Ukraine has not taken the city of Kursk; they have merely taken some, mostly rural, parts of the oblast, or region of Kursk. The largest town they have taken as of this writing is Sudzha, which has just over 6,000 people.

    The Russo-Ukrainian War was far different from the American Civil War, and Ukraine was, of course, not anything morally resembling the Confederate States of America.

    🤔

      More of a morally descending from the CSA

      It’s pretty funny how they go out of their way to avoid making the obvious comparison with the first nazi invasion of Kursk, because all the same points could’ve been made with it too.

      Yeah, but clearly a military themed newspaper that writes about the US military could never mention anything about WWII’s Eastern Front

          Enemy at the Gates was a documentary and the events took place in real time

    Gettysburg probably had a better chance for success, tbh.

      Either way, it’s overcommitting troops in an attempt to deal a massive blow

      It never turns out well

    Would the Battle of the Bulge be a similar comparison?

      I think the battle of Kursk would be the closest comparison, but we all know why a US publication can’t talk about that.
