Seems the Russian military is pretty weak.

Putin has dementia. Pass it on.

Amusing propaganda. Might even be true, though I doubt it.

We had best not be counting an accusation of dementia or other personal slurs to have any significant effect. What are we going to do? Hurt Putin's feelings so he goes home?

No one knows who is really in charge [of the US Government], including the Russians.

This!

The American public certainly does not know who is in charge of the US Government. Spoiler: It is not Joe Biden.

Putin has spinal cancer and it’s metastasized and the chemo isn’t working and he’s raging from all the steroids he’s being given. And he’s freaking out about getting any germs and sitting at those ridiculously long tables because of it.

You’d think after the last 2 years people wouldn’t believe anything the media spews out.

I think you are right.
Putin is using siege tactics.
The US rushes in, breaks things, kills people; then pays piles of money to to rebuild all of the broke stuff and pay off the government.
Putin is looking to take the country intact:little broken infrastructure, fewer dead(meaning fewer zealots in-country against him, little cost in reparations.
This is a war of attrition; not shock and awe.
Russia cannot afford another Afghanistan(either on their border, or in the world’s eyes), certainly not monetarily.
We need to look at this through the eyes of history, not through the view of the US.

Putin has spinal cancer. You can send flowers to him if you want if it makes you sad.

Whichever way it plays out half of all Freepers are going to be wrong.

First time I have seen that report.

It is truly horrible if true. I would not wish such a fate on Vladimir Putin.

I do not want opponents to suffer. I want them gone.

"No trannies?"

Russia is too critically short of angry trannies to win a war.

Look at his face now. The experimental steroids are ravaging his brain. And it’s not Botox puffing his face. It’s the steroids.

This is just an issue of time that will quickly run short for the Ukrainians.....

The Russian Military will crush them.....Yep, The Russians made mistakes but they are now compensating and adding further armored divisions.....

Hope is not a strategy, and hope is all the Ukrainians have at this point.....

Time is on Ukraine’s side actually. Ukraine has 10,000 modern anti tank missiles enroute from German and Sweden alone. Let me spell that out in case you didn’t get it:

TEN THOUSAND ANTI TANK MISSILES

How many armored divisions do Putin’s invaders have? Putin has lost. His only choice now is how he loses.
