What Kurakhovo doink?
Russian soldiers going into battle are given a crucifix.
US soldiers going into battle are given.....
Is this the best you’ve got today? The crosses aren’t a bad idea in themselves but putting Putin’s initials on them is probably not the best move. That being said, the front keeps moving west.
Maybe marcus toned it down in honor of Eastern Orthodox Christmas. :)
Autographed crosses for Putin’s muslim cannon fodder. lol!
Does Putin’s Muslim wife get a cross, too?
Christmas is December 25th.
And Putin’s Muslim kids?
You sound unhinged. Maybe you need a new hobby buddy.
Orthodox celebrate it today.
Eisenhower gave a letter to every soldier on D-Day. Challenge Coins are very popular nowadays. I don’t see this as much different.
It’s hilarious to see the low IQ crowd just eat up this phony symbolism. There is simply nothing remotely Christan about Putin’s genocidal mafia regime. The past twenty years have shown us that any who oppose it are killed. Anything that can’t be stolen is destroyed.

Two weeks of Biden-Harris administration still to go. Two more weeks of Blinken "saying" and "saying." "How's Kursk doink?" Well, the latest in the media isn't as rosy as the last few months of media coverage. And two more weeks.... Tick tock.

" Or one can be skeptical and await corroboration. Surely seems like salvos of propaganda are being exchanged, from all the participants (which is far more than two).

Hitler was a narcissist, too. It got progressively worse as the Wehrmacht was being crushed by the Allies.
