"Kursk changed the war"

A discussion with Dmitry Polyanskiy - First Deputy Permanent Representative of the Russian Federation to the United Nations

We got the Russian perspective on the invasion of Kursk, in A discussion with Dmitry Polyanskiy - First Deputy Permanent Representative of the Russian Federation to the United Nations.

Polyanskiy discussed why the Americans have been very silent about the invasion of Russian territory on the diplomatic front, the likely objectives of the invasions, Russia’s response, and the wider consequences.

My main concern is that a direct NATO-Russia war is only prevented by NATO pretending not to be attacking Russia and Russia pretending not to be attacked. With every new escalation, there is less ability and preparedness to pretend we are not already in a war. It appears that the Americans are aware that the deep strikes into Russia, the attacks on nuclear power plants, and the invasion of Russian territory take us to the brink of nuclear war.
