Russia claimed to have captured Mariupol on Friday in what would be its biggest victory yet in its war with Ukraine, after a nearly three-month siege that reduced much of the strategic port city to a smoking ruin...

Russian Defense Minister Sergei Shoigu reported to President Vladimir Putin the “complete liberation” of the Azovstal steel plant in Mariupol...

...

As they surrendered, the troops were taken prisoner by the Russians, and at least some were taken to a former penal colony. Others were said to be hospitalized.

Russia said the Azov commander was taken away from the plant in an armored vehicle.

“The biggest problem with Putin is that he was too cautious.”

Not bloody enough for your tastes?

Not enough gore and dismemberment for your entertainment?

We should put Putin on trial for the crimes committed by the Soviet Union and the KGB.
———-
We should put Zelensky on trial for the crimes committed by the Azov battalions against the Ethnic Russian provinces.

There are videos all over of these guys talking about how Zelensky wanted them to fight to the death.

Zelensky, the television actor who prances around in women's shoes, wanted them to die for his crime syndicate.

George Soros, Klaus Schwab, Jao Bai-din, Hunter Biden, Paul Pelosi, John Kerry Jr., Christopher Heinz (Kerry), and Alex Vindman, certainly wouldn't care if any of the fighters died protecting the syndicate.

Even before the the Ukraine conflict, the young in Ukraine wanted the country to join the European Union, not to benefit Ukraine but so that they could obtain their EU work cards and get out.

I don't see many sane Americans who'd risk ammo, much less their lives, defending Portland Oregon or Los Angeles.

It is so funny that the Chechens had to remove their commander “Radish” out of town in the armored vehicle because the angry mob of locals with a rope assembled by the plant.
Someone was spreading rumors that there is a deal to hand him to Zelensky in exchange for POWs, and the people decided to hang the Nazi right there.
So much for the “heroic Azov defenders”.

The mainstream media is going oddly quiet on Ukraine which means that their propaganda is too far from the truth to be believable.

Pyrrhic victory: the Orc 810th Naval Infantry Brigade, the 150th Division, and the 24 special forces Brigade took such heavy losses they are no longer usable on the front lines.

“Where’s Putin?”

What could the capture of Mariupol and 2400 POWs have to do with Putin?

You sound obsessed.

“Where’s Putin” is the last stand of the NeoCons who realize they have lost yet another war.

Haven't seen Zelensky since his appearance with Mitch McConnell. Did he leave town with Mitch?

Where are the congregations from the churches of Worship George Soros and Joe Biden? I scrolled to 35 posts and not one post from the preachers, song leaders, deacons, amen corner, charter members, ushers or visitors.

They quit showing up when the bad news is from a Western Media Propaganda source (like AP, here), and their Uke GloboHomoNazi Propaganda sources are just too stupid for anyone to believe.

Then they usually fall back on "Putin is dying of Cancer" (Fill In Blank), or something else.

Then they get on their knees and Pray To Soros to make it come true.

No objectivity, sometimes in lethal combat your side does not prevail.

I don’t know what media you’re talking about. My local news opens up every night with the latest from Ukraine.
