The media doesn’t yet have a clear picture of what is going on in Kursk in Russia. If Ukraine has crossed the border and are attacking a city inside Russia then that is quite a development. The part that I truly don’t get is reports of Russia stating that this is a “large-scale provocation”.

Firstly, who cares what Russia has to say. Secondly, Russia’s invasion of Ukraine is pure evil, so for Russia to moan about anything is just ridiculous. Imagine a murderer being caught red handed and then the media publishing complaints from the murderer stating that they were mistreated, etc. And thirdly, who gives a continental about anything to do with Russia. Whatever Russia has to say cannot be trusted. For all we know, Russia could make up a story about Kursk so that they can try mobilize more Russians to be sent to the meat grinder.

I often think this is like an episode of Candid Camera and someone is going to reveal the hidden camera soon and show us all that this has been one big setup. How can this war still be raging on, in this day and age, with clear atrocities being committed by Russia, week after week, and still have Russians at the Olympics, at other sporting events, at the United Nations, on holiday all over the globe, etc. How can Western companies still be operating in Russia and still look at themselves in the mirror. I just don’t get it. If the free world were united with common values and all cut Russia off then this war would have ended a long time ago.
