Respect to the guy who was defending his flag

No matter where you're from or what shade of your skin, grab any flag and in the back of your mind you're probably already prepared to get touched up. He thought the suit changed the rules 😂😂😂

Wish he'd have gotten a better punch on the Russian that pulled down the Ukrainian flag. I'd have had the same reaction had it been the Stars and Stripes. Bring it....

[davek]

the world is laughing at Russia. I hope Russia enjoys their decades of shame and poverty

That drone attack was so fearsome that two people were waiting for it calmly on the roof of the Kremlin. They must have been awfully sure of where it would strike.

If the U.S. had anything to do with a drone like object heading tword the Kremlin, they would have hit their target. Not use a trajectory that completely misses the dome. The drone was clearly destroyed after it passed the top of that building. It doesnt look to me like any damage was ever intended. Either the operator really sucked at their job and missed their target, or it's a bogus claim. I think its bogus.

Wow homeboy went straight up Mike Tyson on him😂😂😂

Trying to get the Russian government to tell the truth, is like trying to use a garbage bag as a parachute.

[chectasy]

Glory to the very brave little Ukraine.

"don't go above the 2nd floor and stay away from windows"😂🤣

2023 : We are pulling out of Bakhmut.

2024 : We are pulling out of Moscow.

The failure is not in their effort. It's in their ability. This isn't for the lack of trying. It's for the lack of being able to.

[alvinhang]

The battle for Bakmut has been a great tragedy. Politics aside, thousands of young men from both sides have lost their lives. The Russian leaders have no regard for the lives of their men.

"That's no Moon... It's a Russian false flag operation" -Obi Wan

[auntiepha]

Ukraine announces a counter offensive and Wagner suddenly runs from Bakhmut like teenagers.
The bell tolls for thee Putin...

[Rickonytube]

US drones are far more advanced than that remote airplane toy just saying.

[HeyItsEmilyLove]

I bet those punches thrown over that flag felt better than any punch he’s ever thrown before

He is a chef. Being a military commander is quite hard and requires actual training and experience if you want to win. He is probably not even a very good chef, he spent his 20s in prison for robbery.
