Putin condemnations are expected.
Knee-jerk reactions are expected from pundits, nationalists, etc. as well.
Conversely:
“Saturday’s Telegram howl and the hard truth about ourselves
Would have we won the Great Patriotic War in 1941-1945 if we had Telegram and mobile phones with video cameras? Very unlikely.
I just imagined minute-by-minute tantrums of anonymous authors like “The Red Army retreated from the village of Vinogradovo” or “Pavlov’s building was left without windows: did ours surrender?”. Dozens of photos would be attached to everything, of which: 5 archived, 3 photoshopped, and 2 stolen from somewhere.
While our soldiers do the real fighting, losing limbs and lives, someone is sitting and criticizing like “Kupyansk and Izyum surrendered! Cowards!”. Let me remind you that from 1941-1943 Red Army soldiers retreated from Kiev and Sevastopol, and motorcycles with Wehrmacht soldiers generally drove to the outskirts of Moscow. So what? And no one whined but went about their business: they made production rates of 1000%, getting a ration of 300 grams of bread. They were happy that they were helping the Motherland.
And now everyone imagines themselves as either a political expert or a military strategist, sitting with a smoothie or latte in cozy cafes in Moscow or Kherson.
Compatriots, the leadership of the country gave us the opportunity to restore historical justice without the hardships of 1941-1945. Everyone can professionally(!) write about the situation at the front, restore public services and health care, or establish the financial system in the liberated territories. Do it.
In short, alarmists, instead of whining in comments and posts, sign up as volunteers or come to work in the Kherson Joint Civil and Military Administration. In my social affairs department, be sure I’ll give that many challenges in your life that there will be no time to criticize and whine.
Thanks to the Russian soldier preserving the peaceful sky over the liberated territories, that allows me and the team to work calmly for the sake of the future!
— Ekaterina Gubareva, the vice-governor of Kherson oblast for social welfare affairs.”

So that’s your story now, Comrade Cranked, and you’re sticking to it?
The Soviets were defending their motherland during WW2.
The Russians are invading Ukraine. And they are poorly motivated in that. They have no reason for being there. So they will lose. The Russians got by on brute strength from cannon fodder alone for so long. That kind of warfare is not going to succeed in the 21st Century.
In short, alarmists, instead of whining in comments and posts, sign up as volunteers or come to work in the Kherson Joint Civil and Military Administration where your execution as a collaborator is assured.
I hope Ekaterina gets the Mussolini treatment when the Russian are forced out of Kherson.
Your daily propaganda from the Soviet side is expected, your support for the motherland is noted. (And ignored by most of us.)
Years ago you’d have been zotted, along with most of your fellow travelers.
You Putinists are really an extra special type of dumb. You went from “Ukrainians can make no gains, their offensives was already annihilated” to “Actually, the Ukrainians are such a threat they are comparable to our death struggle with Nazi Germany in WW2.”
Yawn...
Here is the real story and everyone knows it:
The Russian troops are in a victorious retreat as the Ukraine Army runs them down in panic.
Too bad, so sad.
Get used to it.
And tell your buddies thanks for the munitions they left for Ukraine to use.
I know you were contemplating speaking with your ольгинские тролли PSYOP boss, so you get some time off to jump the nearest "Draft Bus", or jump into the back of a police or OMAN vehicle so to get to the nearest draft tent, and to Crimea's warmer climate as it's so cold where you are, and so you could "bag & tag" some Ukie's.
Bummer I know.
Hey Kazan, it will be okay. I know the large low pressure system is past you now, so it should at least dry out a bit.
As well, I am sure the Russian hunting exhibition in Ukraine will continue for several more months. So you will have other opportunities.
About that threat that you had unleashed the "dogs" on me, and then sending me the beautiful music lyrics lettimg me know the end of my days was imminent, I was wondering if you might be a good Putinist Freeper and give me a "heads up" on when I can expect a visit from "the Cleaners", or "Mercader"?
I know we have had them in the US since at least the 1980's, and "assisting" certain US leftist politicians with pesky investigative types, so logistics shouldn't be too hard.
I am sure they are busy, but it would be nice to have at least a day or two notice.
Was also wondering how you keep such difficult 24/7 hours? I have a hard time staying awake for more than 3 days.
