'Putin is not coming out of this well' as he fails to tackle Kursk incursion | Mark Galeotti

“Putin is not coming out of this well.”
Putin is “looking behind the sofa cushion for loose change” as his response to the Ukraine’s “major incursion” of the Kursk region “is lacking a clear direction”, says Mark Galeotti.

If you look at the overall picture of the Ukraine/Russia war it has shown that Putins Military has sub standard military personal and that Putin himself has shown that as Commander in Chief his decision making is questionably. The inability to stop an invasion into Russia is a major issue for all Russians and Putin needs to be held accountable for this.

[@Comm.DavidPorter]

try: "Putin himself has shown that as Commander in Chief his decision making is questionable" - or rather I would say "horrible." He has taken a prosperous nation that was doing very well on the world stage, having made most of Europe dependent on it for energy, and has squandered all of ruzzia's best assets on a useless imperialist venture that has taken the lives of 600,000 young ruzzian men (or maimed them).

The first question I would have someone answer me concerning the west more so NATO. America seems to have been Ukraines set back. America had never been all in .NATO has witnessed the poor qualities of Russian troops and their military strength . why ? Why did the western alliance not have the information on Russia and why did they not do anything to allow Ukraine to just kick Russia out. Red line talk is bull and never was going to happen. The talking points are why ? And Putin is still given a class review . Tell it as it is or shut up !

[@Comm.DavidPorter]

Why? you ask. Because Joe Biden is a coward, and always has been. The "western alliance" most certainly had "the information on Russia" as of the fall of 2021. Why they did not "do [enough to help] Ukraine to just kick Russia out? Joe Biden is a coward.

Britain, Russia and other WWII allies of the United States never paid back the loans for the equipment they received during the war. They weren't asked to do so. The figures are a matter of historical record and are available.

[@badgershands]

​@arthursmith6854 not fully true. Much of the equipment loaned to the uk was due to be decommissioned. At the end of the war equipment was purchased by UK at 10% of its value via a financial loan from the US with 2% interest. This loan was paid back fully in 2006.

[@TheOne-pv4rz]

Another reason why they choose Kursk region imo is.. well it's Kursk or did we all forget what happened there during ww2, arguably the biggest tank battle in history.

19:10 it has always interested me how entitled Russian people feel like. This entitlement goes deep, and I saw it even more prominently when the war went into high intensity back in February of 22. Many of my most liberal friends, had a very imperialistic and entitled way of seeing not only the war but pretty much everybody not Russian. I'm not talking about nationalists, revanchists and jingoistic z people, I'm talking about relatively higher middle class professionals who had a mostly liberal viewpoint. They simply couldn't understand why anybody else would care about what Russia did to Ukraine, it was after all theirs... This is the same reason that they are a little bit surprised, and upset about the ones that they've attacked punching back. If only for that reason alone, the west must help Ukraine win quickly, because it's the only way that Russians might change their attitude about the rest of the world
