They're just liberating population that's calling itself Ukrainian!

Funny how those tables can turn...

If you go back to 12000 BC those lands are historically part of Ukraine so it's totally justified.

Ironically now that Russia is reporting it, I'm unsure if Ukraine actually did cross the border.

I saw videos of russian buildings half destroyed, burning structures and vehicles, random explosions, rubble and trash everywhere. Im still not sure if Ukraine crossed the border, that might just be how Russia be.

I heard Russia holds an insurmountable number of Nazis.

Oh no, they got invaded, whatever shall they do??

Hope they don't harm the civilians, doubt they would honestly.

I know right they are surprised that it is an act of war. When I first read the article I thought WTF is Russia doing or done.

I thought troops crossing borders was okay, though.

They'll get bargaining chip if they can hold it. Russia will want Kursk back, and maybe give up their gains in the east in an eventual settlement. On the other hand, it could drum up more popular support for a wider draft.

More likely they'll reposition troops to retake it, allowing for counter pushes elsewhere.
