Vehicles would be left running, gas cans would leak, oil would spill during refueling and no one cared. In comparison the Germans were tightly rationing and conserving every single drop they could. That's when he knew they'd lose, seeing that contrast

To this day this mixture of deep set corruption, feudal view of its citizens and neglect of the country as a whole plagues Russia. Putin behaves like a Tzar. Jelzin did the same. Its just like in WW1 when Russia was the biggest superpower but rotten to its core regarding skill, discpline, values. It transcended into a deeply inefficient army just like today.

He isn't interested in living in peace and is destroying Russian's future through war. He has united Ukrainians against Russia, united and expanded NATO, made Russia a pariah state, destroyed the economy. He's not playing 3D chess, it's more like darts - which he doesn't seem very good at.

The idea that the WW2 battle of Kursk is in the Russian psyche is ridiculous😮 it's like saying this old American has the US civil War in my psyche Approximately the same time frame.

[@AK-ej5ml]

Sometimes I'm not sure we give the Russians enough credit - it can be dangerous to underestimate your enemy: Potentially the seeming lack of Russian action to move troops into the Kursk region is a test - Russian leadership is running low on personel and the easiest way to get more without compromising the effort in Donbass is to use conscripts. However, before rushing in a large number of conscripts, they want to see how Russian society reacts to a small number of conscripts being added to the war casualties ... if there is no major backlash during the first few weeks or a month, then they'll deploy much higher numbers in Kursk.

[@herewego2788]

What happens when Russia mobilizes?

[@jamesmccrea4871]

Just a thought, not that I believe it would, or possibly could happen. I don't. But wouldn't be interesting if Kursk seceeded itself from Russia over this mess and perhaps join Ukraine or at least declared itself neutral? A bit of "futuristic" alternative history, if you will. The thought that the citizens haven't risen up against the Ukrainians, unlike the rising up of Ukrainians against Russian invasion is telling, I think, of the state of Russian zeal in the region. Which is seemingly lacking.

[@scottkrater2131]

Putin and Gerasimov are the most brilliant strategic planners since Stalin and Voroshilov.

[@horsebee1]

I couldnt agree with Hamish more, the Kursk incursion is not the only move planned by Ukraine to the point that it was intended as a distraction which worked beyond their wildest dreams. Clearly it was very carefully and meticulously planned but I think it was meant to be a distraction for the main goal which is Crimea. They have spent months systematically degrading Crimea's air defense and early warning systems, isolating them in terms of ferries and heavy amphibious cargo and I cant see them wasting all of that effort. What I think will happen is that they will wait until the Russians start to relocate troops away from the major battle front and the F16's are settled in, then take out the Crimean bridge and lay siege to Crimea.
