With the Ukraine War about to enter its third year, NATO continues sending weapons systems and false hope to Kyiv. These systems included antiquated variants of the M1 Abrams Main Battle Tank.

        The Unrainian army is collapsing so bad they accidentally collapsed all the way into Kursk.

        What does it say about the Russian army that a collapsing enemy is still occupying large parts of Russia? Or does the Russian army simply not care? Are certain parts of Russia more Russian than orhers?

          Kursk is in fact one of the major factors accelerating the collapse as even western media admits now. If Ukraine couldn’t hold well prepared positions in Donbas, then they obviously have no hope of holding anything in Kursk either. All it did was stretch already thinning units to a new front and create a logistics nightmare for Ukraine. Also, if you think a few villages in Kursk constitutes large parts of Russia then it’s clear that you haven’t seen a map in your life.

            Kusk? Did you already forget about Donetsk, Luhansk, Kharkiv, and other “Russian” regions partially occupied by Ukrainian troops? This just underlines my point that certain areas seem to be more Russian than others, despite being part of the Russian Federation. It seems even Russia forgets they annexed the areas.
