Seems like Ukraine is pushing in Kursk. Strategically looks very odd but my guess is that Ukraine is figthing for whatever territory is worse defended. In the end, land is land and you can later swap it. I would not, it is better to have a chunck of Kursk as "buffer" for the larger cities.

Would it be better if both Russia and Ukraine joined the EU and made Europe stronger and united? Why is Russia against joining the EU while the likes of Turkey wished to?

UK and USA would never allow it. Unity of German industry and Russia resources is biggest threat to them

USA would not allow it, but it may not be possible for them to stop it, just like they could not stop the EU from happening. The UK has no say in the EU - UK has lost plenty of influence in the EU and the Brexit effects added to COVID have left the economy stagnant.

BTW you should read the news if you are assuming the US and the UK have so many common interests.

There is an obvious problem with you "vision" of Germany and Ruzzia: Ruzzia had a big army and has been known to use force to gain territory. Having Germany linked in excess to Ruzzia is simply not safe and strategically is not a good idea to depend on Ruzzia if Ruzzia does not depend on you.

Having said all that, I am going to repeat for the 10th time the same thing: there are winners in this war, but they are not Ukraine, nor Ruzzia, nor the EU, nor (this is just for Branko's personal fixation) the UK. You can clearly see which economies have done well (US) and which ones have gone down (all the rest) due to the war.

The rest is just a blame game and Putin's fixation with having an empire. BTW, Putin was already waging wars all over prior to Ukraine, so keep saying that someone else provoked and all that...



The US can't stop it, and with Trump "IN" may not really want to stop it.

Of course you can see that the US economy has done well. It's all based in the lies you want to believe. Just look at the rise in prices at the US stores since Biden took over. US wages haven't kept up.

There's way more to see when you look at the whole picture, and it mostly isn't MAGA. MAGA restarts now, with Trump, and it mostly doesn't have anything to do with supporting Ukraine. Ukraine is lost, but, really it is gained for the Ukrainians who fled the war.

Cool
