Hi, Alex Shuman!

  BF>>> I just love Russian humour. During the darkest Stalin years, the
  BF>>> jokes about him were legendary. And now it's Putin's turn: Putin,
  BF>>> after 10 days of Kursk catastrophe, summons Stalin's ghost:
  BF>>> Stalin: "What's happened?" Putin: "Nazis are at Kursk! My army is
  BF>>> beaten! What should I do?" Stalin: "Do like me in 1943. Send the
  BF>>> best Ukrainian troops to the front, and ask the US for arms!"
  ak>> IMHO, this Ukraine invasion in Kursk region is politically
  ak>> profitable for Putin. And in addition, Ukraine having extended the
  ak>> front line will really suffer after Putin sends his troops to
  ak>> Kursk region. However maybe, the current situation is more
  ak>> profitable as it is. It justifies a lot of things in this war.

  AS> No. Because civilians are not targeted, and there will be more
  AS> russian conscripts to exchange (the main target of this invasion, I
  AS> guess).

To lost thousands of troops for exchanging hundreds? ;-) It's a dubious 
idea. I think the matter is more simple.

CIA has correctly told the Ukraine army a good news that there were no 
Russian troops in the Kursk region villages and the invasion will be as 
a defile at first stage. But CIA has not told a bad news -- the invaded 
group will not have a strong-build defensive fortifications, good air 
defence etc when Russian troops arrive at last. Soon the situation will 
look like a hand put into a bear's den.

Bye, Alex!
