“As long as we have men like you, we are absolutely, absolutely invincible,” Putin told soldiers at the Russian Special Forces University, a training school in Chechnya’s Gudermes, according to a transcript on the Kremlin’s website.

“It is one thing to shoot at a shooting range here, and another thing to put your life and health at risk. But you have an inner need to defend the Fatherland and the courage to make such a decision.”

You mean he’s not in Kursk trying to keep his troops from deserting en masse?

Russia is by far the least Christian country I have visited in Europe. The cognitive dissonance of the “Christian Russia” fan club is bordering on mental retardation. ROFLMAO.

Putin is hiding from the Moscow Moms who are howling over their missing conscript sons who disappeared 3 weeks ago.

Here, it happens to be true. The enemy of our enemy (Russia) is really not our enemy at all — and is far preferable to our actual enemy (the Biden regime).

How are things in Xhicago with the Brandon War gang? You and Cookies Nuland hook up yet? Nice of your handlers to give these intelligence photos to you to propaganda here at FR. You are the best Zelenskyy propagandist here. Truth!

Could be fake. Russians call it the Motherland - Mother Russia.

Interesting; I’ve only ever heard the Russians use Motherland.

“The personification of Russia is traditionally feminine and most commonly maternal since medieval times.”

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Personification_of_Russia

The Fatherland Day seems more focused on the military, not nearly as broad as the Motherland usage.
