  1. Excellent news…Im so so impressed by the brave ukranian freedom fighters…
    Ordinary russians should be ashamed of themselves…when this is over they are (just like the germans post 1945) all going to claim and pretend they were against Putin and the war the whole time
    For a few this is probably true but most just don’t care

  2. There are no Russian defences between them and Kursk. The Ukrainians are using jammers ahead of swarms of FPV Drones and thunder drive the light armoured troop carriers into the Russian lines while they are being swarmed and at the same time the heavy artillary and slower moving battle groups move up and consolidate their gains. Kersk is in their sights. Slava Ukraini

  3. This is like Pearl Harbor with AFU in the role of Japan. Just as then, the IJN ran wild—-for a time—-just as AFU is now running wild. However, sneaky duplicity in war wins battles, but almost never wins wars. NATO changed their ROE to give Ukraine a chance where there would otherwise have been none. However, the outcome will be just as in 1941: "I fear that all we have done is awaken a sleeping giant, and filled him with terrible resolve.."

  4. If Ukraine can't fire US weapons into Russia can they fire US weapons within Russia? Maybe if Ukraine annexes part of Russia then it's their territory and they can fire weapons in it (and maybe lay mines??)?

  5. z Bot cyper capers filled trumps diapers . Nothing is more powerful whose time has come Thomas Jefferson 1776. Constitution imaliance clause ❤

  6. Trump denied defensive missiles to Ukraine

    in an attempt to extort Zelensky.

    He was impeached for this crime,

    trying to impress Putin

    and win election

    as America's first

    Russian mole

    as president.

  7. The invasion of Ruzzia is a welcome development. Can we assume the Whitehouse approved this as it seems to be contrary to their nervous policy on these matters?

  8. This from a Russian citizen. He saw a Ukrainian soldier and went up to ask him what was happening. The Ukrainian soldier checked his papers and repied "learn Ukrainian and prepare for a referendum. Hahaha GOLD

  9. Unprecedented needs to be stricten from the vocabulary. Everyone bombs and invades, basically acting crazy snd the country always says…Unprecedented … drives me crazy

  10. If this doesn’t illustrate to NATO that Russia is not some indomitable juggernaut, I don’t know what will. This could have been the very ages ago if our leaders had shown more courage and initiative early on. To say Russia wouldn’t stand a chance against NATO itself is an understatement at this point.

  11. The Crimea scenario reminds me of Zhang Fei and the bridge – better to leave the bridge and have the enemy chronically afraid.
