This could be interesting if true....


the reason why it's interesting is, in Bryansk there is a oil pipline that is connected to Belarus it's is about 1hr away from the border there, if they don't, that is also a backdoor to the rear of the Russian forces in Kursk and that road is 2hr away from the Kursk NPP......lets see what happens
It makes sense if Ukraine can muster that manpower and still manage to prevent any crazy Russian breakthroughs ( asking a lot of tired outnumbered troops on the line). Zelenskey shows the Europeans and Trump that his forces are still frisky ,they'd have to be concerned on the left (Belarus) flank,but if they can push in and turn and burn ,encirclement of Russian/N. Korean forces in Kursk region is possible, THAT would be BIG for the Ukrainian's from a morale standpoint and they have surprised many times.

The Europeans are in a pickle,I get no joy in seeing Trump and his henchmen take offending allies to epic proportions and can relate to the sheer insanity they are contending with regarding the US positions from Biden to Trump. That said their refusal to spend on military equipment,training,and personnel #'s has been perplexing to multiple US administrations on a bi-partisan basis for more than 20 years. Sec. of Defense Gates in 2011 waved the warning flag saying that the US was facing increasing pressure financially to commit the resources to nations that refused to take defense seriously,that along w/the 2014 Russian little "green men" taking of Crimea fell on deaf ears. Presently NATO nations w/the additions of Sweden and Finland (thankfully) can hold their own in the air and at sea,but have nowhere near the land forces to deal w/Russia without US intervention. The US can't abandon it's NATO commitments but is facing a competitor in the Pacific that IMO is more formidable than the USSR ever was. I have no idea how Europe will respond to the problem,France and Germany are in a politcal/economic malaise and England is financially strapped also. I hope the US under Trump doesn't permanently alter our relationship,I don't think he understands that it's nice to have friends in the world(allies), one thing a resurgent China lacks. And if Europe were ever to attain a united military that was self sufficient they might not be so friendly themselves, surely a case of watching out what you wish for.

No Zelensky i don't think you need to go that far, i say stick with it go kick some Russian butt with the EU, sorry to say we have an orange idiot in the WH......

WHY, he's done a remarkable job, he didn't ASK for this and the TIMES make the man,Ukraine is in a state of martial law and how could it hold an election?, funny how he's being called out on being lawfully elected by Putin whose "opponents are hand picked and rams through changes to Russia's "laws" to extend his reign while Trump's election philosophy is "heads I win, tales you lose". It makes me want to puke that Trump is claiming Ukraine OWES for aid provided by the Biden adm. w/no strings attached, it was mostly surplus equipment that was in no way top of the line. It reeks of a shakedown by DON Donald who claims he'll take "anything I can get", pathetic shit like this keeps haunting my mind w/how the USA is viewed externally as in " what kind of assholes Americans must be to put this man in the White House"

To be fair, I doubt any voter saw the switching alliances to Russia from democracy this outwardly and blatant. Although, if you look how Putin seems to have felon on a leash with a ballgag in his mouth, maybe it's not such a stretch. It is truly disgusting that he has taken the USA from a NATO/European alliance to one with Russia. Either Congress wakes the f up, (republicans) or they continue to let this administration destroy the federal government and by extension the democracy experiment that started almost 250 years ago.

Yeah I agree w/you even by Trumpian standards,it's like didn't all these red state lower middle/poor Americans realize that they've unleashed a 80 y/o (mental capacity???) spoiled, ruthless,narcissist , lacking of ANY humility, empathy, sense of fair play on a personal I DON'T GIVE A FK , emboldened retribution tour simply because they hate D's whom they perceive as ALL far left lunatics (courtesy of Fox news and the multitude of online copycats) and thought they'd save a few $$ on groceries. With a 4 yr. prequel as evidence, coupled w/ authoritarian envy, threats of personal retribution, a messianic complex post assassination attempts,and Elon Musk weighing in w/250M on the scale, they NOW rant to their R reps. expressing shock/despair at what they are seeing.

Yeah, it seems like people need to unite to preserve democracy. However, the current administration along with the tech bro oligarchy want to keep the power and profits, and keep a thumb on the people. The robber barons of the 19th century had nothing on these guys.

Zelenskyy has been nothing but heroic since he took office in Ukraine putting both his job and his life on the line every day.

I've yet to see tRump even make a remotely heroic or honourable decision.

it is, and i'm like you, i hope S. Korea does take him in, he'll have a better life....finger crossed
I was thinking about this today. Well actually about what a good spy story it would make. North K sends one of their top spy's to Russia to get captured by Ukraine and after a while get sent to South K. Then North K would throw his family in prison so it would look natural. He would slowly flip toward South K, while really still spying for the North. But the South don't really trust him, so they feed him misinformation.

I need to let deep seek write it for me, then upload it to kindle.

British PM Starmer announced that they are increasing Defense spending, which is good news. But they are cutting almost all Foreign Aid, which really sucks.

Zelensky is LEGIT, I knew he was down when he said he needed ammunition not a plane ride to safety. It must gall him to have to make nice w/Trump,who'd crumble like a house of cards in his shoes.
