They should have a parade in the liberated towns, to celebrate!

That is, if anyone's left in town to watch a parade...

What irony! My whole life Russia was the enemy, gobbling up smaller countries and tyrannizing them. Now they are one of the few nations willing to go all out against the greatest tyranny of all. God bless Russia. Keep up the good work. Here’s hoping we get to join them in the fight after the 2016 election.
