Ukraine counter offensive

[ajohn]

900 Days after Putin invaded - and failed to take any of their prime objectives - Ukraine have not only counter attacked but hold 1,000sq km of the Russian region of Kursk after launching a surprise incursion across the border on August 6.

Vlad the Invader has become the Invaded. That's gotta hurt.

Russia did similar fairly recently into Ukraine where the boarder was not well protected. Pundits reckon in both cases it's intended to draw troops from the main front. One report on the Russian response mentioned their national guard and some other group. Used before and essentially can do what ever they like in an area.

Main front. A pundit on AlJ gave an outline of what the Russians are probably up to. 2 towns that are both rail and road hubs. So far not taken.

Video coming out. Both sides look a bit I wonder at the moment.

There is claim that the ukrainain objective was a nearby nuclear power station. This kinda makes sense since they attacked another station and set it on fire.

Fake news.

 

[DiyNutJob]

Fake news.

Ridiculous. How can it be fake news in a respectable democratic, technologically advanced, economically superior, ant-pootin newspaper? What is a man to do then? Come to you for all the real news?

I am not in the fight. I am a commentator of tactics and strategies. Are we grasping at straws?

I drink my milkshake like a man, grab all the straws you like.

Fake news.

No the fire is real.

 

[DiyNutJob]

No the fire is real.

Being real doesn't mean anything. The russians might have set it on fire after the little drones dropping maybe some grenades. The west wants to extricate. It would be to the interest of both russia and ukraine to create conditions for it to stay. Besides, these two are brother nations. It's not hard for them to have a common objective.

I neither like nor dislike. I observe.

It's good for the economy. It worked in ww2. Second time a charm.

you voted for Putins Brexit, the Russian funded Conservative Party, Vladimir Farage and you support Trump the Putin puppet.

So it’s no surprise you want your hero Putin to win

I am surprised a veteran voter of 40 years standing such as yourself got out-voted by him. Was it just beginner's luck on his part?
