This new Battle of Kursk sounds more like the Battle of the Bulge than the WWII version of Kursk. The Germans threw the last of their armored reserves at Americans in Belgium in a desperate move to seize Antwerp and force the Western Allies to the negotiating table.

They had some success for a couple of weeks, and then Allied air power and armor finished them. This latest Ukrainian offensive strongly reminds me of that one.

Very lucid and persuasive analysis. The de-Nazification of Ukraine was Putin's stated goal, ab initio. Drawing them (and Nato mercenaries) into Kursk will hopefully eliminate the danger for the future. Brilliant if it works! It is difficult to deny the utter stupidity of both Zelensky and his Washington goon handlers.
