Still In The Fight & Are You Serious?

A lot has happened since August when I wrote about Ukraine’s surprise incursion into Kursk.  I thought the operation would be over by now, but surprisingly, it’s not. 

Media outlets, the non-pro-orc ones, estimate there are between 15,000 – 30,000 Ukrainian soldiers operating in the Kursk region.  These brave & noble freedom fighters shocked the world & the orcs by crossing the Russian border, seizing up to 1000 square kilometres of land & 74 settlements in the hopes of using them as bargaining chips in future peace negotiations.  On a map, these amounts appear small, but the fact Ukraine’s Armed Forces have been able to do this has dealt a massive embarrassment & setback for the evil orc war machine.  Something like this hasn’t happened in Russia since the Second World War.

In September, Ukraine’s president Zelensky claimed 60,000 Russian troops were forced to redeploy to Kursk, being pulled from Zaporizhzhia and Kherson Oblasts.  Not bad for an invading force half that size.  To cause that many enemy soldiers to move away from other combat areas must show panic and disorganization.  Usually, you have reserve units behind the front lines to plug in the gaps whenever lines are broken.  Some military analysts say Russia can afford these redeployments because they have more people to spare and that may be true, but having the orcs focus on reclaiming their own land takes time & resources away from military operations inside Ukraine. 

There’s been a lot of back & forth fighting, with many orc counteroffensives.  Some were repelled while others succeeded.  By October, Russia claimed to have retaken around 46% of occupied land in Kursk.  An unfortunate turn of events for Ukraine, but their soldiers can afford to give up land because it’s not theirs.  I just hope Ukraine’s valiant soldiers can hold onto what’s left for a little while longer, so the Russians waste more manpower, weapons, and resources.

By November, media outlets reported the orcs preparing another counteroffensive involving 50,000 Russian soldiers and 10,000 North Korean soldiers.  I bet the North Koreans are being used as cannon fodder & human shields, sent to their deaths in endless meat grinder assaults.  However, the surviving North Koreans, if any, are gaining valuable modern battlefield experience and are passing this information to their military leaders.  This is on top of the additional training North Korean soldiers are receiving from Russian military advisers.  The last thing the world needs is a more formidable North Korean military. 

Media outlets & military analysts have been criticizing the ongoing Kursk operation, saying it’s further stretching Ukrainian forces and taking the best combat capable units away from other combat areas that need them.  I suppose that’s true, but Ukraine needs to give the orcs a taste of their own medicine by bringing the war to their homes and show NATO & the free world that Ukraine is still in the fight.  If the free world really wants to see the Ukraine-Russia war end, how about sending in troops into Ukraine and help push the orcs all the way back to pre-2014 borders.  And that includes a free Crimea.  The orcs already have the largest country in the world; they don’t need more land.  If any sane Russians want to help end the war, put many bullets into the heads of the orc emperor & his lackeys in the Kremlin. 

Slava Ukraini!         

On November 5, 2024, the United States held its presidential election, pitting Republican Donald Trump against Democrat Kamala Harris.  Harris took over for President Joe Biden, after he decided to drop out of the race on July 21.  His age, health, and performance at debates were listed as reasons.  Around 152.3 million voters cast their ballots, and I have one question to 77.3 million of them:

Are. You. [Bleep]ing. Serious!? 

You really want to bring that criminal nutjob back into the White House?  The years of 2016 – 2020 weren’t enough for you?  You think he’s fit to return after all the crazy he’s said & done?  Sure, President Biden had his quirks, but they weren’t bad, and he’s a regular Joe.  This shouldn’t have pulled you away from voting for Kamala. 

If you haven’t figured it out, I’m of course disappointed that Donald Trump was re-elected as president.  He’s a pootin puppet.  He says he can end the war in Ukraine in 24 hours, but I doubt that’s possible.  I already doubt he can make & deliver a pizza in 30 minutes or less.  Once he takes over the White House, he’ll sell out Ukraine and give the orcs what they want.  That’s not peace.  That’s terror and letting evil win.  Hitler must be rolling in his grave wishing Trump was president when he was around. 

I’m worried Trump will stop military aid flowing into Ukraine even though Congress approved a new military aid package a while back.  Ukraine will have to do as much damage as possible to Russia before Trump takes over in January 2025.  I hope the remaining members of NATO will step in and keep the military hardware & ammunition flowing.     

The only good thing about Trump being re-elected is that after his second term, he will not be allowed to run again.  Unless he somehow changes the US Constitution to let him run for a third term.  I really hope that doesn’t happen.  It’ll be better if he’s forced to resign like Nixon did.
