Putin is about to have a horrendous upcoming weeks.
Putin before Donald Trump enters the Oval Office.
Looking at the distance, Ukraine would have to push North of Kursk to be able to hit Moscow. If they do that, I’d expect Putin to move to St. Petersburg for safety.
That’s what Cessnas are for.
Haven’t seen me a 4koma in a while!
Finally! Weaken Russia as much as possible before Trump gets in.

This is exactly why the war is still going on. just say there are Hamas tunnels under the Kremlin already.
I believe NYT makes you login, even on a gift link. Here is a TLDR:
President Biden has authorized Ukraine to use U.S.-supplied long-range Army Tactical Missile Systems (ATACMS) to strike Russian and North Korean forces in Russia, a significant shift in U.S. policy. This decision comes in response to Russia’s introduction of North Korean troops into the conflict and their anticipated assault on Ukrainian forces in the Kursk region.
The move reflects growing concerns over Ukraine’s ability to withstand simultaneous assaults while defending territory. The authorization aims to bolster Ukraine’s defense, target high-value military assets, and deter North Korean involvement. However, it has sparked debate among U.S. officials over escalation risks, as Russia might retaliate against the U.S. or its allies.
President-elect Donald Trump, who has vowed to reduce U.S. support for Ukraine, is set to take office in two months, adding urgency to the decision. The Ukrainian strategy may include using captured Russian territory in Kursk as leverage in potential future negotiations. Meanwhile, the risk of Russian countermeasures remains a central concern for Biden’s administration and its allies.
My take: I’ve been waiting on this since the US election. It’s sound strategy of we believe Putin won’t want to escalate with NATO before Trump takes office.
You just KNOW on day 1, trump is trying to pull out of NATO…again.
He’d be breaking a law passed by congress saying congress must approve it if he tried that.
…and at what point do you think he gives a shit?
Well, it had bipartisan senate support so I wouldn’t immediately jump to the conclusion that the senate would agree.
If they don’t approve it that’ll cause a crisis and something will happen, whatever it may be.
Edit: Leaving NATO is a lot more serious than the corrupt stuff he does they don’t bat an eye at.
ISW says that, unfortunately, this is only for limited strikes into Kursk. It’s not a full carte blanche.
They should have done this years ago, the gimps
agreed
Even Dr Doom agrees with me
I mean
Good for them but
Can we focus on what’s going on here at home? Most Americans have no savings, can’t ever retire, and are one hospitalization away from homelessness
America can’t do 2 things at once?
I mean, they aren’t even doing 2 things. They’re saying “yeh go for it”, and then America can turn it’s full attention on itself.Yeah whatever.
Only Kursk though, so that sucks…
Looking at you, Scholz…
fuck yes!
