The *OFFICIAL* Russia Is About To Invade Ukraine Thread

[Al-O-Meter]

Every one of them murdered by Putin. He must be so happy.

Must be because it just happened again. A second convoy filled with Russians was just hit with the same way. The Russian mil-bloggers are demanding the head of whomever sent this second convoy. For the first one they credit the Ukrainians but in this one they think all the blame belongs on a Russian commander.

‘We were sure the Russian army would protect us’: fury after Ukrainian incursion into Kursk

As tens of thousands flee their homes in border region, many say government downplayed threat of invasion

www.theguardian.com

“Many in Kursk blame the government and state media for keeping them in the dark in the face of mortal danger, with outraged residents sharing messages on social media. “I don’t even know who I hate more now: the Ukrainian army that captured our land or our government that allowed that to happen,” Nelli Tikhonova wrote on a Kursk group at the VKontakte website.

On Tuesday evening, when Ukrainian troops were already in Sudzha, Channel One news claimed the Russian army had “prevented the violation of the border”.

Wrong thread, and Israel has never, for 75 years, been the party who wouldn't sign a peace deal with the leadership of the occupied territories. It is the other side who will not give up their 'death to all Jews' position.

That sucks. Maybe Russia should just pack up and go home.

Good idea!

Disaster for Russia as Ukraine set to cut off 3,000 of Putin's soldiers

Ukraine has sought to press home its attack and has shown no sign of curtailing its assault in Kursk.

Thousands of Russian troops face being cut off in what would be a major military embarrassment for Vladimir Putin's generals.

Russia's army is struggling to contain a daring and ambitious Ukrainian attack that has seized so far around 483 square miles of territory, along with 92 settlements.

It seems that Putin's hard-on for reliving the glory days of the USSR includes its early military performances in WW2 and Finland.

It is funnier than that. Putin so wanted to hide that Russia had been invaded that he labeled the Kursk offensive a terrorist attack. The problem there is that terrorist attacks are handled by the FSB and not the Russian military, but the Russian military was already there and they didn’t want to give up control over their soldiers, which put two completely independent sets of commanders in charge.

It has been common for FSB commanders to order Russian troops to do a thing, and for military commanders to order different Russian troops to do a different thing. Then the two groups bumble into each other and start shooting, with each thinking the other is Ukrainians. The Russians are killing as many Russians in Kursk as they are killing Ukrainians thanks to Putin.

I’ll vote for Harris just to keep Ukraine aid flowing. That reason for me is reason enough to vote against Trump. I really don’t know why anyone with a brain would want to empower a wannabe autocrat who wants to write love letters to dictators and feed Europe to Russia and Taiwan to China. It’s really weird.
