Putin ignores German tank decision, dispenses career advice on Moscow University visit

Russian President Vladimir Putin avoided commenting on Germany's landmark decision on Wednesday to supply tanks to Ukraine during a visit to Moscow State University, instead dispensing career advice to students and fielding questions on other topics.

Putin, a fluent German speaker who served in the former East Germany as a KGB officer, spent more than an hour responding to students' questions on issues ranging from lost dogs to quantum technology, though the war in Ukraine also kept cropping up indirectly.

Putin took a swipe at Western countries by suggesting some were using the Ukraine war as an excuse to "cancel" Russian culture...but said Russians would continue to enjoy Beethoven and Bach.

"We are part of world culture," he said.

In his remarks, Putin made only an indirect allusion to current international tensions, commenting that Germany "strictly speaking" remained under U.S. military occupation - a reference to allied troops stationed in the NATO country.

"Much of what is happening (now) has deep roots... Sovereignty will be returned to Europe, but it seems this will take time," he added.

Landmark??? The Germans did the same thing in 1941. It will end the same way this time too!

That’s the best COPIUM your fake bot accounts can produce when Putin, with his “red lines,” responding to us crossing them by... being absolutely silent.

So much for WW3 and “escalation.”

Don’t be late for drag queen story hour at the Marine base, or today’s meeting of the transgendered officer corp. You know in good ol’ lard-assed, drug-addicted, uniparty, woke Amerika. All the rainbow flags and sex change mutations are in the USA, not Russia. Jerk.

But you clowns still pretend you're the "Pro-American" movement. Your views are indistinguishable from the Muscovites, Iranians, Taliban, etc.

What America? My America died a long time ago, murdered by evil communists who infiltrated the institutions, the media and the schools. And by moron useful idiots like the contemptible likes of you. Now go join a BLK riot and drool about inclusion.

The parallels between Ukraine and WW2 Nazis are spilling out more frequently, Hilter ( Zelensky) issuing hold at all cost orders, outlawing free speech, shutting down Churches, drafting 18-60 year olds,…. Problems on the Eastern front….and now Ivan’s will be busy destroying German tanks…. Yes Johnny, history does repeat.

Ukraine 1991-2023 RIP the quicker the better.

There are millions of patriotic Americans in the USA today. Millions of good people who have done nothing wrong, who live perfectly normal lives, who love their country, neighbors, way of life, etc. Huge numbers of the population attend church weekly and vote like they believe in their religion, whereas in Russia barely 7% of the population can be depended upon to attend church once a month. Norway has higher religiousity than the Russia of today. Meanwhile, Russia is corrupt at every level of society, with millions of people lacking basic things like toilets due to huge amounts of corruption and decay. The "morality" of the nation is that of the gulag where it's OK to rape a man if you feel like, as often happens at epidemic levels in the Russian military.

Meanwhile, you've become an anti-American maggot because Joe Biden is the President.

Millions of what? Besides your empty virtue-signaling BS, I don’t quite see them. Did they fight against the deposing of an elected president? Or against the rigging of most elections? Did they demand and get the freeing of those few who did try to fight back on Jan. 6th? Your’patriotic’is pretty limp. Your pretty little Rah Rah is baloney as well...all talk, no meat. IN Russia they build churches, don’t forcibly close them (like here, covid scam).
Odd you haven’t disproved my statements about drag queen story hours in the usa from grade school to the officer corp. Or about the mutilation of children on the altar of gayness.
Corruption??? You really wanna bring that up with Joe Biden and son, with knee-pads Harris, with Pelosi and the rest in the capitol for going on 50 years a piece?
What a fun coincidence: HALF of the members of congress are millionaires! So glad they aren’t bad like your foxNewsCNN Ruskies.
Cough up answers and statistics or go away. Nobody this stupid can be paid - they’d want a bit more for the 2 bits. A gold standard Vladimir Lenin useful idiot.
