Old school propaganda Usually, you better to embarrass someone and peoples paranoia could kick in But with rise of media, you can notice more toxic obsession with it, while it's effect(if your opponent is sentient) is going down In other words, it's just old, somewhat working propaganda, that turned into mindless yapping And this Australian is loves some yapping
The 'obsession' with Stalingrad being because of it's name is laughable. These journos need to go back to school and learn history, stalingrad was one of the largest and most important manufacturing centers, supply hubs and was vital to the oil fields logistical chain from the south which obviously made it an incredibly vital city for the russian war effort, which is why the russians put over a million men there to defend it and knew it was the target.
Correct.also the Germans needed the railway lines to move troops and supplies.they didn’t have enough trucks or petrol to fill the tank.they didn’t have enough horses to pull the carts.the plan to drive towards Stalingrad and the oil in the Caucasus region was the correct one.fourtunally for us the soviets resisted fiercely and the Germans couldn’t brake the Red army
We can add the Volga river as an axis of penetration to the north. Some germans where hoping of using it as a way to supply their lines and continue their attacks to the north.

The US, eternal “victim”.. In Syria, Iraq, Afghanistan, Yemen, Israel, Libya, etc. Then cries, “I’ve been ATTACKED!”, and pretends not to understand WHY the bully got whacked.
The same logic applies to the Putin argument that Ukraine represents a provocation leading to an existential threat to the existence of the RF where in reality no such threat exists.
I listen to you on a daily basis to compare your reports to others I watch. I find some of your remarks on Ukraine tactics and claims laughable. Especially in regards to the Kursk area. This was obviously a US NATO fuck up again. The only thing in the area of any benefit is the NPP to be used as a bargaining chip. Unfortunately a stupid idea. After this complete failure they are bouncing around in an area of no consequence. Minute villages very few civilians streams and forests. Strange that the Russians de mined the front and had very few military in the area. Ukraine all about territory gains but the Russians are smart don’t think like this as per the slow advance saving lives. I can’t be sure but maybe just maybe the Ukrainians have been sucked into a trap. Please explain to your followers the layout of this small part of the Kursk area and how little value it holds. I know it’s hard for you to show a non Western bias. I’m in the UK. Very angry about all this stupidity and hate the US with a vengeance for their warmongering and pig ignorant attitude towards the world
Willy made a video about the secrecy around this operation. Obviously, US and NATO were not in the secret of this operation, otherwises the Russian would have known it and prepared for it. They were as surprised as the russian were, and their analyst are very critic of it, they see it as a tactical gain for strategic loss gamble.

Everything is negotiable eventually. Russian discourse is absolutist and they don’t have a habit of conceding publicly but they are also rational. Example: the red lines they projected in the media have been crossed several times without the repercussion. The main strength of a dictatorship is projection of power by sowing fear. Russia is on a slope to collapse.
There will be negotiations but right now Ukraine does not have a Russian leader to negotiate with, Russia is fucked, seriously, anyone not seeing that right now is purposefully not looking at the situation, these minor advances by Russia will be reversed very quickly by Ukraine with minimal loss of life, if you can't see that you are going to be pleasantly surprised.
That is itself a position of negotiation. This is not irony at work. Belligerence is a position from which negotiation may emerge. Ukraine may help by putting on additional pressure. Which at this moment is definitely on the cards..
From Russian perspective, Russia has already annexed Donbas, it is as much of Russian territory as any other region. There's no logical reason to put higher precedence on Kursk, and zero point in stopping a well moving effort to liberate Russian territory in Donbas.
There is a difference. Not per "official russian position" obviously as you correctly concluded, but in fact it still IS foreign land to most russians and even russia treats it differently. Officially russian conscripts won't be sent (for now) to Ukraine but, on the other hand, people on Ukrainian territory are press ganged into the army and sent against their compatriots, often in suicidal attacks. Don't let yourself get fooled by official announcements from Moscow. They will say one thing on one and the other the next day if it fits them and if necessary even both or even a third position in the same press conference (not too different from other politicians of course, but they are using this much more than most other).
The Ukrainian push into Kursk is a short term tactical victory that creates long term strategic problems and possibly insurmountable diplomatic consequences. The idea of the Russian Ministry of Defense dropping its operational objectives and doing what the opponent wants them to do... is rather ridiculous. The Kursk offensive makes it possible for a actual state of war to now be acted upon as the border boundary has the potential to escalate the conflict. The Russian Federation has been treating this situation as they have described it... a special military operation. The ethnically Russian areas of Ukraine were ceded by Khruschev to Ukraine in order to create a strong bond between them and to make Ukraine a viable nation state within the Soviet Union. The expansion of the battle line will work against Ukraine. The logistical supply issues and manpower issues are going to hurt the main battle lines. Once the primary Russian Federation Ministry of Defense goals are met... they will now move North and cut off whatever Ukrainian forces are to their East... creating a pocket and slowly grinding down and encircling them. Politically this move is going to be very costly once the peace process begins. By crossing the Russian Federation border the Ukrainian leadership has traded a short term publicly victory into a dangerous long term consequence. This increases the possibility of Ukraine being a land locked agricultural failed nation state by the end of the conflict... With the final border being closer to Kiev. The western press not reporting on the coup in Ukraine in 2014 does not change the fact that it happened. President Zelensky ran on a platform of multiculturalism and multiethnic respect but was not able to maintain control of the Banderists. The Russian Federation incursion was more prepared to have a parade in Kiev and have a election and referendum than a full on war. The intelligence operations that facilitated the coup and corrupted the Russian information and perspectives did a tremendously effective job early on... Unfortunately the corruption and cronyism that facilitated the successful intelligence actions and operations is undermining the long term viability of this conflict. Had the Ukrainians not sold off their vast Soviet era weapons... they would not need western assistance. The western blueprint of the Russians and Ukrainians fighting it out in ethnically Russian regions of Ukraine until Russia went bankrupt and Russian citizens were unsupportive in a replay of the Soviet-Afghanistan war... Was a pipe dream. The Soviet Union was unaware of the covert actions induced by Charlie Wilson. Whereas the economic and military support by the US, the UK and most of NATO in this situation are overt. With those overt actions creating the necessity for the Russian Federation to act in its own interests and self defense. The propaganda campaigns and psychological emotional manipulations using psychological warfare processes to generate hostility against the Russian Federation for the actions of the Soviet Union era fiascos, debacles, famines, abuses have been very successful, but really very useful. The modern Russians did not commit those actions. The modern Russians are not communists. The western oligarchy wants the resources of Mother Russia. That’s what this is really about. The corruption culture profiteering objectives are behind the spending. The Western Hedge funds contractual obligations on Ukraine are part of the “you will own nothing and be happy...” agendas. This breadbasket of Europe not being at peace and shipping its grain to the world is part of the engineered future famine scenario that the western oligarchy is attempting. As they attempt to shutdown small farms and systematically manipulate the markets and food security. By the contractual obligations between the nation of Ukraine and the western hedge funds the Ukrainian citizens are going to be indentured servants and most farmland, factories, resources are to owned by hedge funds. The country will have social credit scores and digital currency in a police state owned by technocrats, corporations and plutocrats. The weaker that Ukraine is after the war the stronger the western oligarchic controls over the remnants will be. Don’t worry Ukraine wont be alone for long... As shown by the Authoritarians in the EU and in the UK... with the UK commonwealths not far behind. The world is being ran by narcissistic sociopathic social engineering networking networks facilitating narcissistic sociopathic sociopolitical and economic exploitation agendas and purposes related to facilitating hierarchical social structures facilitating hegemonic control systems. With most of the events in the world being part of the theatre. Distraction, deflection, misdirection and obfuscation repeatedly playing out.

Behind Stalingrad there is nothing but open steppe. Losing stalingrad wouldve lost the soviets the war. Not to mention the logistical industrial importance. Shouldnt journalists do some research before they speak? They get paid for speaking
Territory being exchanged wont be straight km for km. It will depend on the strategic/economic importance of the territory and the percentage of one nations entire territory/GDP that is occupied. The area occupied in kursk is easily worth almost nothing in negotiations.
But wait, there some boy that expects Soviet style lines for bread, because how agriculturally important Kursk is Personally, I don't know and don't care, since I remember that we actually destroy our own over producer wheat, so I guess we will be fine
I doubt Russia will agree to any negotiations at this point. They likely see the Kursk offensive as a NATO operation funded by NATO, using NATO equipment, using NATO advisors, using NATO targeting and intelligence, probably co-planned by NATO, and using NATO paid AFU manpower. So their only option is regime change in Kiev and all that entails. As for current tactics, the Russian side is thinking in economic terms. So if some land is temporarily occupied, they probably see it as an opportunity to increase the attrition of their adversary...
I believe the Russian southerly push in Pokrovsk axis is to gain control of the E50 highway. They will likely push past it to create a buffer, maybe even down to link up with the forces in Krasnohorivka. The E50 is a high-quality paved road and would greatly ease logistics as they move towards Pokrovsk.
likewise kursk push grabbed a train line...then we have those 3000 troops being the elite guys you don`t wanna lose...then we have the pipeline...the harvest...and the troops...oil fire and airforce bases...so while it`s a issue to send your best troops...you just captured a tidy chunk of the other guys best as well
Pokrovsk is much harder to take than Bakhmut, which led to disaster for Wagner and the big rebellion that nearly drove Putin from Power. Finally he manged to eliminate his old friend with a bomb in the plane. This war is total disaster for Russia - destructive and fascist in its origin. When will they ever learn.
Let's wait the next 3 months if that was a good idea and more effective. If you not informing important people of your strategy don't expect help from them if you need them.
Effective ? Ukraine is not able to hold positions they build 10+ years so they split forces and move half of it in to the Kursk encirclement where they have no fortified positions. Half of the army is in Russian fields with no build up positions and other half is losing big important cities day by day even faster then before. Well ..pure genius if you ask me.
Talking of genius. Russia was in a bad way demographically for decades. Imagine if the human, mineral, geographical and agricultural plum Ukraine is, had fallen into into his lap 2½ years ago. But it wasn't to be was it. The Ukrainians didn't approve. But instead of backing off, the strongman the dictator, that Putin, being the fool that he is, has ensured disaster for both. Doubling down has not proven to be particularly smart. Coming out of left field just may be.
It's easy. Everyone who played SC2 knows this situation. You notice you lost the game, but you still have a bit of army. what are you going to do with the army? sent them into the death ball of your enemy and watch them die or will you try to sneak into his base and go for a base trade since his is leading, he has much more to lose. they even say what they want. they want to take some stuff so they can later trade it for something else. this is a move you do when you have basically lost and you don't try to win anymore but to reduce your loses (in terms of territory not soldiers)

Last time I took a look at Ukraine's population it was 30 million, and in a downward spiral. The 3 causes were 1 " natural decrease" I.e. not enough babies to replace the existing population, 2 emigration - economy and war driven and 3 deaths in war. In addition, the Ocupied Area population can no longer be counted. So at very most 28 million and rapidly falling. Post war with a hard border with Russia and mutual sanctions assumed, this decline will continue.

Ukraine's move into Kursk is the exact opposite of sound attritional war doctrine. They are overextending themselves for quick and meaningless gains on the map, while Russia continues to demilitarize and denazify the country from 3 sides.
Considered how many armed groups openly Nazis in Russia that operate with the official blessing from Kremlin, we can conclude that "de-Nazing" anything isn't a priority of Kremlin. As for war doctrine, already Sun Tzu said you fight where the enemy is weak, not where he is strong. Sitting in trenches waiting for a glide-bomb to arrive was obviously not a winning concept. Attritional warfare is fundamentally about which side has more political will, and if the Kursk offensive can force a Russian mobilisation (we saw how popular the last one was), that is detrimental to Putin's grasp of the political power.

What if Russia doesn't see any difference between Donbass and Kursk, as both are constitutionally part of Russia? In this case they won't swap anything.
Russia has a history of trading land for time. I'm not sure land capture is the most important factor here. It certainly is a factor, but not the most important one. Also doesn't this give the Russians an excuse to use conscripts in Russian that can't legally be used in the SMO zone.
Precisely. Ukraine is suffering major casualties among its elite troops holding a landscape of little military or economic value -- purely for the value as propaganda in western media. The incursion force is too small to take any significant town or well defended site further inside the Kursk Oblast. It's a PR 'win' but a net loss.
Yes they have the excuse, but I am not sure they will do so, or only in a vital emergency (Nuclear Power Plant), or symbolic (look, our boys are doing great one hundred km from the front). Conscripts are not good soldiers, they tend to disband. They may be used in a second time as a sort of police force in the liberated zone, but that's all.
Ukraine is making use of the many units guarding the border which Russia has decided it won't even guard properly. Not to mention making use of a spearhead not being used. The Russians not only have to amass the forces to drive the Ukrainians out, but establish units to stop a repeat. See how it works? You guys like to shout out copium but you more than indulge.
Did it trade ground? Why would it trade ground for a country that doesn't have the resources to take it? You make no sense in the face of the unexpected. Russia lost ground because it didn't have the resources to guard it. Hundreds of miles of basically open border with a country it's at war with. For the Ukrainians to chose entry as it sees fit. Russia is so unprepared that it still can't organise an effective response. I'm sorry guys, but all that shouting about others indulging in copium? Well....

I don't actually think Ukraine attacking the NPP would be any different. We pretend that we don't know who attacks that Zap NPP and just report that "Both sides have accused each other", so we just allow Ukraine to attack it.
Russia calls the Kursk as anti-terrorist operation, and you know what people say, we don't negotiate with the terrorists, so negotiation is off the table. So I think Russia will keep pushing forward towards Kiev and when Kiev asks for negotiation, Russia will demand the turn over of Zalensky to face terrorism charges, and until Ukraine turn over Zalensky, the war will go on. PS: And what will Ukraine do when the fall comes, and everything but paved roads turns to mud swamp? It will become logistically impossible to supply troops at the Kursk front because of the loitering munitions, the Kursk front will just wither and die.
The SMO was in fact from the beginning a war against terrorism because Ukraine was massacring the civilian people of Donbas. And even in the SMO they are willingly killing civilians and that's the way terrorists act.
The SMO was in fact from the beginning a war against terrorism to end the massacre of civilian Donbas people by the Ukrainians.

It’s might be premature and wishful thinking to assume the Kursk offensive is Ukraine’s last gasp. It could be a distraction for the upcoming significant offensive in Ukraine. This might be reason why Ukraine isn’t doing everything to stop current Russian offensive because it has the idea they can hit a home-run with another offensive in Ukraine. It’s clear NATO has given Ukraine far more arms than stated publicly. The amount of equipment being sacrificed in Kursk is huge. Strange how all the previous talk of ammunition and manpower shortages in Ukraine has diminished. Russia is clearly confident war is going well or else you see another round of mobilization being announced. 15k-30K troops in Kursk suggests possibility Ukraine could still have a huge reserve of more hidden well armed troops for another offensive and they have thinned there lines for that purpose and that’s why Russia is having some success in Donbas.
You propose such 5D move for Ukrainians, that gladly died for bakhmut with "not even a single step back"? On top of that, risking publicly humiliating NATO advisers and donors in this TikTok era? I would doubt that, because of Zelensky actions around Israel and attention to Ukraine. He is not supposed to freak out about support, if everything is going "according to plan". Remember how MASSIVELY people view peoples morale
Yeah the Russians will let Wagner and the Chechens chase the Ukrainians around in circles in Kursk destroying as much new flash NATO gear as they can while the steamroller works on in the East, I have a feeling there are more ambitions than the Donbas, liberating all Historically Russian areas would require crossing the river once again, the Mad Max scenario in Kursk actually assists Russia greatly in this greater goal.
I think Kursk was bait for the Ukrainian reserves, and Ukraine has fallen for a trap... Its important Russia convinces Ukraine it can have success in Kursk to trick them into over committing
The ideal outcome for Russia was to control the Kherson and Odesa regions to block sea access, turning Ukraine into an agricultural country only. However, they could settle to divide the country using the Dnipro River as the border.

Most of the other '92' places claimed by Ukraine are hamlets with few if any inhabitants. Pokrovsk city, by contrast, had over 60,000 inhabitants pre-war but now only a few thousand including pro-Russians awaiting liberation are left.

Thanks, Willy OAM. See Preston Stewart's latest podcast about a savvy Soviet unit ambushing rapidly advancing (forward units) of the Ukrainians. Ukraine may have to send a special unit up there to deal with them. They showed the Bushmaster you showed on your podcast yesterday,
12:08 Ukraine was ALREADY manning this defensive line in Sumy. Pushing out the defense to being within Russia, but otherwise being the same size, doesn't actually make them commit "more" troops, they are just moving the existing troops further forward.
American message to the Ukrainians: "You do all of the dying - we can do all of the winning" * This is all we - Ukrainians need to know about this proxy NATO vs Russia war: “Being an enemy of America is dangerous, being a friend of America is fatal.” - Henry Kissinger (?) * "Betrayal is the public moral of Ukraine."- Zbigniew Brzezinsky, "The Great Chessboard", 1996. * >>>I guess it was the 12th or 13th time to Kiev, and I was supposed to announce that there was another billion-dollar loan guarantee. I got a commitment from Poroshenko and from Yatsenyuk that they would take action against a state prosecutor, and they didn’t. “So as they were walking out to the press conference, I said, nah, we aren’t going to give you the billion dollars. They said you have no authority, you are not the President. I said call him. I’m telling you, you are not getting the billion dollars. “You are not getting the billion; I am leaving in six hours. If the prosecutor is not fired, you are not getting the money. “Well, son of a bitch, he got fired.>If you put aside the immense human suffering and look at Ukraine’s war through the cold lens of international power politics, a clear picture emerges: the West is having a good war against Russia. All NATO has to do is send Kyiv munitions, equipment and money, which, as any general knows, is the c h e a p e s t way to wage war. (...) The lives are being given by the Ukrainians. They’re defending their nation but also, inadvertently, helping decide the Cold War. For 70 years, NATO deterred a Moscow attack westwards. The Russians eventually invaded, last February, what they assumed would be a conquerable target on their south-western border. The war that NATO long prepared for is finally being fought.
@@benjichaser72 those countries actually wanted to be part of nato. all of them. there were popular votes held in every country. any eastern european country wants to be completely out of russian influence. it is pretty offensive to suggest that all the european countries are slaves to the us, with no autonomy and no right to decide their own future, while russia is the savior. as far as i'm concerned, anyone from an ex-communist country who is supporting russia in any way, is actually a traitor to its country. same goes for the usa, please understand that if you are on putin's side, you are rooting for the enemy, therefore you are a traitor. you say you love your country, but you root for its enemies, makes no sense
If what's left of the Ukrainian invasion force reached Kursk city they'd be unable to occupy it anyway, especially as Russia's stationed a significant garrison there.
In these comments are people who don't know that saying there will be no negotiations is a negotiation tactic. In the beginning stages of negotiation, if you cant walk away you still act like you can
Who believes that Russia would trade areas of Kursk vor areas of Donetsk is seriously mistaken. Both are Russian territory according to the Russian constitution and thus forbidden to be traded to any foreign power. If any Russian administration would nonetheless go on to permanently surrender such territory in a peace deal, it would lose all authority within Russia - which is the silent hope in Kiev and Brussels, which in turn is yet another reason why it won´t happen.
Bruh, history legends is literally trash talking both sides equally. When Russia is doing well - he's laughing at Ukraine. But you can't deny that Russian army fucked the defence of Kursk up. And I'm a Russian btw
As of August 21, 2024, the situation of the Armed Forces of nato nazi Ukraine continues to deteriorate rapidly, not only in the Donbass but also in the Kursk region. So, a few minutes ago, many reputable war correspondents officially reported that over the past day, the Russian Armed Christian Forces had established control over three strategically important settlements in the Pokrovsk direction of the front. In particular, it is reported that under the onslaught of Russian troops, the Armed Forces of Ukraine were forced to flee from such settlements as 'Krasny Yar', 'Mezhevoye', and 'Kamyshevka'. Over the past day, the total advance of the Russian Army in this direction of the front was 20 km. According to war correspondents, Russian troops have already come close to the outskirts of one of the most important cities in Donbass - 'Pokrovsk
Nothing new in the last 10 years. Ukraine is in its repertoire - it does the same thing on the territory of Russia that it has been doing in Donbas for 8 years
He won't Doesn't fit the narrative This clown is a western puppet. I hope that man finds peace and raises his son well.. sicking act from the Bandera but they have been doing this since 2014
At this point, Ukraine is just training a very large Russian fighting force. Russia will emerge from this, with the best trained and most integrated military in the World, bar none. They won't be peer to NATO, but superior.
@@terryharris1291 Time will prove me right. But I guess you are too scared of the potential consequences, to actually entertain the thought. That's called cognitive dissonance, and you would probably benefit from looking it up.
You may have a point with the push of Kursk. Look at history, with no natural barriers in the east European plain, Russia has used it's vast area to tie up and eventually defeat it's foes. Look at Napoleon or the Germans in ww2.
There is glory in death, but at least you should let the choice to these poor young people to go elsewhere, if they don't want to die for «the glory of ukraine.»
If you really cared about Ukrainian soldiers, you would be doing everything to stop this war. They never had a chance and were tricked into thinking they did to benefit the military industrial complex in my country. We are doing good. My state makes HIMARS.
I’m pretty sure Pokrovsk will eventually fall if Ukraine doesn’t do anything. The only thing is that Ukraine does not have to react to Russian offensive in Pokrovsk for a few months. There is a defensive line set up in front of the city and if the Russians ever do reach the city, Ukraine has lots of time to delay through urban warfare (unless Russia encircles the city which will also be costly). I hope Ukraine can pull through, but I’m not stupid enough to believe that Ukraine is in a good position. Edit: Now that I am seeing the defensive works at 7:46. If Russia diverts its attention away from Pokrovsk for other targets, that will be a significant issue for Ukraine. That is probably what is going to happen if Ukraine does nothing. Edit: Russia is probably reaching Pokrovsk somewhere in September. Not looking the best over there.
The Russians will reach Pokrovsk by mid September. They are pushing through the final Ukrainian defensive lines at the moment. The troops heading towards Pokrovsk won’t be redeployed else , it’s a Army Corp just for that area .
Сначала русские возьмут Новогродовку и Селидово.... Нанесут удар на Карловку, тем самым высвободят часть своих войск и сократят логистическое плечо. Затем нанесут удар в район Курахово, тем самым обрушат весь юго-восточный фронт. Затем ударят на Великую Новоселовку и еще больше выпрямят линию фронта... и лишь затем, всерьез займутся Покровском.
I though Ukraine was matching on and it was just a matter of time until they take the power plant and force negotiations? Anyone with a brain knew this wasnt going to end well for Ukraine.
Willie Prokrovsk is a much larger city than bakmut, the Russian army will have to expend 10s of thousands of soldiers to take it. Unfortunately for Russia they no longer have to expendable Wagner's and there shovels to take it 😅
You believe the western version of Russian siege operations? As with Adviika and Bakhmut, the defenders of Prokrovsk would be shredded over weeks by guided bombs and artillery before being forced out/liquidated in detail, hence far higher losses among defending Ukrainians than the attackers in every 'siege' so far.
Itd like uve ignored that russia has annexed the 4 oblasts. That these were a primary goal of war. And that logistically ukraine has to move food, fuel, ammo and healthcare into this area and sustain this and troop rotatiins. Time is not on their side. Iznt this obvious? I dont see Russia swapping anything inless its weaker then we know.
I think this will go like a smaller version of Kherson and Kharkov in 2022. Russia will withdraw into positions they can defend and hold the line until reinforcements. Where these reinforcements come from, I don't entirely know. Do they need to come off fronts further south or do they already have the manpower there? Will there be another draft of men like in 2022, I don't know. If so, won't be as big, and I'd expect further strengthening of the Russian border all the way up to Belarus. In all, I don't think this offensive is worth it. The really valuable land is being fought over in the Donbass, Kherson, and Zaporizhzhia. Better sea access, good fertile soil, not as cold as up by Kursk. Kherson has been pretty quiet, but still, Russia establishing a solid hold across the Dnipro gives a shot at Odessa. I don't think they'll try it until Ukraine forces are weak enough.
I see a major issue with the claimed irrelevance of manouvers and territorial gains. And that is in my view that gaining territory in a place can make sense also in attritional war if that leads to a better operational position for the attritional aspect. So for example taking Chasov Yar would significantly improve the position of the Russians, where they could bunker up after taking the town and use the high grounds and location to inflict losses on Ukraine in a more effective way. Similarly the Russians are famous for their shovels, i.e. their ability to fortify and defend positions. In the east they have all their artillery EW, drone teams and airforce well integrated with the current frontline. In Kursk region however none of these elements are particularly well integrated or fortified. A HIMARS might hit a hidden and fortified position and achieve little in the east, but might then be very effective against the arriving reinforcements in the north. So my thoughts are that while many reasons jointly motivated the Ukrainians to do the Kursk incursion, one aspect certainly is that their troops can be much more effective, from an attritional perspective, when they attack a dispersed and disorganized enemy.
The areas of Ukraine, they could pull soldiers from Crimea Left bank towards the azov Luhansk - even if they were pushed back here, Ukraine couldn’t get the svatove kremina line last time Why would they move anyone from the other areas?
A monumental disaster and misuse of finite resources. Agree or not but Ukraine is loosing a large amount of equipment and precious manpower in Kursk with no real clear goal or end game.

The 'obsession' with Stalingrad being because of it's name is laughable. These journos need to go back to school and learn history, stalingrad was one of the largest and most important manufacturing centers, supply hubs and was vital to the oil fields logistical chain from the south which obviously made it an incredibly vital city for the russian war effort, which is why the russians put over a million men there to defend it and knew it was the target.
Correction. Not Russians, Soviets. I say this as a Russian patriot, it is important to remember we didn't fight and bled for that victory alone.
Correct.also the Germans needed the railway lines to move troops and supplies.they didn’t have enough trucks or petrol to fill the tank.they didn’t have enough horses to pull the carts.the plan to drive towards Stalingrad and the oil in the Caucasus region was the correct one.fourtunally for us the soviets resisted fiercely and the Germans couldn’t brake the Red army

Willy you should spend some time listening to the Russian leadership, there will be no negotiations.
Everything is negotiable eventually. Russian discourse is absolutist and they don’t have a habit of conceding publicly but they are also rational. Example: the red lines they projected in the media have been crossed several times without the repercussion. The main strength of a dictatorship is projection of power by sowing fear. Russia is on a slope to collapse.
There will be negotiations but right now Ukraine does not have a Russian leader to negotiate with, Russia is fucked, seriously, anyone not seeing that right now is purposefully not looking at the situation, these minor advances by Russia will be reversed very quickly by Ukraine with minimal loss of life, if you can't see that you are going to be pleasantly surprised.

Officially russian conscripts won't be sent (for now) to Ukraine but, on the other hand, people on Ukrainian territory are press ganged into the army and sent against their compatriots, often in suicidal attacks.
Don't let yourself get fooled by official announcements from Moscow.

@@MrRoyalbeersDid Kursk vote to join Ukraine?
The Ukrainian push into Kursk is a short term tactical victory that creates long term strategic problems and possibly insurmountable diplomatic consequences.
The idea of the Russian Ministry of Defense dropping its operational objectives and doing what the opponent wants them to do... is rather ridiculous.
The Kursk offensive makes it possible for a actual state of war to now be acted upon as the border boundary has the potential to escalate the conflict.
The Russian Federation has been treating this situation as they have described it... a special military operation.
The ethnically Russian areas of Ukraine were ceded by Khruschev to Ukraine in order to create a strong bond between them and to make Ukraine a viable nation state within the Soviet Union.
The expansion of the battle line will work against Ukraine.
The logistical supply issues and manpower issues are going to hurt the main battle lines.
Once the primary Russian Federation Ministry of Defense goals are met... they will now move North and cut off whatever Ukrainian forces are to their East... creating a pocket and slowly grinding down and encircling them.
Politically this move is going to be very costly once the peace process begins.
By crossing the Russian Federation border the Ukrainian leadership has traded a short term publicly victory into a dangerous long term consequence.
This increases the possibility of Ukraine being a land locked agricultural failed nation state by the end of the conflict...
With the final border being closer to Kiev.
The western press not reporting on the coup in Ukraine in 2014 does not change the fact that it happened.
President Zelensky ran on a platform of multiculturalism and multiethnic respect but was not able to maintain control of the Banderists.
The Russian Federation incursion was more prepared to have a parade in Kiev and have a election and referendum than a full on war.
The intelligence operations that facilitated the coup and corrupted the Russian information and perspectives did a tremendously effective job early on...
Unfortunately the corruption and cronyism that facilitated the successful intelligence actions and operations is undermining the long term viability of this conflict.
Had the Ukrainians not sold off their vast Soviet era weapons... they would not need western assistance.
The western blueprint of the Russians and Ukrainians fighting it out in ethnically Russian regions of Ukraine until Russia went bankrupt and Russian citizens were unsupportive in a replay of the Soviet-Afghanistan war...
Was a pipe dream.
The Soviet Union was unaware of the covert actions induced by Charlie Wilson.
Whereas the economic and military support by the US, the UK and most of NATO in this situation are overt.
With those overt actions creating the necessity for the Russian Federation to act in its own interests and self defense.
The propaganda campaigns and psychological emotional manipulations using psychological warfare processes to generate hostility against the Russian Federation for the actions of the Soviet Union era fiascos, debacles, famines, abuses have been very successful, but really very useful.
The modern Russians did not commit those actions.
The modern Russians are not communists.
The western oligarchy wants the resources of Mother Russia.
That’s what this is really about.
The corruption culture profiteering objectives are behind the spending.
The Western Hedge funds contractual obligations on Ukraine are part of the “you will own nothing and be happy...” agendas.
This breadbasket of Europe not being at peace and shipping its grain to the world is part of the engineered future famine scenario that the western oligarchy is attempting.
As they attempt to shutdown small farms and systematically manipulate the markets and food security.
By the contractual obligations between the nation of Ukraine and the western hedge funds the Ukrainian citizens are going to be indentured servants and most farmland, factories, resources are to owned by hedge funds.
The country will have social credit scores and digital currency in a police state owned by technocrats, corporations and plutocrats.
The weaker that Ukraine is after the war the stronger the western oligarchic controls over the remnants will be.
Don’t worry Ukraine wont be alone for long...
As shown by the Authoritarians in the EU and in the UK... with the UK commonwealths not far behind.
The world is being ran by narcissistic sociopathic social engineering networking networks facilitating narcissistic sociopathic sociopolitical and economic exploitation agendas and purposes related to facilitating hierarchical social structures facilitating hegemonic control systems.

Personally, I don't know and don't care, since I remember that we actually destroy our own over producer wheat, so I guess we will be fine
I doubt Russia will agree to any negotiations at this point. They likely see the Kursk offensive as a NATO operation funded by NATO, using NATO equipment, using NATO advisors, using NATO targeting and intelligence, probably co-planned by NATO, and using NATO paid AFU manpower. So their only option is regime change in Kiev and all that entails. As for current tactics, the Russian side is thinking in economic terms. So if some land is temporarily occupied, they probably see it as an opportunity to increase the attrition of their adversary...
I believe the Russian southerly push in Pokrovsk axis is to gain control of the E50 highway. They will likely push past it to create a buffer, maybe even down to link up with the forces in Krasnohorivka. The E50 is a high-quality paved road and would greatly ease logistics as they move towards Pokrovsk.
likewise kursk push grabbed a train line...then we have those 3000 troops being the elite guys you don`t wanna lose...then we have the pipeline...the harvest...and the troops...oil fire and airforce bases...so while it`s a issue to send your best troops...you just captured a tidy chunk of the other guys best as well

Pokrovsk is much harder to take than Bakhmut, which led to disaster for Wagner and the big rebellion that nearly drove Putin from Power.

Zelensky's new strategy of not announcing their next offensive, is much more effective.

Effective ? Ukraine is not able to hold positions they build 10+ years so they split forces and move half of it in to the Kursk encirclement where they have no fortified positions. Half of the army is in Russian fields with no build up positions and other half is losing big important cities day by day even faster then before. Well ..pure genius if you ask me.

the population difference between russia and ukraine was 3:1 at the break up of the ussr, some 150mio : 50mio.
after decades of bad fertility for both, russia replaced that with re-immigration from former ussr countries, but ukraine did not, but lost a lot of people to emmigration.
during the conflict there were lots of changes as well, most of the population of the 4 conquered oblasts have to be counted for russia and also millions have emmigrated from ukraine to russia and to the west. so, the population comparison is now somewhere between 5-7:1, it is some 150mio : 20-28mio.
thats an 100% error, willy

Last time I took a look at Ukraine's population it was 30 million, and in a downward spiral.

In addition, the Ocupied Area population can no longer be counted. So at very most 28 million and rapidly falling. Post war with a hard border with Russia and mutual sanctions assumed, this decline will continue.

Considered how many armed groups openly Nazis in Russia that operate with the official blessing from Kremlin, we can conclude that "de-Nazing" anything isn't a priority of Kremlin.
As for war doctrine, already Sun Tzu said you fight where the enemy is weak, not where he is strong.
Sitting in trenches waiting for a glide-bomb to arrive was obviously not a winning concept.
Attritional warfare is fundamentally about which side has more political will, and if the Kursk offensive can force a Russian mobilisation (we saw how popular the last one was), that is detrimental to Putin's grasp of the political power.
@@johanmetreus1268 Fight THE ENEMY where he is weak. Not "take undefended farmlands". Ukraine is taking men from collapsing front lines to invade a part of Russia with very few troops. That is not what Sun Tzu was advocating.

What if Russia doesn't see any difference between Donbass and Kursk, as both are constitutionally part of Russia? In this case they won't swap anything.
Russia has a history of trading land for time. I'm not sure land capture is the most important factor here. It certainly is a factor, but not the most important one. Also doesn't this give the Russians an excuse to use conscripts in Russian that can't legally be used in the SMO zone.
Precisely. Ukraine is suffering major casualties among its elite troops holding a landscape of little military or economic value -- purely for the value as propaganda in western media. The incursion force is too small to take any significant town or well defended site further inside the Kursk Oblast. It's a PR 'win' but a net loss.
No need. 20-30k volunteers/mo. Meeting recruitment goals.
Yes they have the excuse, but I am not sure they will do so, or only in a vital emergency (Nuclear Power Plant), or symbolic (look, our boys are doing great one hundred km from the front). Conscripts are not good soldiers, they tend to disband. They may be used in a second time as a sort of police force in the liberated zone, but that's all.
Ukraine is making use of the many units guarding the border which Russia has decided it won't even guard properly.
Not to mention making use of a spearhead not being used.
The Russians not only have to amass the forces to drive the Ukrainians out, but establish units to stop a repeat.
See how it works?
You guys like to shout out copium but you more than indulge.
Did it trade ground?
Why would it trade ground for a country that doesn't have the resources to take it?
You make no sense in the face of the unexpected.
Russia lost ground because it didn't have the resources to guard it.
Hundreds of miles of basically open border with a country it's at war with.
For the Ukrainians to chose entry as it sees fit.
Russia is so unprepared that it still can't organise an effective response.

What new fantasy is this?
Keeping up with them is a full time job.
Russia calls the Kursk as anti-terrorist operation, and you know what people say, we don't negotiate with the terrorists, so negotiation is off the table. So I think Russia will keep pushing forward towards Kiev and when Kiev asks for negotiation, Russia will demand the turn over of Zalensky to face terrorism charges, and until Ukraine turn over Zalensky, the war will go on.
PS: And what will Ukraine do when the fall comes, and everything but paved roads turns to mud swamp? It will become logistically impossible to supply troops at the Kursk front because of the loitering munitions, the Kursk front will just wither and die.
That coward will flee to Israel like many criminals do.
The SMO was in fact from the beginning a war against terrorism because Ukraine was massacring the civilian people of Donbas. And even in the SMO they are willingly killing civilians and that's the way terrorists act.

@@maryginger4877 NATO all in
Well said.
It’s might be premature and wishful thinking to assume the Kursk offensive is Ukraine’s last gasp. It could be a distraction for the upcoming significant offensive in Ukraine. This might be reason why Ukraine isn’t doing everything to stop current Russian offensive because it has the idea they can hit a home-run with another offensive in Ukraine. It’s clear NATO has given Ukraine far more arms than stated publicly. The amount of equipment being sacrificed in Kursk is huge. Strange how all the previous talk of ammunition and manpower shortages in Ukraine has diminished. Russia is clearly confident war is going well or else you see another round of mobilization being announced. 15k-30K troops in Kursk suggests possibility Ukraine could still have a huge reserve of more hidden well armed troops for another offensive and they have thinned there lines for that purpose and that’s why Russia is having some success in Donbas.
You propose such 5D move for Ukrainians, that gladly died for bakhmut with "not even a single step back"?
On top of that, risking publicly humiliating NATO advisers and donors in this TikTok era?
I would doubt that, because of Zelensky actions around Israel and attention to Ukraine. He is not supposed to freak out about support, if everything is going "according to plan". Remember how MASSIVELY people view peoples morale
Yeah the Russians will let Wagner and the Chechens chase the Ukrainians around in circles in Kursk destroying as much new flash NATO gear as they can while the steamroller works on in the East, I have a feeling there are more ambitions than the Donbas, liberating all Historically Russian areas would require crossing the river once again, the Mad Max scenario in Kursk actually assists Russia greatly in this greater goal.
That's what I thought too!
I think Kursk was bait for the Ukrainian reserves, and Ukraine has fallen for a trap... Its important Russia convinces Ukraine it can have success in Kursk to trick them into over committing
The ideal outcome for Russia was to control the Kherson and Odesa regions to block sea access, turning Ukraine into an agricultural country only. However, they could settle to divide the country using the Dnipro River as the border.

Who believes that Russia would trade areas of Kursk vor areas of Donetsk is seriously mistaken. Both are Russian territory according to the Russian constitution and thus forbidden to be traded to any foreign power. If any Russian administration would nonetheless go on to permanently surrender such territory in a peace deal, it would lose all authority within Russia - which is the silent hope in Kiev and Brussels, which in turn is yet another reason why it won´t happen.

In particular, it is reported that under the onslaught of Russian troops, the Armed Forces of Ukraine were forced to flee from such settlements as 'Krasny Yar', 'Mezhevoye', and 'Kamyshevka'. Over the past day, the total advance of the Russian Army in this direction of the front was 20 km. According to war correspondents, Russian troops have already come close to the outskirts of one of the most important cities in Donbass - 'Pokrovsk

Ukraine is currently trying : "Let me tell you something....let me tell you something".
I’m pretty sure Pokrovsk will eventually fall if Ukraine doesn’t do anything. The only thing is that Ukraine does not have to react to Russian offensive in Pokrovsk for a few months. There is a defensive line set up in front of the city and if the Russians ever do reach the city, Ukraine has lots of time to delay through urban warfare (unless Russia encircles the city which will also be costly). I hope Ukraine can pull through, but I’m not stupid enough to believe that Ukraine is in a good position.
Edit: Now that I am seeing the defensive works at 7:46. If Russia diverts its attention away from Pokrovsk for other targets, that will be a significant issue for Ukraine. That is probably what is going to happen if Ukraine does nothing.
Edit: Russia is probably reaching Pokrovsk somewhere in September. Not looking the best over there.
The Russians will reach Pokrovsk by mid September. They are pushing through the final Ukrainian defensive lines at the moment. The troops heading towards Pokrovsk won’t be redeployed else , it’s a Army Corp just for that area .

You believe the western version of Russian siege operations? As with Adviika and Bakhmut, the defenders of Prokrovsk would be shredded over weeks by guided bombs and artillery before being forced out/liquidated in detail, hence far higher losses among defending Ukrainians than the attackers in every 'siege' so far.

Itd like uve ignored that russia has annexed the 4 oblasts. That these were a primary goal of war. And that logistically ukraine has to move food, fuel, ammo and healthcare into this area and sustain this and troop rotatiins. Time is not on their side. Iznt this obvious? I dont see Russia swapping anything inless its weaker then we know.
Russia is gonna need a bigger boat
no bigger front line than before its just in russia with a big river on part of it that russia has to get back over
It’s a buffer zone so they have more control and reach
Very logical and common sense points.
I think this will go like a smaller version of Kherson and Kharkov in 2022. Russia will withdraw into positions they can defend and hold the line until reinforcements. Where these reinforcements come from, I don't entirely know. Do they need to come off fronts further south or do they already have the manpower there? Will there be another draft of men like in 2022, I don't know. If so, won't be as big, and I'd expect further strengthening of the Russian border all the way up to Belarus. In all, I don't think this offensive is worth it. The really valuable land is being fought over in the Donbass, Kherson, and Zaporizhzhia. Better sea access, good fertile soil, not as cold as up by Kursk. Kherson has been pretty quiet, but still, Russia establishing a solid hold across the Dnipro gives a shot at Odessa. I don't think they'll try it until Ukraine forces are weak enough.
I see a major issue with the claimed irrelevance of manouvers and territorial gains. And that is in my view that gaining territory in a place can make sense also in attritional war if that leads to a better operational position for the attritional aspect. So for example taking Chasov Yar would significantly improve the position of the Russians, where they could bunker up after taking the town and use the high grounds and location to inflict losses on Ukraine in a more effective way.
Similarly the Russians are famous for their shovels, i.e. their ability to fortify and defend positions. In the east they have all their artillery EW, drone teams and airforce well integrated with the current frontline. In Kursk region however none of these elements are particularly well integrated or fortified. A HIMARS might hit a hidden and fortified position and achieve little in the east, but might then be very effective against the arriving reinforcements in the north. So my thoughts are that while many reasons jointly motivated the Ukrainians to do the Kursk incursion, one aspect certainly is that their troops can be much more effective, from an attritional perspective, when they attack a dispersed and disorganized enemy.
Another interesting analysis. Thaks Willy
Robotyne is what will happen to this incursion as well 😅
Really interesting look at the doctrine.
Willy, sometimes I think you are not clear about yourself. You constantly get bogged down with the issues.
What issues?
The ones you disapprove of?
The areas of Ukraine, they could pull soldiers from
Crimea
Left bank towards the azov
Luhansk - even if they were pushed back here, Ukraine couldn’t get the svatove kremina line last time
Why would they move anyone from the other areas?
A monumental disaster and misuse of finite resources. Agree or not but Ukraine is loosing a large amount of equipment and precious manpower in Kursk with no real clear goal or end game.
