Joe Biden and Kamala Harris have made this country less safe than ever before. They don’t plan on changing anything anytime soon.
And now the US just inched one step closer to World War III with a terrifying invasion.
Invasion in the Motherland
Ukrainian forces have launched a significant incursion into Russia’s Kursk region, according to Russian officials, marking a major escalation in the ongoing conflict.
Kursk, located just beyond Ukraine’s northeastern Sumy region, has been under direct attack from Ukrainian troops since Tuesday night, Russia’s Ministry of Defense stated on Telegram.
Russian forces have mostly repelled the advance of the Ukrainian force, which included 260 militants and 50 units of armored vehicles, the Russian Ministry of Defense claimed.
Russian military blogger Rybar reported on Telegram that Ukrainian forces have occupied several settlements in Kursk and are advancing toward the town of Sudzha. Ukrainian troops are also moving toward the settlements of Nikolaevo-Darino, just east of Sudzha.
At least 28 people have died in the attacks on the region, which is currently under a state of emergency, according to Russian state-run media.
Alexei Smirnov, the acting governor of the Kursk region, said the situation “remains tense” in a post on Telegram.
Russian President Vladimir Putin is holding an emergency meeting on the Kursk attacks, Smirnov reported.
Ukrainian officials have not publicly commented on the incursion. At the urging of the U.S., Kyiv has refrained from directly sending troops into Russia and does not strike Russian territory with American or allied weapons unless it involves a cross-border attack.
Putin is likely to respond with aggression if Ukrainian forces have indeed mounted a direct assault on a Russian region.
Anti-Kremlin Russian groups have previously crossed into Russia’s border regions to carry out attacks, but Russian military blogger Alexander Kots wrote that “very specific brigades of the Ukrainian Armed Forces” entered Russia, calling it a full-blown military operation.
“Not a sabotage and reconnaissance group, not a terrorist squad, but regular troops of a neighboring state. And they do not hide this,” he wrote on Telegram.
The Kursk attacks may have been aimed at preventing Russian forces from launching an offensive into the Sumy region, where there have been reports of Moscow preparing for another attack.
Ukraine is already defending its territory across the 600-mile front from Russian forces, including a May offensive that began in the northeastern Kharkiv region neighboring Sumy.
Why it’s important
Joe Biden and leaders of other NATO allies recently approved and delivered F-16 fighter jets.
I am grateful to the United States, Denmark, and the Netherlands for taking practical steps to achieve the goal of all Ukrainians: to strengthen the Ukrainian air force with F-16s.
I am grateful to Belgium and Norway for their commitment to providing us with their F-16 jets.…

We were assured that they wouldn’t be used in a broader war, but only for defense.
With this new assault into Russian territory, we wouldn’t be surprised if that changes.
