  1. This is brilliant PR, a transparent low cost demonstration to the Russian people about who is the real enemy in this “Ukranian” war.

    Sadly the west is too schackled to the addiction of having things go their way to know when to stop, at the risk of nuclear conflict.

    Next the Russians will have to present captured NATO troops from the US, France, Germany and the UK in cages for the public and the world to see. The children can laugh at the crossdressing ones.

  3. Can’t read or be bothered about this. Ukraine and Russia? Oh that’s so 2022.

    Gotta pay full attention to Donald Trump on trial. It’s really important for our national security and our democracy that we ignore everything else in the world and focus on this trial. Well, ok, let me change that to Trump and all the rampant antisemitism that’s more widespread than Covid was in 2020-2921 cause the news says so, and they wouldn’t deceive us, and to say they would is more evil than being a home-schooler.

    Former porn stars being paid off. Trump ignoring judges warnings and saying mean things on social media. Fearless President Biden and very important Hollywood celebrities warning us he must never be president again. We must listen to them! Trump’s Raaaaacissssmmm!!!! Sexism! Homophoooobbiiiaaa!!! Oh the inhumanity. I just can’t be bothered by anything else now except this.

    O.K., thanks for hearing me out. Gotta run now and get back to CNN, MSNBC and FoxNews which are all running on my 3 teevees.

    1. Trump is a murderer. His Warp Speed vaccine and the damage the vaccine is causing worldwide is bigger than any story in the entire world.

    2. I’ll just mention that these people make things then release a pre-planned solution to engineer the next phase of their agenda. Do not trust any saviors, especially if they could have been easily assassinated like JFK if they were a threat.
