I've watched your videos for years, Patrick, and always admired your courage in going to some pretty dangerous spots. But please be careful. Kursk is no party.

In today's https://militarysummary.com/ map, there is an announcement here: https://t.me/MilSumArchive/24189 which says the general order to retreat from Kursk has been given. Apparently, it will happen within 48 hours from the announcement. Following that, I suspect Russian forces will advance apace toward Loknia and perhaps also Basivka and Bolovody. But, that's just my guess.

And, thinking about my "guess", it may be more prudent for the Russian forces to comb through the recently-evacuated areas and root out all of the stragglers.

Hopefully they can surround it and take as many of the commanders prisoner and bring them to justice for the crimes that they committed on the civilian population in that area. I just hope that they didn't get a chance to escape when they knew it was going bad and the people who ordered the troops to kill those old people in that basement get tried.

Ironically this may advance the cause of peace. If Zelensky loses the Kursk lever, that may bring forward peace talks, because Russia was never going to engage in getting Kursk back by trading anything for it.

Kursk was never a "lever" or a "bargaining chip" for any peace talks.

Also the green goblin never had any decision power over the Kursk incursion or any other Ukrainian military initiative.

Western media and even supposedly "neutral" bloggers have always portrayed the Kursk incursion as the green goblin waking up one morning and having the bright idea of attacking a relatively empty region of Russia defended by a few dozen border guards.

The truth is the Kursk incursion was planned months in advance by US/CIA/NATO command and remotely micromanaged from day 1 (6th August 2024) by a special command center setup in Germany.

It was conceived as a "demonstration" of what the best US/NATO-trained Ukrainian troops, using US/NATO weaponry and "maneuver warfare" tactics could achieve against what they assumed was a relatively weakly defended region of Russia.

The fact that the Kursk incursion has turned into a debacle for the Ukrainians will neither advance or slow down peace talks, peace will come when all the objectives of the SMO are achieved.

The Irony of this Ukrainian collapse being that Zelensky made it possible.

If Zelensky had not cut off the gas supply to Europe, there would still have been gas in the pipelines the Russians used to infiltrate the Kursk region behind Ukrainian lines, and the Russians would not have been able to use the pipelines.

So well done Zelensky, you are fully responsible for the demise of yoir own army in Kursk.

Are you asking me what I think will happen in Kursk? In the 1960's I would be Affectionately be called an "armchair general" if I answered that question.

When fathers would talk of how WW2 should have been fought.

So what I think will happen is that because of troop totals Russia can't be understaffed because they are escorting surrendered Ukrainians North. As horrible as it sounds Russia will not take prisoners. At least not too many to manage.
