Let's all remember that The Stable Genius's initial assessment of Putin's invasion of Ukraine is that it was a "genius" move. Is that guy ever wrong about anything!?

[terrymoorer]

I will be suspicious of him going to Belarus because that's where they're holding those nuclear weapons

Hello.

Remember.
Russians like to play chess.



Good luck.

Putin is feeling the heat 🔥 in his seat. 🍳

So many lies in this propaganda piece. It’s painful to see how much people are being lied too when you actually know the truth

‪BREAKING: Elon Musk and Tesla group said to be moving in on Moscow, sources say. Musk’s group is heavily armed and gaining members as it closes in on Moscow.‬

Who cares what he did before, plenty of people get fed up and I give them credit where it's due.

It's need to helping Ukraine to fight against russian fascists

[jesuslovesyou]

Looks like the danger will now come from North Ukraine that people got distracted and confused about this.

[HilarityBribo]

Most are 'slava ukraine bots' ..  but How do you buy this propaganda after literally seeing the same propaganda days before Wagner captured Bakhmut ? 🤣

Vladimir Putin does not has the power to deny Yevgeny Prigozhin nor any of the Wagner Group soldiers their Russian CITIZENSHIP in this democracy.
Therefore, Vladimir Putin does not have exile powers.

Mr.Putin, s power & authority is completely humiliated. Morality, courage, discipline, willing to fight of Russian army
shaken. It is clear that Mr. Putin has lost his command and control. Ukraine now can use the opportunity. But this situation may encourage Mr. Putin to use B C. N weapons.

[terrymoorer]

In my opinion the whole thing was a ruse to catch Zelensyi off-guard

[arfifteen]

Putin moved nukes into Belarus some months ago. Now, Pregozhin is in there. Remember, his quarrel with Putin's generals is about not giving him enough munitions to end the war. Now, he has the nukes. This might be very bad for Ukraine.

This is a real example for diplomacy..Belarus president avoided blood shed and clinched peace deal.What one nation did cannot be done by 50Plus nations to Ukraine.All 50plua need blood shed and need revenge to russia.Ukraine people should come to reality and judge what their stand on diplomacy
