  1. First DPRK combat in decades. Welcome to the meat grinder boys.

  2. Might be time for the US to give Ukraine a couple of loaner B2’s loaded up with cluster munitions…

    Fish in a barrel.

  6. This is pretty much worst case scenario. They operation in Kursk stalled and achieved little, now it’s about to get their best brigades mauled by this huge offensive which will likely keep going until they’re done for. Ukraine don’t have the manpower to blunt these kinds of numbers anymore and defending foreign holdings isn’t part of the plan.

    They can’t retreat now either though because if Trump comes in, they need something to trade to take back some critical land.

    This is a very frustrating position for them to be in frankly.

  7. Man, if only someone learned from history what happened at Kursk in 1943.

    If Ukraine has a great defence, it really will be the cause for the fall of the Russian Federation in the same way Kursk was the beginning of the end for Nazi Germany.

  11. If they do it might finally clear up what the fuck is going on at Kursk.

    Because for all the theorizing nobody really knows what Ukraine wants exactly with its Kursk incursion.

    Was it a demonstration, a test, a moral boost, a genuine attempt at opening another front….

    Ukraine facing a Russian counter offensives should clear some fog surrounding that

  12. Next week headline: Ukraine launches offensive in Crimea. 15,000 Russian and NK troops killed in Kursk.

  13. I hope Ukraine withdraws as it was a terrible move from the beginning…pulling reserves from much needed sectors like avdiivka, pokrovsk axis. Kupyansk axis. Vuledar axis. Which were stalwart fortresses for years….like cadia and the eye of terra.

    The point was to pull Russian troops away from these fronts…it failed.

    Now it’s time to pull out and strengthen the front. Rotate units that haven’t had a break for nearly 3 years.

  16. A few hours ago: “Trump tells Putin not to escalate the war in Ukraine…”

  18. They are trying to take as much as possible before Trump get into office because it will become their property.

  19. How have they not still retaken Kursk.

    Not trying to be pro-Russian but I honestly thought the Ukrainian offensive would’ve been over by now.

  20. This is when you lay a lot of mines, blow a lot of infrastructure and elastically defend. Make them work to take it back, but dont hold tight enough that you take heavy casualties too.

  21. Funny to think that none of this would have ever happened if Ukraine held onto their nukes
