Well, factually, Denis Kaputsin served a 9 year prison sentence for hate crimes and terrorism. He was then deported because of his Nazi beliefs. His organization was banned. Most of it members fled or were imprisoned for their attacks on minorities in Russia. After Kaputsin was deported, the EU completely banned him from entering any EU country, citing his hate crimes, Nazi affiliation and his previous attempts to make neo-Nazi parties in the EU. Let’s recap- Denis Kaputsin is a Russian neo-Nazi who was convicted of hate crimes, hate speech and terrorism in Russia. He was deported. His party was banned. The EU has prevented him from setting foot inside it. And Ukraine went to him (he was in Ukraine) and offered him weapons and training to form a military unit. And people thought this was a good idea? It’s a bit more serious than “waving a flag”.

> Even if they don’t hit the plant itself, knocking out the substations to cause some massive blackouts would be a nice turnaround on Russia. They wouldn't need to invade for that, just fly some drones with metal wires into the transformers and high voltage lines. Instantly trips the whole plant off the grid and the electrical equipment tends to both not like that very well and take a long time to replace.

The F-16s Ukraine is getting are older and generally have shorter range radars compared to modernized ones. They are not going to be able to get either high enough or close enough without exposing themselves to long range SAMs. Their duties at first will most likely be intercepting slower targets like larger Russian reconnaissance drones and cruise missiles. I'd also expect to see them used for ground attack roles later on. But I doubt we'll see them used to intercept Russian attack aircraft or bombers unless Russia makes some serious mistakes. Kinematically, they just can't. They don't have the opportunity to get enough altitude for A2A missiles to have that kind of range, because Russia has long range ground based air defense parked all over the border. Ukraine has absolutely been prioritizing targeting those air defense systems, and done a lot of damage, but there is no way in hell they are going to expose the F-16s and their invaluable pilots to any more risk than they absolutely have to.

Operation Downfall would've gone ahead if not for Hiroshima and Nagasaki. Large portions of the Japanese leadership, including the Emperor, felt they could weather the bombings and force an invasion. They felt that after the causalities inflicted upon Allied forces, already war weary, at Iwo Jima and Okinawa were a good indication of what Imperial Japanese forces supported by conscripted civilians could do. The hope was that if they inflicted enough causalities during the invasion they could force concessions during the negotiations, and not have to unconditionally surrender. Also, LeMay (and others) felt that the nukes would be more humane than the firebombing raids, which were horrific to say the very least. Bomber crews wore masks to cut the smell of burning human flesh during these raids..

I think you might be overestimating tactical nukes. It would only have a kill radius of about a kilometer. It may kill hundreds but it would bring the whole of NATO into the war and they'd win in a matter of weeks if not days. If Russia used strategic nukes it would be mutually assured destruction and the world ends, They would likely never do that, especially not over Kursk and not without plenty of warnings.

Prigozhin spent a day reaching Moscow, despite being attacked by Russian air defense. The 2+ battalions Ukraine has in Kursk now should be able to do the same. I don't think that's their strategy, but goddamnit it would have been an amazing gamble. The main problem is that Russia has overconfidence in Putin. He's not a good leader. He's a nutcase. I think that a suicide attack on Moscow would be devastating for Russia, but that would require thousands of Ukrainian soldiers willing to bet everything on this one, very risky tactic. The best thing Ukraine can do is bring the turmoil onto Russian soil, and prove to everyone, once and for all, that Putin does not care about his country or people.

Best defense is a good offense. This is an EXCELLENT move by Ukraine. It will force the Russians out of their defensive positions to protect their own country (and freaking Moscow), which will allow Ukraine to conduct some offensive operations to clear their own land..... Well, assuming that Russia can put up any defense between Ukraine and Moscow. Wagner got damned close and I would not be surprised to see Ukrainian flags heading into the square of Moscow. Probably not, but keep in mind Russia doesn't have much left to defend with, and what they do have has golf carts and motorcycles. Put that western tech with veteran crews on the open plains of Kursk, and it'll be like Desert Storm 91 all over again. If Ukraine can act very quickly, they can end this, but if Russia gains some brains or magically creates a new army, they will have to fall back as quickly as they advanced to avoid envelopment.

So just to clarify, yes Hitler was insane and made some incredibly stupid decisions across the course of the war, along with the evil ones we know well, You are however running on history that is massively biased and isn't really the truth and in reality cope from those generals making themselves look better. We have direct sources from WW2 of generals actually overruling Hitler and either persuading him or pressuring him to change his plans to suite them, the idea that he overruled them at every turn is mainly sourced from post war memoirs of German generals who survived the war along with generals selected by western allied nations to help build a more complete picture of both sides of the war, these generals had absolutely every incentive to lie and did indeed lie, as historians have found massive gaps in their stories or evidence has come out that directly contradicts their accounts. The battle of Kursk being a good example, where post war narrative even taught today is it was Hitlers mad final gambit, when in reality the situation was more nuanced with a large amount of his generals confidently assuring him it was the correct plan, and even before he officially signed it to be official in a telephone call he told someone it was turning his stomach and he wasn't all that into it. Not to say he didn't make utterly insane choices, but the main insane choice was to even start the war, they had barely enough fuel to even last a short offensive into Russia before they needed oil fields. Funnily enough the "they almost got Moscow Hitler didn't let them" is another piece of information that gets parroted even though Stalin would have just left and the war would have continued, they needed the caucasus oil fields to even move forward any more, and even then Hitlwe folded and let Army group centre spend way too much time in Moscow instead of redirecting them to the point they got encircled because they had been there too long Also just to be clear, the original blitzkreig was successful but the reason English and French troops escaped back to England across the chanel is the direct result of Hitler taking the back seat and letting Göring (who promised he'd handle Dunkirk) deal with it (he failed). And that was the result of Rommel and other units pushing French troops back too far and then having to stop because they had outpaced their supply lines and had to literally stop and wait which let the allies retreat much further. TLDR: His generals were largly as equally incompetent as Hitler was, they made plenty of their own bad decisions without Hitler even needing to get involved, although he did do that sometimes too

The British and the Poles are very similar, even our wankers. And there are no massive rallies here in the UK about the largest group of modern immigrants are there? The most likely foreign language you will hear anywhere in the UK, and I travel very extensively, is Polish. I lived for thirty years just down the road from the massive Polish War Memorial to the West of London. There are a large number of sadly lost Polish men who rest forever on the soil they gave their lives to protect after theirs fell. I, at least am very grateful for their bravery and sacrifice.

Well, yeah ... but it's something *any* power plant should be prepared to deal with. Even without a war, a natural disaster or major equipment malfunction might require you to isolate the plant from the grid at any moment, unexpectedly. Any nuclear plant should have established procedures and training for this, and should be able to handle it without any disasters occurring. Going without such precautions would be extremely reckless, because even without a war going on nearby, the plant's connection to the grid could be unexpectedly severed at any moment.

Right but geopolitically we don't even factor the actual use into it, it's just a thing they'll say that will inevitably bring Europe and the US to tell the Ukrainian govt to hold back. The Ukrainian themselves may hold back. It's just a trump card. Obviously they don't even need to tactically nuke the Kursk region. This is a country with icbms. They'll threaten kyiv itself. This is all things Ukraine knows and is operating under the assumption it would eventually occur. Hence why they wouldn't even plan to push that far. It serves no real purpose and opens them up to more front line to man. Russia is already redeploying assets. Whether this is effective depends on how successful the real attacks are in the occupied regions due to this redeployment.
