    By the way, does anybody have a credible take on the current status/outlook of the war?

    I hear nothing about the Kursk offense now, but mainstream news mention recent Russian successes in the East. I understand striking deep into Russia with US weapons would be critical, but I think that is unlikely to happen before the elections.

    I am (again) worried for Ukraine, and to our Western politicians f*cking this up.

      I love yall but yall gotta stop doing this in NCD. Is there a more credible community yall can have these discussions in? We’re here for jokes and shitposting. Real, honest, fact-based discussions (especially involving politics) really don’t belong here. [email protected] might be a better fit.

      You can sign up for ISW’s newsletter, they do a good job of reporting what’s going on from a fairly dry, but western perspective. Last I saw they were reporting that Russia is aggressively counter attacking in Kursk to attempt to dislodge the Ukrainians before the fall mud sets in. It’s not looking great on the front but there are quite a few indications that the Russian attacks are not sustainable long-term. That said, I’ve seen reports saying that for a while now and the grinding attrition has continued.

        People have been saying that basically from day one yet the Russians keep coming. Obviously this isn’t sustainable long term but nobody knows how long they can keep going.
