The goals of this ambitious Kursk incursion are still shrouded in mystery and subject to much debate, but it is already clear that Ukraine’s decision to invade Russia has succeeded in making a complete mockery of Vladimir Putin’s red lines and the West’s fears of escalation.

  1. He is free to end the war and withdraw at any time. Besides, attacking Ukriane seems to have crossed a red line in Nato🎉

  2. ‘Ever since the Russian invasion of Ukraine began in February 2022, the international response has been hindered by fear of escalation. Western leaders have allowed themselves to be intimidated by Putin, who has used thinly veiled nuclear threats and frequent talk of Russian red lines to restrict the flow of military aid and convince Ukraine’s partners to impose absurd restrictions on the use of Western weapons inside Russia. As a result, Ukraine has effectively been forced to wage war with one hand tied behind its back.’

    100% this.

  3. Wondering if it’s a bargaining chip? You’ve taken our land, we’ll take yours. Give ours back, and we’ll give back yours.

  4. That reminds me, has there been the usual threat of nuclear war from peskov or medvedev as a response to the Kursk operation? Or it wore thin even for them at last?

  5. Now that these red lines have been crossed without consequence, there is literally *no excuse* for western governments not to pull their fingers out and give Ukraine all the military hardware they can. Will we see a corresponding uptick in weapons deliveries?

  6. Gas to EDIT: Slovakia and Hungary cut.

    3 million Russian refugees marching on Moscow

    50% of Russia’s steel works offline.

    10% of Russia’s meat industry offline.

    Have a nice winter!

    And then Putin puts the FSB in charge to repel Ukraine.

  7. Oh! Never thought of it that way.

    Yes he is now definitely exposed as a huge fraud. All smoke and mirrors. Total loss of “power to frighten anyone”

  8. pathetic really.. ruzzia has already crossed all the red lines possible in war. Only thing these cowards have left is nukes… but actually using those would mean self destruction and putin knows that lol..

  9. I’m hoping for Ukraine that invading Russia is a case of coming within ATACMS range of Moscow and using that as the bargaining chip/Ultimatum for Russia to end the war.

    Either that or capture as many conscripts and hope civil unrest happens

  10. Any and all ground retaken by Ukraine should be seen as a short term gambling chip to use in the process of negotiation for a ceasefire. Russia is far too large for any meaningful gains to persist. Peace is the only option

  11. Sometimes a good defence is good goddamn offence and Ukranians are doing it right. This will alleviate pressure from the other fronts and its alot easier to operate when u are proactive rather than just reactive all the time.

    We need to pressure our leaders to stop being such pussies and being afraid of russian threats if things escalate. They started this bs and we need to give Ukraine everything they need to end it

    🇺🇦❤️🇸🇪

  12. Ukraine is erasing the red lines outlined by Red Turnip’s head, it seems a little confused as to who invaded who! Meanwhile the Ruble is in free fall

  13. Western nations are afraid still, or else UA would have Tauras and be allowed to use atacms to target inside Russia
