Ukraine controls 1,000 square kilometers of Russia's Kursk Oblast

[Cypress]

1000 square km is a square of land with approx 15 mile sides.

That is about the size of most major cities in the U.S. Not LA or Atlanta, but places like Albuquerque or Baltimore.

Nope. Baltimore is 238 square kilometers.

Ukraine now controls 1,250 square kilometers, which is the size of Los Angeles, a huge sprawling mega-city.

Ukraine has taken more Russian territory in ten days, than the Russians have captured in Ukraine since last January.

And three thousand Russian soldiers face encirclement on the west bank of the Seim River since Ukraine blew up all the bridges on their escape routes.

How many brigades does it take to control 1000 square kilometers?
How many divisions does it take to keep those combat forces supplied?

You dems need to stick with board wars because you're clueless about tactical operations.

Given that much of the civilian population fled, and that there is no hint of resistance, about zero brigades. Never heard of an entire division being used to supply a military force, so again about zero.

The real issue is whether the Ukrainians would be able to retreat fast enough if confronted in force so as to avoid being cut off.

The NATO forces in Russia are already cut off I have heard, and will be eliminated.

Of the 12,000 NATO troops that went onto Russia 3500 are dead as of today I am hearing.

Another "past prediction" by Hawkeye that he will spend the rest of his life running from.

Ukraine controls around 1,000 square km in Russia's Kursk Oblast, Syrskyi says​

Ukrainian forces control about 1,000 square kilometers in Russia's Kursk Oblast as of Aug. 12, Ukraine's Commander-in-Chief Oleksandr Syrskyi said.

As Kyiv's incursion continues into its seventh day, Syrskyi briefed President Volodymyr Zelensky on the "offensive operation" in Kursk Oblast. This marks the first time both Zelensky and Ukraine's military leadership directly confirmed Ukrainian soldiers' presence on Russian soil.

So, Ukraine confirms this? They must be getting ready to grift another 100 billion from Biden.

 

[Truth Detector]

I understand Trump, Vance, and most of the MAGA cult don't care at all what happens to Ukraine.

Democrats care? Fascinating. During Obamunism, Russia walked into Crimea and took it over without even the tiniest whine from Obama or Biden.

When Biden bribed Ukraine to fire the investigator of his son's grifting a Ukrainian energy company, they didn't seem to care that Russia walked over Crimea.

Suddenly, Democrats care? Why? Russia Russia? Hillary fabricated a salacious fake Russian dossier on Trump. Democrats didn't seem to care.

 

[Truth Detector]

Appeasement of totalitarian Russia is Trump's policy as well.

Yet, during Obamunism, it was A OK to ignore Russia's invasion of Crimea. Why the sudden concern?

 

[Truth Detector]

Supporting the defense of democracy in Europe against ruthless authoritarian invaders.

Ukraine is about defending democracy in Europe? Bullshit.

That's something Ronald Reagan understood, even if MAGA morons don't

Nothing screams bullshit and irony than a Marxist moron on the left quoting Reagan.

 

[Truth Detector]

South Vietnam wasn't a democracy. It was a corrupt autocracy.

.....like Ukraine.

BUT, North Vietnam was democratic, right halfwit?

 

[Truth Detector]

Moscow does... They might figure out they should not fuck with the West.

Yet, during Obamunism he fucked the West over and took over Crimea. No one seemed to care then. Why is that?

 

[Truth Detector]

You are flailing about and grasping onto terrible analogies>

Ironic coming from someone defending Communists and Oligarchy's.

The corrupt South Vietnamese government would barely try to defend itself and fifty six thousand americans died defending them

But the Communist North Vietnam government was democratic and a utopia right halfwit?

Tell me exactly how many american soldiers have died in ukraine?

None so far. How does that support your lame arguments?

 

[Truth Detector]

Its not up to you or the pro-Putin Trump to decide when Ukraine has to stop fighting.

But it's up to you to decide we have to defend Ukraine on behalf of Democracy?

I realize this is a totally foreign and alien concept to MAGA morons, but Ukraine's policy is to not abandon their territory and their fellow citizens to a ruthless enemy.

Doesn't think he's a moron with moronic arguments.

Do you know how we know you're a moron? You're going to vote for Comrade Kamala. Nothing screams MORON louder than voting for Biden the grifter or Comrade Kamala.

 

[Truth Detector]

I asked you to say how many American soldiers were killed in Ukraine. It was you who attempted to make the analogy to Vietnam.

The analogy to Vietnam was correct. Your desperate flailing and strawmen are ignorant and stupid.

They said the same thing about Vietnam. Defending Democracy.

Ironic, and painfully stupid, that anyone voting for the autocratic, racist Party of the Democrats don't realize they are the ones destroying Democracy.

 

[Truth Detector]

You were desperate to make the lame analogy to Vietnam, but now you can't even bring yourself to compare what the cost in blood to America was from Vietnam to Ukraine.

South Vietnam was neither a democracy, nor was it even willing to fight to defend itself. It's soldiers threw down their weapons and ran in 1975. South Vietnam is an obscure part of the world that at the time wasn't that important to American interests.

Ukraine is an emerging democracy, it is willing to fight against a ruthless totalitarian enemy, it doesn't cost us a drop of blood, and Ukraine is a European nation which has always been a region of importance to American interests.

The lame analogy is all yours halfwit.

If trump gets elected, yes.

BUT TRUMP!!!!!

 

[Truth Detector]

What makes you say that- in the light of well-documented and irrefutable evidence to the contrary.

MORON ALERT!!!! They voted after Russia invaded and took the land over dumbass.

 

[Truth Detector]

Trump cares deeply about the killing.

Apparently, you care deeply about lying your dumb ass off and looking like a moron.

 

[Truth Detector]

Trump would have green-lighted anything Putin wanted. Biden made it difficult and expensive for Putin to attack neighboring countries. Biden's resolve has kept Ukraine free from Russian rule. Ukraine says they took 26 Russian villages and 386 sq miles of territory.
