99.9% has been cleared. There are less than a 1000 Azov neo-Nazis trapped in the steel mill. The Russians are just waiting for them to come out.

And, the equates to the Russians losing in Mariupol? This kind of spin reeks of desperation.

Putin us seriously sick and the grim reaper is at the door. Who would have thought that Creepy Joe will outlast him.

That look on his face says it all. Inside he knows it’s game over for him. Instead of having a legacy as restoring the greatness of the motherland he instead will be forever remembered as the GREATEST DESTROYER OF RUSSIA IN MODERN HISTORY.

Comparing this photo with the one in comment 18, here his jaw and hands seem to be clenched in pain. In 18, he just seems exhausted, perhaps after a wave of pain has passed. Regarding Mariupol’s big factory. I believe I mentioned earlier that he probably would not destroy this factory because it could be useful for Russia if Putin succeeds in his big grab. He does not care about the rest of the city which is pretty much flattened. What he does care about is the gas and oil under the territory he hopes to gain, the heck with people or buildings. But the factory may be useful. Please REMEMBER, this war is all about the oil in the areas Putin has now concentrated his forces against.

His legs look like toothpicks and his skin tone is very
pale. Looks in pain to me. Heck, even Brandon looks more
robust.

Actually at the beginning of Covid, my local Harris Teeter had a lot of empty shelf space, including toilet paper and alcohol (hand cleaning). I got the last 2 bottles. I wanted to load up on pasta, but most of it was gone. Fortunately, there was still whole grain pasta on the shelves which is what I preferred. We will NOT starve, but may have some limited choices, which are caused by supply chain problems which are not particularly caused by the government, which fortunately unlike in Russia does not try to micro manage the economy of products.

He’s probably holding the table so his hand doesn’t visibly shake. Also helps to steady his upper body.

The only desperation is coming from despicable PUtler fanboi scumbags.

RuSSia’s nazi-like soldiers might prevail in Mariupol temporarily.

As they have done so far, Ukrainians will eventually drive the invaders out when they really go to town on them.

The alcohol was on the pharmaceutical shelves, not the liquor shelves. I rarely drink except one glass of wine at celebrations like birthdays, Thanksgiving, etc.

they have gone to some effort for years to not show him like this. if they did it now, it wasn’t a pr decision per se, there was an overriding imperative that made it either desirable or necessary.

no idea which, though I am sure we will have a dozen experts on both sides of the issue making blanket statements of ‘fact’ on this shortly.

what I am saying is they haven’t handled his health like we have handled biden, who is now getting bossed around on camera by the easter bunny and routinely forgets basic information about current events.

The Russians may be a lot of things but they certainly are not Nazis. They are the ones hunting Nazis.

The Azov battalion is evil personified. There is a long list of articles exposing their actual Nazi beliefs. Ukrainian nationalism is largely rooted in Nazism as proven by the fact their streets named after Nazi collaborator Stepan Bandera.

I've seen multiple videos of civilians in Mariupol and elsewhere saying that the Azovs are using civilians as human shields and have seen them shoot civilians that tried to escape.

You're being lied by the same Biden regime and media that lie about everything else.

God knows the truth, though. The Azovs are wicked bastards. One of them on Twitter even bragged about allegedly killing American YouTuber Gonzalo Lira.
