Putin: I want the truth!!

Commanders: You can't handle the truth!!

Sadly Putins popularity rating in Russia has reached 89%.
Mind you if they asked me if I supported him I guess I would reply yes, or fear being dragged off to a labour camp 😢

"They are using intelligence as a weapon"
Well, that's the one weapon Russia apparently forgot onroad to Ukraine. They also didn't stock up much on basic competence either.

One would think Putin has a laptop of his own. But is it allowed to run Google?

I don't believe Pootin is mislead. He knows exactly what has been going on, he is mad as hell, it's not been a walk over

The five stages of grief are:
1) Denial
2) Anger
3) Bargaining
4) Depression
5) Paying in rubles

If he's Misled then he's still accidentally killed thousands in a bloody horrific death.

Feel bad for the the person who eventually has to inform Putin. “Putin, we have to talk, your 150K troops are gone.”

Someone needs to mislead him to a dark room

Why can this man not let people live in peace.

Give Putin nothing but take from him everything.

Just a reminder: One hundred and ninety-three House Republicans voted against capping the price of insulin at $35 a month.

I hope his general’s tell him only what he wants to hear! Please don’t change lol.

[ropersix]

He's not being misled. He delights in hearing about all the rapes and civilian executions going on.

[jamesraj]

Unfortunate we can't hear other side story

[stanfarshtei]

Did you see what happened in Kiev's Bucha? Have you seen those civilians being tortured and killed plain on the streets? WHY USA won't provide Ukraine with the weapons they need to stop Russian cruelties?

[lofnouk]

If there is one ounce of justice in the world, this butcher and his dogs will end up answering for their atrocities in The Hague. Then they can pay crippling reparations to rebuild Ukraine.

Thats how authoritarian systems work. No trust from top to bottom nor bottom to top. This causes lack of communication and lack of improvisation mentality.

[synicyst]

Putin comes across as strangely incompetent.
