Did he say War? I thought it was a special military operation?

It’s clear that Putin is missing more than a few screws in that head

Pretty typical bully stuff . Walk around punching innocents and when one punches back all of the sudden he's a victim .

I wonder how Russia can possibly look worse and then this happens.😂😂😂

Russian "Gaslighting". Psychologists use the term “gaslighting” to refer to a specific type of manipulation where the manipulator is trying to get someone else (or a group of people) to question their own reality, memory or perceptions.

Nobody has told him that this is a special military 🪖 operation?

[MrGMT]

Its a little scary the amount of legit children as high ranking members of his armed forces. Wild.

Even the translator couldn't keep totally serious because of the irony 😅

When NBC is airing this with honest interpretation you know things are getting better.

Wow, this is definitely the second army parade of the world? One museum tank😂😂

Russia 🇷🇺 was peaceful. He started the war against his own people by sending them with no training to the front lines.

[evgeniybastrykov]

Putin showed the deplorable state of the Russian army, Russia has nothing more to show at the parade, this year military aviation did not even take part in the parade in Moscow, apparently after the incidents with the fall of fighters Russians decided not to use it

[Matthew_Loutner]

Well . . . 🤷‍♂️
He finally figured out that it is a war. 🤷‍♀️

[Mrleahey]

His explanation for a real war was people are talking smack on Russia basically 😂 Grow up, people are allowed opinions, you’ll know when were waging war.

[Christwitchpeace]

Ok so wait, he attacks Ukraine and he says he has no enemies?! Wow he’s the reincarnation of Hitler not Fisher.

[Unknown_tomb]

Putin is going to be sending his WW2 veterans into the Frontlines because he doesn't have enough men lol

[melidareichert]

It's concerning that the only equipment shown at the parade was a T-34 tank from World War II, as it suggests that Russia may not be investing in modern military technology

He’s not wrong. It could’ve been avoided if Biden and NATO stayed out of Ukraine
