    They seem to be pretty good at dying. Let me know if you want to see videos from the last six months of the AFU killing North Koreans in Kursk. Or were they just killing the RGF that had Asian features?

    The author has no idea what he is talking about if he really believes the AFU lost 10% of their ground forces and 1/3 of all HIMARS during the Kursk operation. But I'm sure the author has been saying the RGF is going to take Provosk any day now for the past year.

    You’re just some guy on a football forum. These numbers are karmic pushback for the spectacular exaggerations of Russian KIA. And there is one word that explains your Povrosk obsession, why it is going so slowly and I’ll spell it for you …

    Curious Duggar.

    Why does Russia need NK and Chinese soldiers if they are so powerful? This is little old Ukraine.

    My guess is they are a paper tiger without them.

    If Ukraine can get help from 40+ nations, why can’t Russia have a friend or two ?

    Question back at you: if the US has the most powerful military on the planet, why does it have to fight its wars with other countries’ armies ?

    Likely never more than 100-200 NK troops deployed in Kursk at a time (compare to upwards of 10,000 troops from other countries fighting for Ukraine) there were no ‘human assault waves’ and why the Kremlin was mum until now …

    Koreans in Kursk

    Only soldiers helping Ukraine have been mercenaries just like Russia. When a country officially sends their soldiers to Ukraine get back with me.

    The help for Ukraine has been material since big bad Russia has such superior armor and many more soldiers. And at first for defensive purposes only. When Russia decided it was ok to strike civilian targets with no military value but just to put fear into the general population they started allowing offensive strikes across the border. Interesting how a much smaller country defending itself from an attacking bully has support from other countries. How dare them.

    It’s not a US war. lol
    If it was it would be over by now and Putin would be castrated, curled up in a ball in the corner of a padded room.

    Pfft, the only war we’ve won since WWII is Grenada. And it was close.

    And it may be a tad late at this juncture, but you might want to inform the guys in DC that we’re not supposed to be officially involved. Ditto UK which engineered Ukraine’s Kursk debacle.

    Now that the Ukraine, together with its Western overlords, is facing final defeat, the old myth of an imminent Russian invasion has been dusted off. Putin is the “New Hitler” of the moment while Russia is allegedly the reincarnation of the former Soviet Union.

    The Russians Are Coming!

    If the Russians cannot defeat a third tier, non-NATO force with 20 year old US munitions and tech, they want no part of the US and their latest tech. Seeing as a SA-23 cannot even see an F-35, the question of air superiority would be decided quickly and things would go down hill from there.

    For over three years now Russia has essentially said, “Come and get some!” Maybe we’re waiting for Hegseth to get some weight off of our two-thirds overweight Army.
