Matt -- Do you really see any realistic chance of Ukraine being able to hang on to land? They've got minimal air support, compared to an exhaustive list of aerial and artillery options. What's to stop Russia from bombing behind their position, and isolating them?

It's a huge risk, but I see it as having more to do with Zelenskyy's tenuous, at best, hold on power, and his running out of viable military options.

When they launched the operation, their targets were primarily civilian noncombatants. My initial thought was 'All those poor troops will be just more returning in pine boxes.'

We'll see what happens from here. There's been fierce fighting and huge casualties on both sides. I heard somewhere, yesterday, that among the dead on the NATO side were both French and Polish troops.

Bearing in mind, also, the AFU lunatic assault on the ZNPP, this thing could escalate to a really ugly level in short order. It's been reported that Pres. Putin was extremely upset over what has transpired. I read, yesterday, on a Greek website that Belarus was going to be sending reinforcements to the Kursk theater, on his (Putin's) insistance.

This move into Russia, if nothing else, seems to have resuscitated the war in the eyes of the Western propaganda framers. The EU just sent another $4+ billion, there -- so it's time to bone more taxpayers in Europe.

What is about to goo down could have been so easily avoided, but that isn't what this corrupt, installed regime wants. They've got to have their war, before the economy they have tanked completely bottoms out. I do think it's far away ... maybe another couple weeks before this thing goes full kinetic -- but throw in Iran-Israel, China-Taiwan and NK-SK

Many think the East are going to launch an "Everything at once" plan, so the US is hopelessly overextended and unable to support four different war fronts. This seems, at this point, like a rather obvious strategy. One things for certain: the tensions can't build to much more of a crescendo than where we are now.

The month of September seems poised to be one which forever changes the course of humanity. Buckle up and pray!

VERY well said, John.

And beyond just praying, remember what Cypher told Neo: "Buckle your seatbelt Dorothy, 'cause Kansas is going bye-bye!" [ https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0-JJuHpfN5g ]
