the exceptionals are coming, are russia prepared to make a peace deal with the exceptionals. they will accept the trump offer, wait and see… everything is predesigned in this world, so bored.
putin is trying everything to get kursk back before trump’s inauguration but is miserably failing 🇷🇺=🤡 😆😆😆
why would the russians be influenced by trump’s inauguration ? it’s west propaganda fantasy, like 50,000 troops offensive and north korea troops. trump’s inauguration will make no difference whatsoever. the usa is far from being all powerful, whatever their leaders delude themselves with.
how in the actual hell can russia not cut their enemies supply lines in their own damn country.
how the hell is it that after years of war, the ukranians still have a functioning infrastructure, roads, dams, power stations, bridges, etc?
after years, those in kiev are still going to bars and restaurants living it up.
given that the ukrainians claim to be fighting for the existence of their state, you might ask them why they’re still going to bars and restaurants living it up.
