  1. Lunacy objective. That's really interesting. The Economist: "Russia’s double-punch back against Ukraine’s shock raid. It is bombing Ukrainians in Kursk and advancing in Pokrovsk." What could possibly go wrong? It's obvious that capturing at such a staggering cost a string of villages in the middle of nowhere that can't be held makes zero military sense. Doing that when a vital logistic hub of your army like Pokrovsk is about to fall is making Zelenskyy the top candidate for Darwin Award in this century. Zelenskyy Kursk misadventure already failed spectacularly, but due to his obsession with media hype he is simply incapable even to cut snowballing losses and as always he is just reinforcing the failure. It's the same nutty pattern as was with Bakhmut, Krinky or a publicly announced failed Zelenskyy offensive in 2023 . Zelenskyy is the gift that keeps on giving to the Russians advised by even nuttier DC gifts.

  2. What kind ally you are when you tell not to use western weapons inside Russia. Americans really think is some kind of game. No one attack against Russian allies like Belarus but American allies always get attacked while Americans play their games

  3. The Zelensky-Poroshenko regime is criminal. I will prove it to be true about the coup d'état on February 22, 2014.
    ☑We, Ukrainians, are being forced to war for "territorial integrity", those who staged a coup d'état in Ukraine on February 22, 2014, overthrew President Yanukovych, but did so by circumventing the Constitution of Ukraine. They ignored Article 111 of the Constitution (impeachment), which would allow Ukraine to preserve its statehood and territorial integrity.
    ☑I will remind you. <Coup d'état – a violent and unconstitutional change of power in the state as a result of a secret conspiracy. A coup d'état is, as a rule, a change in power from one faction of the ruling elite to another.>
    ☑The fact of a coup d'état in Ukraine is the anti-constitutional law passed by the Parliament of Ukraine on depriving the popularly elected president of his powers.
    ☑On February 22, 2014, the end of Ukraine and the beginning of the DPR, LPR, Crimea, and the rest of the territories, the Kyiv regime is trying to keep under the control of deception, criminally calling itself "Ukraine".
    🔷Covering up the false legitimization of the Zelenskyi and Poroshenko regimes is a crime against democracy and the rule of law, a world-class deception that leads to endless war and the genocide of the Ukrainian population.
    🔷All elections after the coup d'état on February 22, 2014 were held in violation of the Constitution of Ukraine. The elections of presidents Poroshenko and Zelenskyi, elections to the Parliament were held bypassing the Constitution and laws of Ukraine.
    ⚜🔱The heads of the Kyiv regimes, Zelenskyi and Poroshenko, must answer in an international court for concealing the existence of a coup d'état on February 22, 2014, which led to the extermination of the Ukrainian people at the expense of the world community.

  4. Note the similarities between the comedian's strategy in Kursk and Hamas' (and Hitler's) strategy: in both cases the main objective is to capture as many hostages as possible (mainly civilians) and then use them for blackmail. The Comedian once again resorts to terrorist measures.

  5. Did he ban Christians? Then we can't help him as Christians under God here. He should have said this in the beginning, now he has to pay us back.

  6. Let's clarify the situation, you condemn Russia for the invasion, but you yourself are doing the same thing that Russia did, they invaded. If you are doing the same thing, then why are you condemning Russia?
