands of Ukrainian troops into Russia where the result is a forgone conclusion will be judged harshly. The losses thus far sound heavy and what will it have achieved?

Would Zaluzhnyi have agreed to this move? Has he commented on it?

There’s several obvious reasons why they’d move into Russia, especially via the Kursk Oblast. Also, they wouldn’t commit units like their 80th Air Assault Brigade for abit of propaganda.

Absolutely insane to suggest while Ukraine are in a war of attrition & currently struggling in certain areas that they’d spend their time sending an extremely effective brigade into a scrap for a “deflection”

Putin pulls units out of Ukraine to defend Russia, Kyiv says

Ukrainian army spokesman said Moscow has pulled out “relatively small” number of troops to bolster Kursk against incursion.

My take is that eventually Ukraine will withdraw to more defendable positions but still in the Kursk Oblast.

They will withdraw refit and rest their main offensive units like 80th / 82nd Air Assault. In doing so they will send a message to Putin.. the message simply saying that Ukraine at a time and place of their choosing can mount another offensive into Russia.

Rinse and repeat. Ukraine is now dictating the play.

Where did I claim Russia was an economic superpower?

I stated that the attempt to bring Russia to its knees was foiled by them adapting their economy to different markets, which they did to success, as measure by their economic growth figures.

Oh god, they're going to fill this thread with their foreplay/gibberish aren't they?

100% a factor.

Russian Volunteer Corps and Freedom of Russia Legion have been in & out of Belograd Oblast for ages & then in March starting “raiding” into Kursk. People have called it raiding but if we go off Soviet Doctrine I’d argue now it looks like Recce by Force, so they’ve been planning this for a while.

Brings them closer to key positions in Russia now for strikes, it pulls Russian units away from the front (Russian 155th Marine were apparently in Kharkiv & have been pulled)

Also, if the Ukrainians can get a hold in Kursk itself, theyve then made Russian logistics into Belograd & Kharkiv far more difficult. The E105 is the main route, runs south east from Kursk to Belograd.

Theres 3 strategic ideas behind the move + there could be far more, which only the Ukrainians know

You sound surprised.

He’s been doing it ever since the invasion of Ukraine.

Trying to disguise it with his “ man of the people “ and “ humanitarian “ nonsense.

He’ll give it a good go, I reckon.
