For sure, nothing is ideal in warfare and you got to make do with what you have. UA has placed many of its most experienced troops in Kursk to conduct offensive operations whereas new troops learn to fight in the trenches in the east for the most part. For over a year UA has been trading ground for Russian casualties, but in the case of Pokrovsk it will be interesting to see what they do, as this location actually has some strategic importance and needs to be defended if possible.
 
At this point in the game, I think the biggest question now is... how can Putin end the war and save face in front of his people.

That right there (and duck Van because here it comes), but that right there is reason enough alone to vote for Trump... because that is the only way I can see Putin stepping back. Not out of fear of Trump, but because Trump is slimey and he knows how to do stuff like that. And Putin's slimey. Trump will figure out a way to give Putin a way out, but at the same time letting him somehow declare a success. I have no idea how that can be done... but if anyone could pull it off, it would be Trump.

The alternative... say Kamala wins. I don't see that Administration doing anything except basically what we're doing now. Feeding the war pig with money and weapons. The rhetoric, and rightly so, will continue to be "Putin is a war criminal." It might even get louder. But the point is, under that scenario, there's no backdoor for Putin to slither out of.

Now some of you may say "Good, he needs to die or be held accountable", I couldn't agree more... but again, that's not the point. The point is what WILL he do. He knows he can't win, and a man with nothing, has nothing to lose. Paraphrasing Dylan again. So lets circle back to my "the world will be thrown into chaos" in my above post... and lets ask ourselves... do we want that? I am only being logical here... the greatest hope for some semblance in the reduction of bloodshed in that region, and perhaps even the world economies getting catapulted back to the dark ages... is for Trump to be the next President. It is what is.

I will now retreat to the bomb shelter because here it comes... :rolleyes:

It will be up to Vladimir Putin to end this Ukraine war because the US, NATO and their stooge Zelensky does not care and only want to make monies. No matter how many millions get killed in the process. Time to go scorched earth for Russia. This slow walking the Russian offensive in the hopes NATO comes to their senses is not working and will not work at all. So, go all out and totally annihilate the Ukraine army. That is the only way. First, destroy all arms and weapons depots, masses of Ukraine troops and volunteers, wherever they may be. Destroy all airfields including, fighter jets on the tarmac. Then, use glide bombs and go after the major command posts including, those staffed by NATO officers. Send the message that the end is near and there is no place to hide for Ukrainian top officials and their masters. Russia can then impose its terms on Ukraine like the US did to Japan after the bombing of Nagasaki and Hiroshima.
 
Looks like there is hope after all for the Ukrainian army. Reports of huge numbers of Ukrainian soldiers refusing to follow orders and others just simply deserting and abandoning their posts on the frontlines. They are doing themselves a favor by saving their lives. Rather than fighting the Russians and being killed in huge numbers for nothing. Zelensky still busy enriching himself and does not care one bit about them.
