Ukr army down to 330,000 from 1 mil in late 2022 - WSJ.

Reminder there's no de-mobilisation in the Ukr army, there's only 2 ways out, death or severe wounding.

Reminder too that Ukr has been constantly mobilising new troops throughout the conflict.

Ukr has said recently Russian army is around 700,000.


Meanwhile, Biden takes a huge dump on the White House floor for Trump to clean up.

US troops launching US long range missiles into Russia is actually a real Putin red line (not one of the many fake ones claimed by Biden and Zelensky).

With hundreds of US bases around the world, expect deliveries of hypersonic missiles for the local insurgents to play with, nice one Biden.


And there is still zero actual evidence there are any North Korean troops on the battlefronts in spite of hysterical rhetoric to the contrary. Zero vids or photos of NK casualties. It makes no sense for Russia to mix unequipped, untrained, unintegrated NK troops, none of whom can speak Russian, with their own experienced troops. They would be a liability.

Maybe after months of training who knows, but 10,000 out of Russia's 700,000 would make no actual difference anyway.

The combat value of these units is probably close to zero, if not negative.
What is much more interesting is what North Korea gets in return,
and what South Korea and Japan have to say about it.

Once again Biden takes a half step back after an escalation. Now says ATACMS can only be used in Kursk battlefront area, not Russia as a whole.

2 possible reasons missiles might be needed in Kursk. Ukr are steadily being pushed out but Ukr need Kursk as a bargaining chip. Or, missiles are needed to allow a Ukr retreat from Kursk with minimal losses (as suggested by the Military Summary Channel).

But opinion from many commentators is that the main reason for Biden's escalation is just to trip up the incoming Trump admin.

So Biden approves ATACMS because of NK troops in Kursk, but there aren't any, so go for a ammo dump further into Rus, that Ukr have shown in the past they can already hit with drones anyway.

6 ATACMS used (only 1 got through) out of a total Ukr supply of 50 (according to the Times (London)).

You can see why Lloyd Austin and the Pentagon have said ATACMS can't/won't change the course of the conflict.
