Any of the above, depending on what suits his narrative.

Well, the land in Kursk has been x100 easier to take for Ukraine. Do I need to explain that the losses were minimal, the number of soldiers captured large, that there are more than 1000 km2 taken in a couple of weeks? And make no mistake, Ukraine is very active there still, but the command is just not publishing anything at all.

It has taken thousands of dead soldiers, 11 months and innumerable resources for Ruzzia to take a similar chunk of Donbas. I am not ignoring that Ruzzia got land in there - shattered, mined and ruined land - I am just saying that Ukraine took, and is still taking, a chunk of Kurst at much less cost. You do not get points for effort on this, if you want Kursk back, then you will have to keep the war going for another year and hope your economy and society holds or... give back part of what you took.

The Ukrainian Armed Forces operation in Kursk Oblast was very well organized and is an undoubted tactical success for Ukraine. But strategically, it is a failure. After several days of rapid advancement, the front line stabilized, and now what? I think Syrsky will soon be fired, as the commander-in-chief of the Ukrainian Air Force was recently fired after the F16 was defeated by friendly fire.

Now Ukraine has a buffer zone for Sumi and Ruzzia has a growing problem. The offensive is slower, but it has not stopped at all, there are villages and small towns taken daily.

Strategically. the front line length has not changed, so they can work with the same number of troops but have more territory... let's name it "Northern Ukraine", Kursk is the past.

Putin has two options: trade it - unlikely because he still thinks he should always get the best part in deals - or, that is my guess, spend 11 to 18 months re-taking Northern Ukraine (previously known as Kursk). My guess, this is likely to prolong the war for another year at least, but this time Ruzzia will be bombing inside their (former) territory and will have to evacuate or kill their own (former) citizens.

BTW it seems that Chinese companies are taking secondary sanctions quite seriously. Expect much much less collaboration from their side, at any price. Mongolia has also said no to allowing an oleoduct through her territory.

Number of dead Ukrainians is so absurd that I'll start to believe
in those "they're building Khazaria" stories

[...] The 'Ukrainians' were at every stage given just enough to fight, but never enough to win, and the decisions of 'their' leadership have compounded their mortality and other woes exponentially.

If the conflict is in even some small sense about clearing out the land for a new group, it would be a small number of individuals from a small number of sects who would be 'read-in' and actively working toward that goal. Most 'Jews' would be as clueless about it as anyone; even those who were performing adequately certain elements of 'the plan.' In point of fact (so I see evidence of) some of the more fundamentalist groups of the Jews were actively immigrating 'back' to Ukraine from Israel in anticipation of an event well before shooting started, but probably in such low numbers that it _could_ be explained by simple background noise.

The real tell here is that there is active censorship right here on this laudably censorship-free forum of this whole avenue of exploration by a moderator who clearly has an unusual amount of interest in arcane subjects such as 'blood libel' and that sort of thing. It's perfectly reasonable to question whether the 'moderation' is being done by someone who has some perceived 'skin in the game.' Observations of censorship are, to me, relatively strong evidence that there is a 'there there' when it comes to tamping down on an exploration of a plan involving some flavor of genocide.

1. So, if you can see that they are given just enough and everyone out there can see that they could be given enough, why do you think they are given just (less) that just enough? Do you think someone.. I don't know... for some reason, is happy to see Ruzzia using up the stocks?

2. Your theory about jews occupying Ukraine leaves me wondering... why would they? Jews can live anywhere and hold plenty of power everywhere that matters.

3. I think you can say nearly anything in here. Just ask BADecker if you want to know more about how to abuse the system, oh, and do not complain if the moderator tells you to send this to "Meta".

To what matters: Ukraine is ready to deploy more troops in the Donbas. Ruzzia however is trying to follow the maxim "if you ignore a problem it will solve by itself" in Kursk... however it does not seem to be going away, but growing every day. I would not be surprised if Ukraine gains another 1000 km2 in the next month south of the Seim.

They obviously dont read Paxmao and his propaganda articles

They do read my accurate reporting, just they publish later than me...

Prokhorov's is getting ugly to be honest. Everyone is wondering where does the Ukrainian command intend to put a more solid defence and I am struggling to understand why the F*** they are not building a proper trench system. Trenches if unmanned do not stop shit, but it is far easier to defend. To give proper credit, it is the first thing the Ruzzians did in Kursk, well away from the front - a different thing is if they are going to find operatives that will not run when attacked, but at least they dig-in.

[...]

Overall, I think the Kursk offensive was a good idea. It buys cheap land where it can be bought. Achieving a similar territorial advance not to mention the prisoners captured takes months and thousand of dead anywhere else in the front. It is a trade card.

[...]

BTW, how is Moscow doing? I think some people there got confused and thought they were in Kiev for a while... you know... with strikes and all..

The Kursk offensive obviously cannot go at the same pace or they would be in Moscow in 5 weeks. But slow does not mean stopped. I am looking carefully at the Seim river... I am sure drones too.

Oh, I found this curiosity on-line... a trench clearing termite drone. I rekon Ukraine can get creative in times of need. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lA0BAcntunU
