Inquiring minds want to know: Why did the Ukrainians attack Russia’s Kursk region, opening up a new northern front that was mostly peaceful until now? The gambit was quite hopeless, given that the Ukrainians were already losing control of their remaining toeholds in other bits of what is now Russian territory, and now stand to lose a lot more of it. What’s more, to stage that hopeless invasion, the Ukrainians had to pull their best remaining troops out of the eastern front, weakening it to a point where the Russian troops are advancing faster then ever.

What’s even more, by outright attacking a peaceful and relatively defenseless region that’s been under Russian control since September 2, 1943 — when the Red Army drove out Hitler’s Nazis — and by doing so with Ukrainian Nazis and assorted NATO personnel sometimes erroneously referred to as “mercenaries,” all merrily festooned with Nazi insignia, they managed to reopen a Pandora’s box that had remained shut for 80 years. Scores of Russian men are now persuaded that it is time to teach the world another lesson in not ever invading Russia and they are reporting to their nearest recruitment office. This new crop of volunteers, numbering around 1500 per day, is different from the previous crop of volunteers, who just wanted to help their brothers in the Donbass, or the reservists that were called up to active duty. These ones actually want to go and kick some Nazi ass all the way to Jupiter. All those who have sympathized with the Ukrainian Nazis should be very nervous because the Russians will now no doubt look for… kinetic ways to explain to them the error of their ways.

The rationales given by the Ukrainians for their invasion of Kursk were all preposterous. One rationale given was that the attack was a way to break the ice with the Russians, leading to fruitful negotiations. This was said soon after the Russians pointed out that there is no legitimate government in Kiev and therefore nobody to negotiate with. Zelensky’s tenure ran out in May, the parliament’s tenure ran out in August and all of the above are now just squatting in public buildings in Kiev. And there is nobody to negotiate with in Washington either, what with old Biden flopped out on a beach somewhere and barely drawing oxygen while his minions run amok trying to wrap their heads around Kamala’s gross ineptitude.

Another rationale given was that the Kursk invasion would force the Russians to pull troops away from the eastern front, slowing their advance. They tried to accomplish this by… wait for it… pulling their own troops off the eastern front while the Russians deployed fresh reserves to Kursk while their advance in the east accelerated. They didn’t know that the Russians only deployed approximately half of their troops to the front at any given time while the rest are kept busy with testing new equipment and going through training exercises? And does that even matter?

Some analysts (Aaron Matté, for instance) have surmised that the Ukrainian attack on Kursk was motivated by the desire to please their American masters. The Ukrainians would show a bit of derring-do and in response the Americans would give them more money and more weapons. This theory presupposes that the Ukrainians make their own decisions and that they are not merely American puppets. But the facts that the Kursk invasion was based on intelligence information provided by American satellites and reconnaissance planes, that it relied on NATO-provided armor, artillery and other weapons, and that the “mercenaries” that manned all this fancy equipment were in fact NATO personnel (speaking Polish, English, French and Spanish) would indicate that the Kursk invasion was a NATO-run operation.

Who, then, ordered this invasion? Was it NATO people in Brussels? No, they don’t make any decisions without consulting with the Pentagon. Was it the Pentagon people acting on their own? No, they always consult with the State Department, the National Security Council and other bits of federal alphabet soup. Was it Biden, rousing himself from his semi-permanent slumber to order this attack? Few people still believe that Biden is still in charge of anything. His two parting shots were: naming Kamala the Brainless as his successor; and, to top it off, stating unequivocally that she played a major role in formulating Biden’s disastrous policies for the past three and a half years. These are the spiteful acts of a bitter old man who is too senile to realize that he is senile.

Who, then, ordered the Kursk invasion. We can be sure that it was people in Washington, but we may perhaps never find out who exactly these people are. But we can still ask the usual question: Quo bono? Who profited from the Kursk attack? Given the large number of tanks, APCs, artillery and rocket systems and other military hardware, we can confidently state that the makers of this equipment were happy to see it blown up because now it will have to be reordered and the new contracts will make them profits. And we can be sure that the congressmen and senators that get kickbacks from these military contracts, which are used to fund their reelection campaigns, were happy, as well as all the stockholders of these defense contractors.

Kursk was invaded by puppets in the name of stockholder equity. The Ukrainian puppets obeyed their American puppets, which obeyed the simple imperatives of corrupt American state capitalism which has been killing people around the world for profit for a couple of centuries now. They had no choice but to obey these imperatives or they would have lost money — a mortal sin in the American scheme of things. Ukrainian puppets under American government puppets under defense contractor puppets under finance puppets: it’s puppets all the way down.
