if at first stupid doesn’t succeed then just do something stupider. this is the way of the collective west, collective insanity is the norm.
russia screwed it up again, good luck to fight against fortified positions during the winter. what ukies grabbed in les then week will need more then year to retake back. if you count the factor of long range attacks on moscow and other big cities which were already approved by eu and 300bln usd from frozen russian assets to be spent on ukraine military equipment, i can’t rule more kursk like offensives, including belarus.
i think you can.
as a retired amerikan mulatto fry cook i enjoy sodomy by taliban for 20 years
strategically this front has no use for afu, because no russian troops were taken away from donbass but it just became a meaningless pr offensive. kindly send more fresh troops and equipment so they are not available anymore for the final battle in the streets of kiev😉🫶
and meanwhile back at the torture palace – “israel said planning massive retaliation, likely targets include oil & gas rigs, nuclear sites”….
if ever there was a time around the globe for massive retaliation to the leadership in the west who made all of this possible by their silent taxpaying pleb/sheep citizenry in finding their inner “woke” to the most dangerous crisis to the world before it’s too late! “now”!… would be that time!!!….
massive retaliation to the leadership? wat dat is?
it appears that the ukie’s are facing total defeat.
god bless russia , the savior of the freeworld.
kiev would have been in vladivostok by now if only tough guys like ramses, gneaus stapo, the crocus village idiot, or jens holm would have joined the actual fight.
but instead they hide in mothers basement. no wonder the nato-backed eurotards from the kiev putsch-regime simply cannot complete the simple task.
if only those real men where there!
taliban have been in my amerikan ghetto sodomizing old mulattos like me for 20 years
but after so many losses, why there is still a war?
because the us has been unsuccessful in breaking up the russian state.
gotta keep stuff moving out the door, got a business to run
in my amerikan ghetto no fathers only my dead mulatto mother–now i retired fry cook in lgbt trailer park
