Yes, but if they’re all complaining about Poopin, it has to be organized...

Wait for it..., wait for it..., wait for it...

A whole Russian tank battalion defected? Hard to believe. But, if so, that is a huge embarrassment for Putin.

Not enough vacation time.

Doesn’t say a battalion defected, just a “unit”.
The battalion mentioned is a Ukrainian one, reporting this on its website. Could be propaganda.
Interesting that these Ukrainian units all seem to have independent websites.

It is a Facebook posting at this moment, I think we need a little more verification of a tank battalion defecting.

In light of the activities of the Russian government, they’ll be much cooler and safer outside of Russia in the near future.

After such a piece I don’t know how the Kiev media has a nerve to call their Russian counterpart propaganda.
Is it the same battalion which got destroyed lately, featuring Ukrainian armor and ‘Russian’ HUMVEEs or another one?

[ansel12]

Yeah, I’m not buying this story.

You can stop clutching your pearls so tightly. Propaganda cuts both ways.

~Propaganda cuts both ways.~

You say it as I was somehow disagree.

[1rudeboy]

Yes, I say it as you somehow disagree.

[wetphoenix]

You aren’t right. I can clearly see that reports from both sides contradicts pieces of info I can get from another sources, which I can trust for sure.

I’d like a posting on Pinterest.

I've annotated your graph with the chronology of some Russian Federation policies, which I'm sure have no bearing on the "favorability" of Pooty-poot, aka The Shirtless Wonder®.

Lol. That updated chart made my evening. Thank you.

Anything from ZikTV can be readily dismissed. Ukraine propaganda outlet.

“Anything from ZikTV can be readily dismissed. Ukraine propaganda outlet.”

No, it is the pro-Putin and pro-criminal Russians like yourself who “can be readily dismissed...[as a false] propaganda outlet.”

Story does not say a batallion defected, just a unit which could be a company, or a platoon unit as well.
