All kinds of rumors about Crimea being next, Putin trying to move troops from the Kharkiv area over to Kursk, and shit is going down in Belgorod, and the Russian troops in the Kharkiv area probably can't get down to Belgorod because Kursk.
Feels like the Russian army, at least from say Kharkiv over to Belarus, is in a really bad position.
I listened to an interview with General Ben Hodges, and he mentioned that because the FSB is in charge of the response (because it's Ukrainian terrorists pouring over the border, dontcha know), and because the FSB and Russian military are not fond of one another, the Russian military could be slow-rolling their response, or at the very least, providing the utmost minimal support because they A) don't want any of their troops to be under FSB control and B) resources are slim to begin with and if they help the FSB, they could be screwing themselves over if the Ukrainians hit them. And he mentioned most military leaders don't want to see the FSB succeed.
We have our turf wars in the Western militaries, man do we have turf wars, but we would never allow something like this - it really does harken back to the Soviet Union and the Cold War.
