My simple mind wishes for a NATO all-in just to get this over with. My logical mind however, reminds me that there are long term consequences. Because what comes after taking Moscow? How do you hold it? Who does that piss off? And what happens to the Russian people? How many of our resources will they need to consume to join the 21st century? What do they want? Do they even know? It's not hard to understand why support is being capped to Ukraine's borders.

One (Russian biased) map of what might be happening in Kursk Oblast.

Some unconfirmed footage of Russian civilians fleeing Lgov, which is the next city east of Rylsk in Kursk Oblast. Would have been helpful to have independent news sources to confirm this!

Ah, the ISW have a better conflict map of the Kursk Oblast. Simple, with reasoning/sources.
