    This is his way of pulling out and saving face (sort of). Just let him pull out and quietly poison his lunch so it doesn’t happen again.

    So now he can end his three-day operation and peace will return to Ukraine shortly. Right? Right?

    Putin can say and do pretty much anything he wants

    This maneuver allows him to pull troops off of the eastern front to take back Kursk then send troops back to the eastern front under the guise that Ukraine has opened a new offensive on the eastern front and isn’t just performing a counteroffensive due to the lack of resistance from troops being moved to the Kursk front

    May even give Putin room to call for another mass mobilization

    Can we get a picture of him in front of a “mission accomplished” banner, ideally on an aircraft carrier?

      Did you miss the picture that came with this post? I mean, it’s just his face, but it counts.

    That’s what he says for the last three years, “goals of smo haven’t changed we just can’t stop winning, etc.”
