transltn: ‘kiev forces (walked into comatose) kursk (on the 6th) august. the russian military is currently (working out how best to) counter-attack. (after 3 whole months) over half the ukrainian occupied settlements still remain under ukrainian control.’
spokesman peskov reportedly said that “setting up an invasion of one’s own country seemed like a good idea at the time..”. ptn declined to comment but mumbled something about “sweeping under carpet” and “n.korean death stooges”.
you have to admire the courage of ukrainian troops that galantely give their lives for no strategic purpose whatsoever. and while they die in mass, they embarass putin. i think only one of these two things may lead to winning a war. but at least zelensky is not embarrassed to admit its plan was a failure (once again).
‘but at least zelensky is not embarrassed to admit its plan was a failure’
but wait, i have been assured time and again this seemingly reckless piece of negligence by r.f. was in fact a cunning trap/cauldron carefully baited with r.f citizens, farms, villages, railways and a npp??
it couldn’t just have been a fortuitous but effective ukr-nato advance against dozy r.f. defences? please say it ain’t so!!
advance for what ? apart from creating a mountain of fresh ukrainian corpses and destroyed equipement, this ‘effective advance’ has accomplished nothing. because there is nothing of value there. even the western media understand that. you are dancing on the graves of tens of thousands of ukrainian that died for nothing. happy you.
z benefitted in terms of (1) prestige (2) $billions now flowing from the west and (3) he was written off last july.
z/west has already sacrificed 000s slavs from day 1, “fight to the last ukrn” became a cliché in 2022. another mountain of corpses is insignificant against ukr’s 3 month presence in r.f.
r.f. should have taken kiev (and odessa?) in 2022. remember all donbass and zaporozhye became ‘legally’ r.f. in 09/2022, so ukr are occupiers their too.
ok. you’re at a loss. simpleton. prestige for zelensky ? we are not living the same reality. money ? but money is never the problem in a war. troops and equipement, on the other hand, are. what good is money if there is nothing to buy (like artillery shells that make 80% of the casualties in this war) ? you are spouting the incoherent propaganda of the west. if you expect to change people’s mind, it’s because you are so ignorant that you cannot understand why all you say is meaningless.
i replied to ‘zelensky is not embarrassed’, it being a matter of indifference/distrust. rus has bought the west’s propaganda, not me, and acts accordingly (inc giving isr free reign in syr).
political hubris and propaganda can’t hide avoidable political and military errors that have perhaps damaged russia’s myth of territorial invulnerability.
so ‘confront it, resolve it, push back harder’; just as ussr dealt with all ww2 setbacks.
to be honest, they probably thought ukraine wouldn’t be that stupid. just think, the plan was to draw russian troops away from donbas, isn’t that laughable. now they draw their own troops from donbas and get slaughtered on another front
so someone (belousov?) took a gamble with r.f’s security (economics/inexperience?), and lost?
according to all reports the signs were there, with massing of ukr troops on the border. were these just dismissed?
at that stage ukraine needed anything that could be spun as a ‘win’ (whether it was or not); so why weren’t r.f. forces alert to that shift in ‘risk’ perception within ukr decision making?
besides, losses of men were never important to z and co.
i see russian actions in kursk strategic. they bind ukrainian forces in very difficult positions. russia is making second major operation right now during kursk attack. it would be counter productive now to have big losses and let ukraine shift all ukrainian troops from kursk to donetsk defence. better to bleed ukrainian forces in kursk, use north korean forces as cannon fodder and assault in donetsk. while north koreans fight in russian ground, no-one can say anything.
by now those idiots in eurotardistan should have figured it out that their little ukraine adventure is dead on arrival.
better side with the houthis, they at least know how to make things work!
guillable clowns.
yes, sure, whatever. i’ll put this with ‘putin has already lost’. lol. lots of baghdad bob impersonators nowadays.
when the north korean elite expeditionary forces are finally unleashed upon exhausted ukrainian nazies and “mercenaries” from nato countries in kursk, there will be such frenzied barbarity inflicted on those who oppose and resist, the captured and the wounded, that whenever ukrainians and mercs ever see the koreans approaching again, they will turn the other way, throw their weapons away and run as fast as they can.
last vid i saw more then week ago…sf-try to put fresh stuff rather then archive old vids.
i mean come on you dumbfucks! what did you expect when you ventured into kursk? welcome bands and champagne? ukronazis are the dumbest mofos around.
btw first video is russian paratroopers took control of the dam in the kursk regioin – well documented on ria novosti today.
