And the West still isn't doing all it can to help Ukraine during a really critical moment which could develop into a huge advantage to Ukraine despite the fact that Putin has for the 50th time shown himself to be a paralysed coward who knows the only escalation he can do is striking NATO or using a nuke, both of which he's clearly fucking terrified about doing but still, can't use long-range missiles on Russia, Ukraine...The level of cowardice shown by Putin shows every single red-line, escalation management, etc. Was a massive strategic mistake and history won't look back kindly on the escalation managers.

Yeah, i'm still hopeful though with Kamala being favored in the polls, and i'm hearing about aid packages all the time.   



During this chaos, the Russian Volunteer Corps and Freedom of Russia Legion should sneak in behind enemy lines and go wild.

Those two groups are completely meaningless. One clowngroup is centered around a loudmouth with about 20 people, the other maybe has company strength. They play no role whatsover, hence you never hear from the Ukranian command about doing anything with those clowns.

Add in the Sibir battallion.

In fact, smuggle that one to their homeland of Siberia, then let them stage a revolt for the liberation of the Sakha people (and neighbouring  Buryat and Tuva while they're at it)

Speaking of which, reports that some guards in the Kursk Oblast were Chechen and that those basically let the Ukrainians pass through without any resistance doesn't bode too well for Kadyrov and especially for Russia if the Kadyrovs were to be out of the picture...

...Hence why they should sneak in during the chaos behind enemy lines.

We don't know their size for certain but by most accounts it's quite small, a few hundred or so, but the core issue is that the RVC and FRL have different goals to Ukraine, ones which they likely won't achieve even if Ukraine wins the war. Ukraine's ultimate goal is simply to push Russia out of Ukraine while RVC and FRL's goals are to overthrow Putin.

Unless they change their goals, I don't see what purpose they'd serve to remain part of Ukraine's fighting force post-war, unless they suddenly want to be Ukrainian now instead and officially join as part of Ukraine's military. Seems they'd be better served causing chaos inside of Russia itself via covert operations rather than the small cross-border raids they've been doing and now would be a good time to sneak some in.

And since Ukraine is now the one doing the border raids after using the RVC/FRL for the past year to say "hey, it's not us, it's volunteer groups!" to avoid the West crying at them, but now Ukraine is doing it and Russia didn't escalate at all and the West has saw that Ukraine can invade Russia without pissing their pants, RVC and FRL's main role in the war (the cross-border raids) can be taken over by Ukraine itself.

Not one, but 2 new videos from Kings and Generals today.

The first one is an update on what happened in July:

The most interesting part is that Russia is apparently wizening up a bit on their tactics and adapting them. Welcome to the 21st century, Russia

And the second one is about the defense of Mariupol and it's effects on the Russian offensive:

They aren't called the TikTok Brigade for nothing

Honestly, Prigozhin would have steamrolled Kadyrov's men...He's such an idiot.

Kadyrov's men are only good for beating up defenceless civilians.

These two clowngeoups are not part of Ukranian military command. The Ukranians are fully aware about not filling in any plans with a bunch of disgruntled people whose allegiance may not really be beyond doubt. Particularly that guy with his group of 20 pawns is a security risk at best, so the Ukranians know to stay away from them. I'm pretty sure these two clowngroups had no idea about what was going to happen in the Kursk region.
