2024-08-10 | Battle of Kursk Hastens Putin's Downfall - The Name 'Kursk' is Putin's Avenging Nemesis

2024-08-10 | The Battle of Kursk hastens the downfall of Putin's
murderous regime. In a historical irony the name 'Kursk' bookends
failure at the start of his time in office, and may signal it's end in
catastrophic failure. Is Kursk Putin's avenging nemesis?

Is it accurate to say Ukraine has ‘invaded’ Russia? Imposing that
language on the situation may be premature and depend very much on what
happens next. In the unlikely event that Ukrainian troops charge up to
Moscow, Prigozhin style, then the phrase may be apt. But if the present
action turns into a smart manoeuvre to ‘go around’ Russian
fortifications on the Eastern and southern fronts, then it could be seen
as simply an extension of the active front that winds its way across
many hundreds of kilometres of Ukrainian territory, of which around a
thousand kilometres is experiencing active combat at any given time.

We seem immune to the shock of seeing a vast conventional war unfold on
Ukraine’s territory, as if that were somehow normal and natural. But
shocked that the same should be meted out to the aggressor army on
Russian territory. In traditional warfare, that makes no sense, as
whether formally declared or not, Russia has mounted an act of
aggression against Ukraine, on a scale not seen since WWII. In other
words, a war for territorial acquisition and regime change, which also
has the characteristics of a genocidal campaign.

The UN charter is clear and explicit that Ukraine has the right of
self-defence as the victim of this aggression, and whose sovereign
territories have been violated. The UN Charter states: Nothing in the
present Charter shall impair the inherent right of individual or
collective self-defence if an armed attack occurs against a Member of
the United Nations, until the Security Council has taken measures
necessary to maintain international peace and security.
