Putin: we must now do special military operation in Finland; they admit they have a Nazi there
I will never understand the idiocy required to wanna be a nazi. Fuck them, kill em all.
Send him to Nürnberg. They know what to do with Nazis there.
Neonazis arent the brightest people.
Rusich has to be the absolute worst that Russia has unleashed on Ukraine. By far. I’d say “google” but my advice is, don’t. You don’t want those pictures in your memory.
Yes, Finland!! 🇫🇮
My brother emigrated around 15-16 years ago, lives between Helsinki & cabin outside of Salo.
Love the country and the slightly mad people!
Fuck russia, fuck putin.
Maybe he’ll shoot himself in the head like his hero
But wait I thought it was Ukraine that was full of Nazis /s

I thought the said the nazis were in the Ukraine, I didn’t know they meant the nazis were invading the Ukraine…. I’m kidding, this has always been the case but they would have us believe that the entire population of the Ukraine is “deserving” I hope this ends in a Nuremberg style trial and all of the invaders have to stand for the crimes committed against humanity. 🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦
This POS should be hanged.
Got him!
Too bad they don’t still do to war criminals what they did to the Nazis.
I would fly there to watch.
They should give him to ukraine imo
The warcrimes are still fresh
I know I’m an asshole for asking this but….anyone know where I can get his sweater? It’s fantastic. (That writing on it better not say anything racist)
