The War in the Ukraine

plawolf said:

That sounds dangerously close to endorsing war crimes against civilians, since civilians are meant to be left unharmed and protected by warring parties.

There are already allegations of war crimes being committed by Ukraine in Kursk. If those claims are substantiated and widespread, then Ukraine would not so much have shot themselves in the foot but blown both its legs away. Since such barbarism would open the door wide open for previously neutral parties to take a much more involved role on Russia’s side, as well as weaken the support of Ukraine’s already wavering western backers.

Also, as a general point, doing a war crimes against civilians tend to strengthen, not weaken their resolve to fight.

Depends on the level of war crimes. Its kind of like a real fight between men. If someone hits you once or twice it is likely to make you angry and you will fight harder. But if he beats you to a pulp and comes close to kill you, you will likely be afraid about losing ur life and likely beg to preserve your own life.

Ukraine doing raids like this only enrages Russians and makes them think Ukraine is a problem that needs to be solved once and for all. It increases support for war. But if Ukraine had overwhelming strength and Russia was afraid of losing a lot of land or people. Im sure they will give up on Ukraine completely.

But Ukraine simply lacks the strength to force Russia to give up. Instead all these attacks only justifies more mobilization for Russia

I don't see this as an humiliation more than the large-scale invasion itself. The problem is: How far do they want to go and how aggressive? The more Ukraine uses of power in terms of equipment hits on military units and cities, the more Russia will be forced to do what it does not want to do, mobilize, launch a strong counter-attack deep inside Russia, and turn this into a wider war which both sides allies will possibly join in some years.

Oleksandr Syrskyi, Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, has posted a photograph at the "starting point" where he is working amid reports of a breakthrough on the border in Russia's Kursk Oblast.

Details: The commander-in-chief stated that he is "working at the starting point" but provided no further details. The starting point is the location from which units begin their advance during an offensive.

You could have at least done a quick reverse image search before you decided to post nonsense from a low quality source as Reddit.

They assassinated 3 of Syrski's general staff colleagues the last few days, also in Kharkiv area. So I can believe Syrski is around there, probably because staying further away may cause important comms to be lost to interference.

I think a bigger humiliation is that Ukraine can't protect some of its most top staff.

Russia should let UAF come deep into Kursk and then nuke them. I'm joking. This is just a joke.

But I think Putin will have launch mass mobilization because they can fight this war with only 500K-750K. They need 2 million.
