Yah, another laugh fest from the followers of Goebbels. Just like the latest from Hamas — “there are not pictures of Jewish citizens being killed. That never happened.”

This just another delusional fantasy, Marcus.

You and your sources claimed: Putin was dead and Russia was using a body double in his place. That Putin was dying from blood, stomach and thyroid cancer...two years ago.

That Russia was running out of missiles and ammo...two years ago.

That Western sanctions would destroy the Russian economy. Two years later, Russia's economy is growing faster than our economy and almost every other Western economy.

Lies, lies and more lies. That's all you've got.

Meanwhile, Ukraine is disintegrating on the battlefield:

3rd Battle of Urozhaine | RUAF Concentrates Over 35 Thousand Troops Near Kharkiv

So Close. Ukrainian Units Barely Escaped The Encirclement. Russia’s Multiple Advances.

The large majority of aid can be classified as economic or military. Humanitarian aid falls under economic objectives, as defined by the source. Military aid includes training, equipment and weapons but may not include some Department of Defense funding such as missiles or other classified spending. Negative values reflect instances when the State Dept’s USAID agency cancels or makes a downward adjustment of grants or contracts. Dollars are adjusted to match constant 2022 inflation.

Putin blew up his best general! Lol! Now he’s begging the remnants of Wagner to bail him out. Too funny!

From “Kyiv in 3 days!” to “Chasiv Yar by Victory Day!” What happened?

Good news, everyone! No Azov guy assault brigades have mutinied since yesterday!

On the flip side, the day is not over on the Eastern Front.

Putin promised he’d conquer Kiev in 3 days back in 2022. What happened?

I heard that Polish brigadier general Adam "Raspberry Placki" Marczak had only six seconds of warning before his promotion to placki in Chasov Yar.

Putin blowing up his best general Prigozhin was dumb.

Tell Russia to send “General 200” Syrskyi’s new crop of massacred Ukrainians back from Belgorod, so their wives and mothers can bury the pieces.

“Putin promised he'd conquer Kyiv in 3 days back in 2022.”

Please provide a reputable source link to backup your claim.

Pretty sure that was Will "The Putin" Stewart from The Daily Fail that wrote that bit of MI-6 horseplop for marcusclimaximus here.
