    Ukrainian army launched an invasion of Kursk Oblast/ took more territory in three days then Russian Army in last 12 months. So far they have taken 350 sq. kilometers from Putin. Seems their objective is to take the nuclear power plant/ main gas pipeline. They destroyed a Russian convoy sent in to stop offensive/ also blasted the military air complex in Liptest. Meanwhile in Kremlin Putin and his cronies are in shock mode........

    I have been engaged in this latest offensive push, because of the similarity to the Argonne Front tactics. The advance is astounding, sans adequate tank support. Imagine if this was a T50 Yalu Crossing Offensive...this would be the result.

    Impressive.

    I heard that they (Ukraine) sent in 5K elite troop formations to expand even more their territorial gains. Also sent special units into deeper enemy terrain to create havoc and choas. This offensive makes so much sense/ compared to last year where they ran into well prepared Russian defense lines/ millions of mines/ dragons teeth etc. Here they can just walk in and roll forward like German wehrmacht in 41-43. Putin / unlike Stalin has no US/ UK aid/ money. And he cannot force Russians into the meat grinder. This will not end well for Putin and his Kremlin mafia. Of course this invasion would never had taken place had Obama acted in 2014 when Putin seized Crimea/ Russians hot down airliner. Also Biden should have given the Ukrainians advanced long range weapons in Feb. 2022.

    This situation has graduated from the "interesting" category and graduated to the "Ohshitthisisserious" category.
    Absent POTUS, absent VPOTUS.....

    We better damn well think about this in the next 70 days, or start practicing hiding under the desk or in the bathtub with the mattress pulled over you.

    Summary: da Ukes, backed by US/NATO invaded a Nuke weapons country. Said country is afraid and befuddled. Seems putin is in no position to set the terms for the response to his stupidity. His eyes are wide open now and options are few and none good for him. He desperately longs for the return of his lap dog knucklehead, whom he has information over, to back the world down. Sowwy. Made your bed now sleep in it. He wont be around for long no matter how he plays it. Failure is his only option. Are you men or mice?

    Anyone else think maybe one of the primary purposes of the inkurskion's is insurance on the outcome of the US election?

    With Ukraine holding territory in Russia Proper negotiating peace or ceasefire by a Trump administration becomes a lot more complicated.

    From a military perspective, History of recorded conflicts since 1163 does not support the premise.

    But Trump's campaign platform is based on the perspective of a quick political negotiated end to the conflict.

    Which transfers to a helpful position of strength as any conflict negotiation does from....again... a military perspective. The Domino Theory is not in play in this quasi Soviet method. It is closer to the Montgomery Theory.

    Nothing like going on the offensive in a so-called defensive war!

    I am ready for that dumb war to end. Too many people dying, and for what? All over two Russian puppet/aligned provinces?

    Zelensky certainly stepped into it this week. Suppose a Quid Pro Quo Impeachment proceeding is placed on the Congressional Agenda if Harris wins in November?

    CoinOKC T R U M P

    Well, she's the current VP, so impeachment proceedings against her could already begin (and SHOULD begin).
