No wonder the US is fading. ?With a woman as head of the army?
Stupid war. We have no dog in this hunt.
Whenever I see dictator Kim Jong Un, I can't help but to see him like naked Chow of The Hangover movie. 😂Kim Jong Un naked, with a tiny pubic nipple between his legs.
Half of the North Korean ammunition either failed to hit its target or blows up when fired. With the poor quality controls in manufacturing, their 122 mm artillery shell is not balanced and after a shooting a few rounds the Russian artillery barrels blows up. The missile circuitry is poorly made and often causes shorts and blowing up the missile when fired.
🤠
And the Biden regime received their percentage
Glad too see neighbors being neighborly.🇺🇸✌🏻🍻
This is how desperate Putin is
This is why we don't need a dictator insurrectionist like trump in office
I wonder what price comparison is.
What ever happened to peace, shouldn't Biden be the peace maker. Maybe a simple conversation yeah it's going to be uncomfortable but that's his/JOB..
Russia finally hit the bottom 😂😂😂. NK is the last place for worse military supplies
I never Realized how short Putin was until I saw him standing next to KIM-ILL-WIND
Oh no hes getting help from a fat baby faced spoiled dictator.
More than 1000 Russian soldiers are put out of commission every day (killed, wounded or surrendered). And Ukraine hasn't even gotten the F-16s yet. Putin is desperate.
