  1. "Kursk operation is one of the biggest Ukrainian victories." Zelenskyy. If this unmitigated disaster for Ukraine is "one of the biggest Ukrainian victories", it's even scary to imagine how Ukrainian defeats look like.

  2. Ukrainians are stuck after capturing a string of villages in the middle of nowhere at a staggering snowballing cost and this string of villages can't be held anyway due to horrible logistic. This operation proved to be an unmitigated disaster for Ukraine from the military standpoint. Both Zelenskyy and Sirsky are heavily invested in this failed Kursk misadventure, so they are just reinforcing the failure as they did in Krinki, Bakhmut or a failed Zelenskyy offensive in 2023. It's their usual pattern. They kept Ukrainian troops in Bakhmut when all escape routes were under Russian fire control and it turned into a senseless slaughter. But they didn't stop even at that, after May 20, when Russians took Bakhmut they launched for months wave after wave of suicidal attacks in a futile attempt to recapture Bakhmut. I remember even NYT called it an obsession.

  3. The third assault brigade (Azov) refused to fulfill suicidal Syrsky orders (Bakhmut Zelenskyy/Syrsky lunacy all over again) and started running away from Avdiivka. Other units followed suit. They ran under Russian artillery fire and through mine fields with disastrous consequences. Around 500 wounded were left behind in Avdiivka. In any other army generals are court marshaled for such command. Syrsky wanted to turn Avdiivka in Bakhmut 2.0. Zelenskyy and his minions are simply incapable of learning from past blunders. Even NYT noticed in desperation: "Some American officials say the fight in Bakhmut has become something of an obsession for Mr. Zelensky and his military leaders." Bakhmut was a slaughter which was entirely Zelenskyy folly as Stalingrad was entirely Hitler's folly. Zelenskyy just for media hype wasted on average 500 troops daily (total tally was at least 51 000 KIA) in Bakhmut meat grinder even when all escape routes came under Russian fire control and this debacle turned into a sheer slaughter of Ukrainian troops. But obsessed with Bakhmut Zelenskyy didn't stop even at that. Since May 20 when Russians took Bakhmut General Syrsky (Zelenskyy minion) launched wave after wave of suicidal counterattacks failing to retake a single village near Bakhmut (parts of villages Andriivka and Kleshiivka are still controlled by Russians and it's driving Zelenskyy nuts) while wasting thousands upon thousands of hapless Ukrainian conscripts. This ongoing obsessive lunacy that makes zero military sense is simply astounding. Avdiivka is another Zelenskyy obsession. Russians established fire control over all escape routes from Avdiivka . Russians even mined escape routes. At this point it turned into a slaughter of Ukrainian troops which are sent to Avdiivka in huge numbers (yeah, Zelenskyy and his minions are that dumb even after Bakhmut debacle) . Dnipro crossings are another example of Zelenskyy lunatic behavior. Just for media hype Ukrainian command got Ukrainian troops into a small fire sack on Russian bank. It keeps sending troops into this meat grinder without even bothering with the evacuation of the wounded. It's nuts. Zelenskyy is the gift that keeps on giving for Russians.

  4. Never interrupt an enemy making a mistake. It's a string of villages in the middle of nowhere. It's a tiny percentage of the territory of the Kursk region let alone a whole Russia. Russian leadership doesn't think in terms of 24 hour news cycle, creating narratives, "embarrassments" etc. It thinks in terms of winning the war. Zelenskyy already wasted 27,000 of his best troops and tons of equipment on this fool's errand while front in vital for Ukraine places is crumbling, so why interrupt him?

  5. They are Russians of Asian origin. They had documents on them that stated that they were from Southern Siberia and they speak Russian not Korean. NK troops are still invisible in their patent invisibility cloaks.🤣🤣🤣

  6. Zelenskyy wouldn't be Zelenskyy, if he didn't keep reinforcing failure even in the most catastrophic situation. What could possibly go wrong after such disasters for Ukraine like Bakhmut, senseless failed 2023 offensive, Krinky, Avdiivka, Velikaya Novoselka etc.? All roads to this deadly Kursk fire-pocket are under Russian FPV-drone and artillery control 24/7. But this dire situation didn't stop Zelenskyy from sending more and more troops into this horrendous slaughterhouse in a futile attempt to get a less disastrous media picture before forthcoming Riad negotiations. Nobody has ever squandered lives and equipment on such a colossal scale due to media picture obsession before Zelenskyy. It's nuts.

  7. They cut video in such a stupid way that Zelenskyy was simultaneously speaking from the tribune and listening to himself in the audience. 🤣🤣🤣 This happens when you constantly lie to your people about everything in a dictatorship. Propagandists get lazy and negligent.

  9. Trump is a quick learner. He is already starting to get that it's way too late for any meaningful negotiations. The war is lost by Ukraine. Unconditional surrender is the only practical solution for Ukraine at this point. Hitler's Germany also refused to admit defeat until Hitler killed himself, then Keitel signed unconditional surrender. Post war settlement is Russia's business.

  10. Trump shouldn't let Biden's Ukraine war be pinned on him. Fake news media will try to do exactly that in the blink of an eye. He should just immediately after getting in the Oval Office shut down this Ukraine boondoggle for good. He should tell Europeans that if they want to waste their money on this boondoggle, it's up to them, and then just walk away. He shouldn't get entangled in any negotiations. They are pointless. The war is lost by Ukraine, it will be resolved militarily and it would be just a colossal waste of political capital of incoming administration not to keep distance from this unmitigated disaster created by Biden.

  11. You probably meant: What the hell is Ukraine smoking?😂😂😂 Zelenskyy wants to kidnap off the streets not only men, but also women and children. It's his real "victory plan." You should know that even Hitler's Nazis considered Ukrainian Nazis that worked for them too brutal and cruel. Stepan Bandera a founding father of Ukrainian nationalism, plenty of streets are named after him in Zelenskyy Ukraine, in one of his speeches said that he would be happy to exterminate 50% of Ukrainian population to achieve ideological purity. Zelenskyy just follows the ideas of his idol.
