      The inferiority complex is what feeds the Orthodoxy, Autocracy and Nationality of the Russian mentality.

              @George-K

              They come across as incredulous as to what happened or is happening. That or the plea to Putin has been staged for domestic consumption; it will play well throughout Russia but especially so in rural areas. As if they had no idea as to why “foreign” troops (note at no time do they say Ukrainian troops) invaded their territory.

              I suspect it was staged. A propaganda tool right out of the old Soviet playbook. The People’s earnest appeal to the Leader.

                  The answer to the why question is obvious in their appeal.

                        Don't take your eye off of the ball, though. Russia is still advancing. I'm guessing Ukraine's Kursk operation is meant to cut off some Russian supply lines and pull Russian troops back to defend those supply lines.

                          I was wondering what the motivation for an offensive was. What you say makes sense. Russia MUST defend its territory. Not doing so will lose a lot of juice for Vlad the Invader.

                                  If Ukraine was still a nuclear power, we wouldn't have the map.

                                  Putin made sure that no country will ever give up their nukes for any reason.
