The best military operation attains multiple objectives. I don't understand all the observers trying to argue this down a single specific reason like pulling troops away from other fronts, or taking territory for negotiation, interrupting supply lines, etc. How about all of the above? And to add another reason - Ukraine has been gifted more Patriot Batteries. If this incursion pushes a Patriot battery's envelope 50 miles further into Russia, suddenly huge numbers of Russian aircraft can come under unexpected threat in combination with the limited number of new F-16's.

I think that the United States and European countries will support Ukraine in their efforts to defend themselves, even if they are using their weapons on Russian soil. The fact is that there is no good scenario or outcome in which Russia is allowed to win this war.

I already heard this morning that the gas line has been blown. Hungary had 2-1/2 yrs to wean themselves off, but chose not to. No sympathy here.

At this rate, we'll be tuning in to a "Russia: The Latest" podcast before long.

Three days from Kursk submarine sinking 24 years ago.

Reading the WSJ and the NYT on my iPad this morning, I saw NOTHING about Ukraine, not the incursion, not even the depressing negative stories about Ukraine that has been the latest on the NYT. Of course, the NYT made sure to extensively report on important stories like a singer’s cancelled concert-for the 2nd/3rd day? If it was not for UK media I would have very few sources of information regarding this very important development…what is going on?!!!

Russia: The Latest

The latest news report I am seeing at this moment is from Al Jezera which says that Ukrainian troops are fighting Russian troops nearthe Kursk Power Plant.

Not only is this a moral boost for Ukraine and the west but it provides Ukraine much needed combined arms practice and a corp of troops and commanders experienced in successful combined arms tactics that they can spread around to other units.

I spoke with a friend who lives near Severomorsk (Russia's closed top secret base on the Arctic). He thought they had LIQUID-FUELED torpedos on board. Suicidal in my opinion.
