Yes, the gullible Russian element posted it for a month or two but eventually quit using the fake story.

It looks like this bodyguard image might run here for a while now.

It’s highly concerning that articles about serious topics from supposedly serious media like Forbes are written as they came from valley girls.

Wow. With the business end of that tank pointing directly at the Russian staff in the building- I wonder if they get the not-to-subtle message of what this war is doing to their country?

Why is this article being posted? Ridiculous. We have enough hate press against the right on here to filter through. Did you even read the article before posting it?

There is perhaps some military operations going on but NO, it is not a war

Right, Putin calls it a 'special military operation".

Right-wingers normally don't operate in this way. Like the fake noose, this was more likely the work of left-wingers

Correct. Neocons are not Conservatives. They are the globalist faction of leftists.

Picture is from April 2022 Bucha. Lead and rear elements were ambushed and then the Russian column was destroyed by artillery.

Haha yea.

Russians in the Russian embassy have to worry about other Russians in the Russian embassy...

Russian diplomat found dead outside Berlin embassy

A Russian diplomat was found dead last month outside the country's embassy in the German capital, it has emerged.

The man's body was discovered on the pavement on 19 October by police guarding the Berlin compound, Der Spiegel website reported.

He had apparently fallen from an upper floor, but it was unclear how, it added.

Russia's embassy called the death of the diplomat - who has not been officially named - a "tragic accident".
