And nobody should be surprised.

We’re gonna need more popcorn.

None of those have worked out very well for us.
Probably get rid of all of Hunter Biden’s buddies.

Bolsheviks did this in Ukraine in the 20’s, 30’s etc... until they had run out politicians, acedemics, intellectuals, etc...
Russia is sending the Biden/Davos national money laundering vehicle to the scrapheap.
Uh, that’s what Putin directly said is the purpose of the invasion so yes, that may be correct.
That sums up biden entire occupation.

>>And nobody should be surprised.
