Kursk Gamble: How Russia and Ukraine Plan to Outmaneuver Each Other | WSJ

  4. JMRFK JR. SAID THIS; BIDEN WENT TO ZALINSKI AND ENCOURAGED HIM TO TEAR UP THE PEACE AGREEMENT THAT HAD BEEN MADE BETWEEN RUSSIA & UKRAINE.

  5. Nui Yurk strong hold has just fallen, several others are on the brink. If Chasiv Yar along with Pokrovsk falls the Donbass goes much easier with it. Ukraine in Kursk is flashes and irritating but not like Russia movements in the Donbass.

  8. It was a Hail Mary and it failed strategically. Ukraine committed strategic combat reserves, and Russia bogged them down mostly with conscripts which are not allowed into Ukraine anyway. So Ukraine overextended itself militarily and unlocked Russian reserves. The goal was to apply political pressure, but Russia is not a Western democracy, there's no opposition, or media or public pressure to force them to divert main reserves from Donbass. So Russia just sacrificed Kursk oblast for Donbass. I doubt they are under any pressure on the future to do any trades either.

  9. They are reaching the 1 million Ukrainian/NATO soldiers dead. 3 million crippled. 12 million fled to Europe, 8 million people wanting and are living in the new provinces of Russia.
    What is left is about 20 million people in Ukraine and the last able people are being forced of the street by Zelensky.
    Economy dead, needs 500 billion dollars a year. A whole generation of men sacrificed by NATO. German economy destroyed and EU economies in tatters. 36 trillion debt for the US.

  14. Matthew 24:6-7 (KJV) And ye shall hear of wars and rumours of wars: see that ye be not troubled: for all these things must come to pass, but the end is not yet.

    For nation shall rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom: and there shall be famines, and pestilences, and earthquakes, in divers places. 👈🏼👈🏼

    All of this with Russia, Ukraine, US, EU, Israel has all already been prophesied before. We are in the end times, yeah it's been said for years now but World War 3 is coming! Watch and pray for when the abomination that makes desolate ( The Pope ) steps into the holy place ( That Third Temple the Jews are trying to build ) then will great tribulation come ushering in the coming of the Lord.

    So turn away from the wickedness of this world, the pagan holidays, the sinful ways that are forced on our society and follow God while you still can. Walk in his laws and commandments as written in Exodus 20:1-17, stay steadfast and keep the faith. Peace to everyone reading in Jesus' name ✨🕊️✨

  15. Putin is letting Zelenskyy get cocky, and think he can handle more than he can at once, Russia is shifting more towards psychological warfare. Putin is definitely planning something big. He's sneaky.

  17. Ukraines best troops are now sitting in Kursk while Russia is advancing in Donbass. After Russia is done with Donbass and Odessa they will come for Kursk.

  18. Победы Украины очень сильно преувеличены.
    Все територии на которых мирные граждане подверглись в 2014 бомбежкам, войдут в состав России.
    Потому что нельзя запрещать людям разговаривать, на родном языке, нельзя заставлять людей отказываться от своих убеждений, нельзя заставлять людей восхвалять и салютовать тем кто по их идеологическим соображениям является преступником.

  19. Ukrainians and world peace NEED Russia to win in Ukraine. The war in Ukraine is bigger than Russia and Ukraine. It's a proxy war between a corrupt and inhumane NATO-US alliance (whose masters are the global banking system which enslaves people and countries) against the fast-growing BRICS countries who stand for countries sovereignty and individual freedom with a fair banking and financial system.

    Russia happens to be a leader in BRICS and that makes it the enemy of our globalist enslaving system (WEF, Bank for International Settlements, IMF… ). They control Western media, our finances, our politicians and our institutions, all the way to the Supreme Court. BRICS is the answer. BRICS is the kryptonite to the enslaving globalist agenda of human enslavement. So the goal becomes to weaken Russia to break BRICS but it is failing: Russia is winning.

    Russia is stronger than ever before. Russia single-handedly defeated a US-NATO alliance. This war is over. Prolonging it only causes more death on both side and more territories losses for Ukraine. Russia is producing more ammunition and equipment a month than the entire US-NATO group does in a year. Let that sink in. Russia is also is mobilizing ten times more VOLUNTEERS a month (not kidnapping them like in Ukraine or having) than the entire US-NATO alliance, while recruit numbers have been falling for US-NATO (nobody wants to fight and dies while on the wrong side of history).

    We are on the wrong side of history when we give more money for Ukraine to prolong its suffering, more money for Israel to keep its genocide going in Gaza, more money for Taiwan so they antagonize China. The day you understand that our Western institutions have been infiltrated and compromised by entities who DO NOT have the best interest of humanity at heart, is the day your start understanding geopolitics. Your kids, my kids, our kids will be grateful for Russia and BRICS to win against a demonic and enslaving globalist agenda and its US-NATO arm.

  21. Why do none of these so called Journalists reporting about the Nazis in Ukrainian Army who invaded Russia ? Ukrainian released couple of photos/videos showing some wearing old Nazi SS helmets. Some even wearing Nazi symbols and doing the Nazi salute in Kursk..
