Selenskyj sagt, ukrainische Streitkräfte hätten bei der laufenden Invasion in Kursk mehr Territorium erobert

I hope one morning I wake up and read like Ukraine destroyed half of the Kremlin, 60% of oil refineries are burning, etc. it would be like another birthday of mine

It’s really bad news for Russia that Ukraine can even do this in the first place. And *still* advancing.

I’m not holding my breath and can’t predict what will happen, but maybe the war is over by years end? Who knows, Putin could be Valkyried tomorrow…

The difference between democracy and dictatorship. One trust their military to do their job and imbue leadership, initiative, and authority to make battlefield decision as necessary.

The other? Dictators want total control, do not trust their soldiers, and in constant fear they will turn their gun against. So they train their soldiers not to think, be proactive and deliberately gutted NCOs which are mainstay of well functioning military.

The incursion of Kurk Oblast by Ukraine clearly show western trained soldiers clearly outthinking, outmaneuvering, and outfighting what should have been strong Russian “counterattack.”

I would like to believe Russian soldiers are just laying down weapons as they likely do not want this war.

I can’t wait for the day I wake up and this fucking war is over, preferably in favor of Ukraine.
