"I DONT NEED AMMO I NEED A RIDE!!! HURRY!!!" - Vladimir Putin

[Sookie]

He drank a bucket full of vodka with his poker face

[hokeypokeypots]

Surovikin wasn't drunk. He was just trying real hard not to laugh. 🤣🤣

[paradoxworkshop]

Turns out he was a "high" ranking general😊

Mercernaries and concubines have thee most understated, unrecognized, impact on history, since the beginning of time!

[Winstonrodney]

Strange things are happening over there and it seems like we don’t have a clear idea of what is going on.

[miarrem]

The "still life" behind the reporter is hilarious

[danforster]

Don't feel sorry for the General Surovikin also known as "The Butcher of Syria"

Surovikin joins Prigozhin as dead man walking.

Let the sharks eat each other. If you elect me, the Vodka will flow freely into every household via plumbing. Now that's a drunken statement. 🙃

[FIatIined]

Now, that general needs to be careful whenever he opens a can of soda or beer. You'll never know what's in the can.

[rogerout]

Aren't they always drunk? They're Russians??

[johnschwartz]

I think Ambassador McFaul deserves being referred to as Ambassador McFaul instead of "Mike".

[amadisdee]

In Spanish we say, "Cuando el rio suena, piedras lleva, " meaning "when the river makes sounds, it means it is carrying stones." C'est-a-dire, "where there is smoke, there is fire."

[eisenschnee]

It's always 5 o'clock Kremlin time.

[stanleykubrick]

It's telling that one of the world's greatest military powers couldn't outfit their troops with the same size boots/socks on each foot at the beginning of this special operation.

The only difference between Trump and Boris Yeltsin: A BOTTLE OF VODKA!!

[mediaprof]

The negative attitude of the military does not mean they want to go home; it may be that those who want to escalate the war have more leverage that they did before.

[tangodaze]

They increased an allowance of vodka from one to two bottles. Everybody starts in the morning.

If I was a member of the Wagner group, l’d just walk away from this whole mess
