Anti-Putin Russians based in Ukraine allegedly stage incursion into Russia
The sad irony is that no one threatened Russia. This is a disaster of its own making! Stay Strong Ukraine 💪🇺🇸♥🇺🇦☮💙💛
Its about time we did
hes a monkey with a grenade
@Dawid B get yourself out a bit more bro. Good bless you 😂
Have you seen the height of Pootin? Who wouldn’t feel threatened when you’re as short as him.😂
@ᛋᛁᛒᛅᛋᛏᛁᛅᚾ я думаю Путин намного выше тебя во всех аспектах
And just to think 8 months ago the eyes 👀 of the world we’re watching the Russian army..and now it’s literally crumbling at every level the turn of events is surreal.
@Guy North Lovely idea – but who will take his place? They may well be worse.
Good news for Putin: these 5 soldiers are well equipped.
Bad news for Putin: these 5 soldiers are the only ones that are well equipped.🤣
Its so pathetic that Russia have to do a photo op, showing the rations each soldier is equipped with. Like wow Russia, congratulations on supplying your soldiers with boots
they will be tied to every russian messile they use…a soldier equipt with messile…hahaha!
5 out of 50 are only equipped 😂😂😂
@Youtube Censorship qq
I hope Ukraine makes as much headway as possible..the GOP is cutting funding off once they get in control. But they also won’t be passing those savings onto our own citizens. The 1%ers will be overly joyed though
Social security and medicare are also on the chopping block
They won’t stop putting fuel in fire when they have the option of water.
We are strong together than divided. This world needs to free from Empirestic and dictorship rule. Unless it puts money in your pocket. This World needs us for so many reasons yet we chose war and talk about weapons. We are accountable for the extinction of so many species yet we still believe in violence in best for a solution. We need to approach this time different way.
God bless the people of Ukraine, you are the bravest and strongest in the world; far more than weakling Putin could ever hope to be.

Okaaaayyy … what does it mean, to “annex” a place?
Does that mean that if you’ve stormed in with bombers dropping bombs and troops shooting all over the place, it’s more legal and/or moral (somehow) than simply conquering it?
They should have shouted that Ukranians had weapons of mass destruction, that would have made it legal according to USA law 😂
I wonder if those ‘ MAGAS I’d rather be a Russian than a Democrat” clowns are over fighting for Mother Russia?
It’s awful that they recruit an old pensioner and give him a so called sniper gun
🤣🤣
He wouldn’t complain. After all, they gave him a gun.
Pictures of Putin inspecting the troops does not look good as he looks nervous
We have been hiding behind the Hope that he will be overthrown. IT’S NOT GOING TO HAPPEN
We should realise the earlier we go kinetic, the earlier the world goes back to normal
“Politics, man. If you’re hanging onto a rising balloon, you’re presented with a difficult decision. Let go before it’s too late or hang on and keep getting higher, posing the question: how long can you keep a grip on the rope?” 😂
@Klemheist go back to sleep and dream of more clichés 😴
Or how slowly can you let the gas out of the balloon?
@John F Well, that what happens if he hangs on to the balloon and gets higher, what happens then? How does that resolve itself in a positive outcome for the balloon holder?
@Klemheist it doesn’t resolve itself, ever. They rise, higher and higher and get so high that they are out of touch with their people. Once that happens their balloon pops and they come crashing back down to earth mostly into their coffin. The balloon is reset and just high enough for the next guy to stomp and jump on his fellow man to grab hold of the rope
A long list of names going back to Caesar but probably thousands more before that we don’t even know about. The story always ends up the same. Fact is people just do not want a supreme leader.
For the president to personal inspect standard gear that is issued to a soldier is by far the worst insult to the Russian military lol These inspections were done by my NCO before deploying to Iraq and I can assure you, if my gear was not together, the Platoon Sergeant would have a field day on me. I can’t imagine the president coming down and doing the inspection lol
@Victor yeah, somehow I knew you’d be pro-Republican. If you keep up the work at the troll farm can you avoid being drafted?
@Victor 😂😂😂
@Chris Martin Oh I notice you have joined the child Brigade. Do your hero’s live in the shire?.
I VERY PROUD OF THE UKRAINIAN FIGHTERS
Democracy (the West) falls apart. It also builds anew. It adapts and constantly changes around its central beliefs. Autocratic systems have a stability based on threat and coercion, even criminality. They can be strong for a time. Like a brittle alloy cracks will appear and some will lead to sudden failure. Democracy is a ductile alloy, it will deform and bend out of shape, may not appear the most efficient, but its failure will have lots of warning signs.
Hard to see an uprising or revolution happening in Russia any time soon. Putin still has lots of domestic support, especially from the older, stubborn, brainwashed generation. Nine months into the war many in Russia continue to turn a blind eye to it. Upwards of one million men of fighting age fled the country to avoid mobilisation. Don’t see many of them protesting, speaking out etc even in the relative safety of another country. Wish the Russians where as brave as the Iranians but it seems they are not, for various reasons.
Putin’s hold on power may be “quite strong” now, but I think when it goes it will go fast, not gradually
And what do you think about the person who would replace him ? Do you think he would be pro western , pro peace ??? He could be actually worst than Putin , be careful for what you wish for
