my anal warts need mulatto attention
awesome footage. southfront better put their watermark on it, the bbc will want to use it on their front page to show the truth about trench warfare. all those lazy ukranians laying about sleeping on the job, totally unprofessional.
no doubt that those who died in those trenches were conscripts with stories similar to those we saw in earlier report of uke troops who surrendered. time for the uke troops to rebel and eliminate their own leaders, political and military!
non si arrenderanno.. cervello lavato durante l’addestramento e gruppi di punitori nazisti alle spalle. unica opzione arrendersi dopo aver subito un assalto; quelli che sono rimasti.
yes, they were all human beings that probably died terrified deaths, fighting so that a bunch of women in the west could sound virtuous and welcome immigrants and be caring. all people that support the war should be forced to watch stuff like that and carry their burden properly, instead of hising behind lies and msm mind control. maybe russians could try psyops, leaflet drops with surrender instructions?
who’s censoring the shit out of comments today?
