Russian President Vladimir Putin ordered a major buildup of his country’s military forces Thursday in an apparent effort to replenish troops that have suffered heavy losses in six months of bloody warfare and prepare for a long, grinding fight ahead in Ukraine.

Zelensky.
Nonsense.
You keep blaming the wrong person instead of the individual responsible, Booboo.
Say it with me: Zelensky.
“Did you notice that the HIMARS terror weapons seem to have disappeared this week?”
Another Russian ammo dump blowing up last night outside of Kerson (Chernobaivka), the Antonivsky Bridge was hit again yesterday, and the nearby area of Inzhynerne.
Also, the barracks of some Russian Airborne troops in Kadiivka, Luhansk Oblast was struck last night. Reportedly, a lot of VDV troops were packed into the hotel they were occupying there, when the HIMARS struck. Mass casualties.
Putin is a GAY clown.
He is also a sociopathic serial killer, and mass murderer.
“Aye, Comrade DJ, all those photos of naked ladies on your profile suggests that you might be a voyeuristic pervert.”

Some of the Wimpiest "logic" and "reasoning" I've ever seen on Free Republic.
Of course, you drank the CDC koolaid on the quaxxccines, so I guess that's to be expected.
When are you going to startup your 2022-23 Series on the FauciFlu?

Simply a junior bot attempting to move up to assistant troll.
Most burnout before getting that far.
Sure.
Do you ever hold Zelensky responsible for his crimes ?
How the actions of the US for setting up the certainty of Russia’s sure reaction escapes the preponderance of evidence in a Russian Tribunal, I am sure I don’t know. Especially the bio-lab configuration, in UKR, funded by the Department of Defense.
Few Americans heard Putin’s lengthy speech just prior to the UKR incursion.
