    What’s the alternative? You do realize that surrender means bye bye Ukraine. If it was your country you’d think differently before just casually handing yourself over to a fascist invader.

      Shit can happen if your fascist US vasals have a coup and attack a Russian speaking minority that wasn’t OK with it.

    Yes.

    It was never about keeping Kursk; it was a distraction to thin out Russian forces and have them refocus efforts on their own territory instead of attacking Ukraine. Eventually losing it was expected.

        Yes, the real question is - to whom was it worth the effort? To imperialists that play for world resource domination - maybe. For people - no. On both sides - no.
