Many such cases. https://www.zerohedge.com/geopolitical/ukrainian-defenses-collapse-what-can-us-patriots-learn-conflict Authored by Brandon Smith via Alt-Market.us Saturday, Aug 03, 2024 - 10:20 PM In my article ‘Russia Is About To Overrun Ukraine’s Defenses – Why Are There No Peace Negotiations’, published in May, I outlined my reasons for predicting a near term collapse of Ukrainian front line defenses and a sweeping territory grab by Russian forces.

They don't have a great number of reserves to pull from to rapidly move into the area. You also assume that the Ukrainians have a desire to try and hold onto that area; which I really don't think is the case. If they do try, then given time, it would very likely end badly. |

Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By HKPDW: Nothingburger. A minor Dolittle raid at best. Ukraine is not winning. That is my standard disclaimer from now on. Dropping Iskander's onto your own villages is not a minor raid. The Russians are using them to knock out individual BMP's and Bradley's in this "minor" raid. Why Ukraine is doing this I have no idea because it is not going to end well. |

I would imagine Russian troops morale will be high defending Russian territory this might even get more support for the war. What about that north Korean defense pact?

Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By HKPDW: Nothingburger. A minor Dolittle raid at best. Depends on how deep Ukraine can get, and what facilities they can get inside. Kursk has a population of about half a million, if Ukraine can get into power and gas infrastructure supporting the city, they can do immense damage (politically and economically) by taking them out of commission. A demolition team with experts guiding them can do a lot more damage than drones from the air. Plus several key rail corridors going down from Kursk. Again, much easier to do a thorough controlled demolition of bridges if you control the ground. Taking those railroads out of commission hampers Russian logistics considerably. |

Can't collapse if they weren't even really there. Sounds like Russia hardly had any defenses or units in place, thinking Ukraine wouldn't have the balls and manpower to make a bigger incursion into Russia than they did before. From what I can read, this is at a minimum a loud sharp bitchslap back at the Russians, with potential to be an actual significant punch. |

6 August 2024: Key takeaways from this evening's Ukraine Update by the great team at the Institute for the Study of War:
- Russian sources claimed that Ukrainian forces conducted a series of cross border raids into Kursk Oblast on August 6. - Russian milbloggers largely dismissed the supposed Ukrainian raids into Kursk Oblast, and Ukrainian officials have largely yet to comment on the raids. - Russian Security Council Secretary and former Defense Minister Sergei Shoigu heavily overexaggerated Russian advances in Ukraine since mid-June 2024. - Russian officials continue coordination and military cooperation with Iran ahead of the Iranian retaliatory strike against Israel out of concern for Russian interests in the region. NOTE: a version of this text appears in ISW-CTP's August 6 Iran Update. - Armenia continues to abstain from the Russia-led Collective Security Treaty Organization (CSTO). - Russian forces advanced east of Toretsk. - The Russian Ministry of Defense (MoD) reportedly issued a formal reply denying a request from the wives of the mobilized Russian personnel to meet with Russian Defense Minister Andrei Belousov.

Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By Mal_means_bad: Russian commentators have noted that three gas pipelines to Western Europe meet at a metering station at Sudzha, which Ukraine just captured. Should the metering station be unmanned by the evacuation of the staff or be damaged by an errant bomb (or "errant" bomb) Russia would be unable to bill their customers, which they were still supplying as far as I can tell, albeit at a declining quantity as contracts run out. So this could develop into a significant blow to their finances. Also there's the nuclear power plant that the Ukrainian offensive is approaching. OOFF,,, I'm sure a couple large bricks of C4(or "Z4 " as russians call it) would do BAD things to a gas pipeline if said town was under attack, and id imagine that would be some serious lost income for a couple years while pipeline was patched in a war zone... |

It’s definitely changes the dynamic and also puts some negotiating power in the hands of Ukraine. Just playing defense will not win this for them.
Hopefully they can hold it and take more. But I also This could just lead to more attacks on civilians and Russian launching massive missile attacks on populated areas. |

I don’t see follows up posts with the posters suggestions for ending the war other than “surrender to Russia”. Correct me if I’m assuming here, but is your idea of “stopping the war” surrender to Russia? Is that the only idea out there to “stop the war”? |
