Russia has assembled 50,000 russian and North Korean soldiers for an offensive in the Kursk region. The attack is expected in the coming days.
I still cannot believe that the West is just watching how these two criminal regimes kill Ukrainians.
As a kid, I remember reading a history book about how Nazi Germany occupied Czechoslovakia in 1938 as the rest of the World just watched. I remember thinking that this would never be allowed in our time.

Russia is suffering increasing losses in an attempt to strengthen its negotiating position. The graph shows an exponential rise in russian losses.
Russia is incurring a colossal surge in losses to maintain an appearance of dominance. In 2022, russian losses were around 200 soldiers per day; in 2023, about 500; and in 2024, approximately 1,500 soldiers per day.
Russian losses have increased tenfold compared to the early months of the war. Given that the hostilities are concentrated in relatively limited areas, russia’s overall losses are unprecedented.
Russia’s losses relative to the area of captured territory are growing exponentially. So far, only the Korean War had a higher ratio of losses per area of captured territory.

Trump spoke with Putin and urged him not to escalate the war in Ukraine, emphasizing the strong U.S. military presence in Europe. This creates a tense dynamic, as Putin has an interest in intensifying the conflict to gain better negotiating leverage before Trump officially takes office.
According to the reports, Trump expressed interest in continuing talks for a “quick resolution” to the war in Ukraine. He is open to supporting a deal where russia would retain some of the captured territories, and he briefly raised this issue during the conversation.
Does this mean Trump is willing to trade Ukrainian territory for peace – is this the main bargaining point? But how much territory will Putin receive? Just Crimea? De facto or also de jure? Will Ukraine get enough weapons to prevent a new russian invasion after this deal?
Trump wants to avoid a new escalation of the war in Ukraine at the start of his presidency, which leads him to press Putin to prevent the conflict from escalating.
The problem is that Putin has the opposite motivation. He wants to make as much progress on the front lines and bomb Ukraine as much as possible to have a stronger negotiating position by the time Trump enters the White House.
We will soon see who is stronger—Trump or Putin. But the next few months will be very difficult for Ukraine.
“Russia is incurring a colossal surge in losses to maintain an appearance of dominance. In 2022, russian losses were around 200 soldiers per day; in 2023, about 500; and in 2024, approximately 1,500 soldiers per day.”
For putler; a sick psychopath who enjoyed pulling the wings off flies as a child, these deaths are a badge of honour. He’s calculated that the more orcs get smoked, the more land they take. Like Zhukov used the Ukrainians in WW2, putler uses ethnic minorities, third world mercs and now smelly norks.
It actually gets results for the cocksucker.
Occupied land, whether de facto or de jure, is of no concern to ruZZians. Abkhazia and Transnistria might just as well be de jure, for all the difference it makes.
A piece of excrement named Brian Lanza has already told Ukraine to “forget” Crimea; a position that Trump himself has taken since 2016.
The West must admit that it screwed up all along the line, from before day one to today. Some screwed up more than others, but everyone screwed up. They are more like children playing with fire rather than leaders who can tackle a serious problem. The problem is not their little fingers getting burned, but them burning down the entire Western house.
