But if they attack a NATO country then I think they would lose. But I also think the whole world would suffer. I think it might lead to a nuclear war. I don’t want to see it!

Yeah. Cause it's a great strategy to underestimate your enemies. And you have it wrong. The slaves are supplied by ukraine. Just like African nations captured and supplied slaves to the world way back in the 1800s and still do to this day. Gee, you would be great in the military.

Seems to be a hell of a coincidence Ukraine undertook the surprise attack, within weeks of getting the F-16's.

Bargaining chip in negotiations, divert Russian troops, gain international headlines/support, lower Russian moral... maybe all. My guess is the main objective is diverting Russian troops. Ukraine wasn't making any significant gains in Donbas and perhaps hoped this attack might alter that status, along with the other benefits. Reportedly Russia hasn't budged many elite troops from Donbas yet, indicating they also believe that's the true objective. But eventually they'll have to if they want to kick Ukraine out. Then maybe comes the big counter-strike in Donbas.?. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Lo and behold they start interviewing a scooter delivery guy in his late 20’s early 30’s. From Ukraine. Now why isn’t he over there fighting the war?

Wait to divert - Ukraine has time to build defensive lines in Kursk. Another Russian problem is they previously didn't need to protect their Ukraine border, because Ukraine wasn't permitted by UN countries to attack. Now they need to defend a long stretch of land with more than just a few border guards. Very ballsy. Ukraine needs to chose carefully where to use their precious resources.

seafoam1 3,025 Posted September 3, 2024 6 hours ago, IndyColtsFan said: Ukraine flamethrower drone! KYIV, Ukraine (AP) — Russia battered much of Ukraine on Monday, firing scores of missiles and drones that killed four people, injured more than a dozen and damaged energy facilities in attacks that President Volodymyr Zelenskyy described as “vile.” The barrage of over 100 missiles and a similar number of drones began around midnight and continued through daybreak in what appeared to be Russia’s biggest onslaught in weeks. Ukraine’s air force said swarms of Russian drones fired at eastern, northern, southern, and central regions were followed by volleys of cruise and ballistic missiles. In retaliation, Ukraine burned down one of their own trees. Take THAT Russia!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

At least 13 people were injured, Russia's Health Ministry added. Meanwhile, a senior U.S. diplomat said Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy has a workable plan to end the war, now in its third year, although its details have not been publicly disclosed.
