Butter and eggs! Putin is dying again!

Just a few short months before Trump ends the war in Ukraine by cutting off money for it.

Then, what are you planning on posting? Or will you be one of those within Deep State that Trump fires?

I guess this answers the question about “guns vs. butter” we had in Econ 101.

You are a sad little communist agitator. You probably wept on election night when Trump won and your Ukraine War became more likely than ever to end.

Your Putin had a hissy meltdown after President Trump warned him not to escalate the war.

COSTCO has some extra they can send. The Russian government wouldn’t worry about people with milk allergies eating butter because they didn’t know butter is milk.

The scarcity of butter in the war zone will definitely hinder Zelensky's ability to scoot at Ukraine "Government" meetings!

Gotta scratch that itch!

Meanwhile, butter here is being recalled because the label didn’t say “contains milk”.
