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

      Wonder if Orban and Fico will send military aid to assuage their concerns.

        Second Russian helicopter brought down by a drone.

          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.

            @Jolly said in The Ukraine war thread:

            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.

              The incursion is having a desirable effect in Moscow:

                    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.

                                    I wonder what that’s about. Maybe he just doesn’t want to get invaded too.

                                      President Putin is at a loss with his armies getting stomped in Kursk and in desperation, he summons the ghost of Jozef Stalin.

                                      Stalin says: Why have you summoned me?

                                      Putin: Help. The Nazis have returned to Kursk and my Armies are getting crushed! What can I do?

                                      Stalin: Do what I did in 1943. Send the best Ukrainian troops to Kursk and ask the US for weapons.
