Vladimir Putin has been branded a "psychopath" as he was seen in a video asking Russian soldiers who have lost their legs in the war with Ukraine whether they are "used to their new condition".
-snip-
In the footage, Putin is all smiles among the amputee soldiers, even asking one, "Are you used to your new condition? " The soldier responds affirmatively, answering "Yes sir, already new victories, achievements."
In the chilling footage another mentions how some have been adapting for two years, still chasing victories and new goals. Putin nods approvingly, saying, "That's a very good thing. It's very good that you have ambitions."
He goes on to praise their spirit saying: "You went into the combat zone with ambitions because there is nothing to do there without ambitions.", reports the Express US. "You need mettle and you have it. Despite such severe injuries, you still have all your ambitions."
"So everything will be good, everything will be fine."

Seems ok to me. But then again, our country is filled with endless sappy celebrations of victimhood, tears, and emotion.
If they take good care of their veterans, talking to them like adults is the right way.
Too many here treat amputees more like children for some odd reason.
“Are you used to your new condition?”
How is this not just, “Have you acclimated okay to the changes in your life?”
I don’t see the issue, here. I have no idea what is being lost in the translation or what might be cultural norms there to complain.
Marcusmaximus, I don’t think you do, either.
Putin was grinning from ear to ear.
I just watched the video. Putin was encouraging and proud of his men and that their handicaps did not bring them down.
This is a complete non-issue.
Very likely all will be sent back to the front.
Wow I kinda wish this one was true. I wanna like Godzilla. :)
Russians aren’t known for their desire to express emotions. The gynocentric west fueled by women and always believing womens way is the right way, views this as wrong or cold, they don’t understand stoicism. Especially in men. They love it and hate it and don’t know why.
Although the words aren’t very comforting or profound, and they really lost their lives/limbs for nothing. Legacy building for Putins Folly.
The whole area over there is a mess.
Mucus is completely devoid of empathy with his constant, paid troll-farm, deep-state propaganda spamming.
Of course, he is a total psychopath.
ZEEPER FOLLIES PINGLIST!
(((PING!)))
... to be added to the best Zeeper-provided entertainment since Paul Shanklin parodies, ping me bro.
He is a KGB commie.

I watch a YouTube Channel that features Russian veterans along with non-veterans who go to known Russian WWII occupied areas in forests, swamps, etc., to find fallen German, Russian, Polish, etc. soldiers and pilots. They try to find identification for these men, then repatriate those from other countries, and give their own men decent military burials.
Well stated. I think people here were looking for a Bill Clinton “I feel your pain” moment.
A lot of the world doesn’t run quite that way.
Respect for veterans is a huge cultural thing there. There really is no such thing as a Russian family that didn’t lose someone in the war. It’s not like our thing, where our country loves vets most when they can be shown as weak, suicidal, and victims.
ZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ
Putin is smiling like a goofball.
