@DeeGLloyd What do you want the next video to be about? (Just returned from vacation and have to get up to speed again.)

@anderspuckWelcome back! I think everyone is wondering why the heck #Ukraine seems to be trading bits of #Donetsk for bits of #Kursk. I'm not an expert so it's hard to understand what the play might be.

@DeeGLloyd @anderspuck My guess: Taking parts of Kursk is easier. So they are doing that.Seems smart to me.

@amayer @DeeGLloyd I also think it’s a way of putting pressure on the Russians. If they dig in, it could be hard to throw them out again. It can give Putin quite a few dilemmas. But it is a surprise move and I am not sure anybody fully understands what is going on.

@anderspuck @DeeGLloyd There’s lots of angles to this. (Which, incidentally, totally justifies making a video about it.)They are pulling russian troops away from other parts of the front.They are threatening russian logistics for the northeastern front.They are making the "freeze current front line" gambit untenable for russia.They ruin the idea that Ukraine is not allowed to transgress into russia proper. (1/2)

They are apparently taking lots of prisoners; those are always a bargaining chip.They destroy the russian domestic propaganda that this war is only happening outside of russia.And I'm sure there are more. (2/2)
