Day 905 War in Ukraine

 

Yike! An M1 Abrams tank seen from the window of a Humvee.

Yeah, truly a terrible answer by Biden’s national security people. Long range strikes help to prevent Russian long range strikes! Long range strikes save Ukrainian lives!

Film clip of drone with Russian AK-74 assault rifle attached.

A year since Ukraine forcibly reopened the Black Sea to its commerce.

700 Russian troops surrounded. Bridge behind them blown up.

Russian Ka-52 helicopter shot down.

Ukrainians and Russians negotiating prisoner swaps.

Russia taking forces away from borders with Baltic states, Sweden and Finland in order to reinforce Kursk region.

Will the Kursk incursion threaten Putin’s hold on power? Ehh, probably not.

This might come to known as the Second Battle of Kursk. The first battle was fought in 1943, so it’s heavy with symbolic significance.

The Russian public, brainwashed by the propaganda it is fed constantly on TV, remains broadly supportive of the war.

As usual, John Mearsheimer is wrong and fears Ukraine’s Kursk incursion is a strategic blunder.

Russians behead a Ukrainian POW and film their doing so.

Ukrainian occupiers leave the Russian town of Sudzha largely intact.

WHAT? “The world’s biggest oilfield services company is expanding in Russia” Yup! Sanctions! Jail terms! Nationalization! The company should severely pay for this!
