The Ukrainian army stunned Russia in August by attacking across the border and taking control of an estimated 1,300 square kilometers (500 square miles) of land. It was a much-needed morale boost for Ukraine " but more importantly, the country's leaders believed the capture of Russian territory might help in any future peace negotiations with its enemy. Now, after months of intense pressure from Russian forces supported by troops from North Korea, Ukraine only holds about 30% of the Russian land it had seized and its forces are in retreat after a rapid near-defeat in the city of Sudzha.
If only America had some government in Africa they kept in power despite the Muslim Brotherhood trying to overthrow it, that perhaps the US supplied with fighters, tanks, helicopters, military training, etc, that shared a border with Gaza to funnel the refugees through.
