Yes.
It was never about keeping Kursk; it was a distraction to thin out Russian forces and have them refocus efforts on their own territory instead of attacking Ukraine. Eventually losing it was expected.

If you read the article, the dead soldiers friends and relatives say "no".

Yes, the real question is - to whom was it worth the effort? To imperialists that play for world resource domination - maybe. For people - no. On both sides - no.

What's the alternative? You do realize that surrender means bye bye Ukraine. If it was your country you'd think differently before just casually handing yourself over to a fascist invader.

Shit can happen if your fascist US vasals have a coup and attack a Russian speaking minority that wasn't OK with it.
