another great day in my americunt trailer park
yeah, but trumpochuk says that he stopped russia from taking all of ukraine, which it wanted to do from the beginning. that’s his victory number 324, according to his holiness.
of course, on the realist side of trumpochuk, he says he doesn’t really believe that russia destroyed its own nord stream pipelines, which western ‘journalists’ themselves debunked and moved on from to another fantasy years ago.
can’t help but admire his holiness’ grasp of contemporary events. lol

total disgrace as long as putin is president this war will not end as he is babysitting zelinski to get credit from trump.this war can end like afghanistan war which finally west win.thats what macron wants.
russia cannot and will not afford with its mighty force to prolong this wr for three years.russia could have wipe out zelenski and crooks long time go.but putin wants credit after lots of russian tanks and jets were down.
both stalin and putin are biggest failure in russian military affairs.that’s why staling give away ukraine and he and his cronies get defeated in afghanistan war were lots of russian soldiers also died after ww1nd 2.
mighty ukrainian air defence manages to shoot down almost all russian drones, but unluckily debris falls always on military facilities, and they catch fire. that’s really a bad luck.
putin is big show.if any thing happens to russian soldiers which parade then it is putin’s faults for displaying them to be kill by drug useless macron and starmer control zelenski.
