    Amazing how fast a army can advance into Russia when they're not looting toilets and washing machines.
  • 2022: Russia 2nd best military in the world. 2023: Russia 2nd best military in Ukraine. 2024: Russia 2nd best military in Russia. I see a trend.
  • Sergei Markov, former advisor to Putin and a huge supporter of the "SMO", was visibly shaken and for the first time publicly admitted in a interview with Times Radio today that incursion in Ukraine is a "huge humiliation" for Vladimir Putin.

    Putin "Our border protection troops are bravely dropping their weapons and surrendering to the Ukrainian forces in exchange for a drink of clean water and a wholesome meal. As with all Russian soldiers it's better to survive as a Ukrainian prisoner than it is to die being abandoned by Russia without food, water, or ammunition on the front line. Since Russia is unable to defend its own borders Russia will pay off any citizens that have to flee the border area for the low, low price of $100 cash."

    Do you know why Putin wont pull out and end this war? Donald Trump. He bring Putin hope. If he's defeated, the war will end.

    After Russia told so many lies, news channels still discuss Russia’s statements as if they mean something
  • @Aaron-rw3lv
    Ukrainians will be marching on moscow and putler will still be there in his bunker saying “looks like the Ukrainians are trying to improve their negotiationing positions. I wonder what could have caused this 🤔” 😂

    Tough question: Who is more messed up psychologically, Trump or Putin?
  • @XX-qi5eu
    Now that the Russian army is the second best army in Russia, Pootin should apply to NATO for protection.
