When someone doesn't want to be your friend, u don't have to start punching them. You accept it and find other people who want to be friends with you.

Putin does not play by the rules, only the training he received in the KGB; torture, fear, intimidation, and weak points, clearly seen in the past 2 decades of his 'reign'. Then one day a nation stood up to him for truth, freedom & transparent government.A wake up call to us all.Although far from perfect, living in a Democracy is better than under Tyranny. Slava Ukraini from Aussie.

It was Dr. Raphael Lemkin a human rights lawyer who in 1944 defined the term "genocide. He presented the genocide of Ukrainians perpetrated by Soviet Bolshevik communists in four stages. The Holodomor Genocide 1932 -33 (death by starvation of the Ukrainian peasantry), the extermination of the Ukrainian intelligentsia, the destruction of the Ukrainian Orthodox church its parishes and clergy and the mass deportations of ethic Ukrainians from the territory of the Ukrainian Soviet Socialist Republic to remote and extreme areas of the Soviet Union and Gulag concentration camps. With the suppression of the Ukrainian language, arts and culture Ukraine became a Russified soviet satellite republic. It was the Ukrainians who showed the greatest resistance to soviet communism demonstrated by the hundreds of peasant uprisings and dissident movements and as a consequence it was the Ukrainians who suffered the most repression during the Soviet Union's reign of terror which resulted in millions of deaths. Estimates go as high as ten million victims. This is not common knowledge in the UK for some strange reason. Not taught in British schools and not commemorated alongside other genocides of Holocaust Memorial Day. In fact Britain has refused to officially recognise the genocide of Ukrainians on several occasions.

I knew Putin was crazy and immoral, but I didn't know he was quite this bonkers.

[SWATOPRR]

Putin should leave the comedy to those who know how to tell a joke.

Any abused woman recognizes this kind of talk. This is a truly evil empire

Saddam got his, Gaddafi got his; Putin next; Assad after.

[k-dawgbroadcasting]

Unfathomable the lengths he goes to. It's the 21st century and we have internet. And people still fall for this en masse

[captainhaddck]

A fascist, a dictator and a war-criminal walk into a bar, the barman asks "what'll it be Mr. Putin?"

Slava Ukraini! 💙💛

[rudiruttger]

Ah yes, a Russian claiming he dindu nuffin while the barrel's still smoking. Color me surprised.

[johnnydavisson]

He washed his brain in an icy cold sewer.

when you hear, that the monster-in-chief assembles his fellow monsters for new instructions, your first thoughts are always. Oh - let's hope they don't learn and improve. Than you hear that kind of insane detached twaddling and relax a bit. THIS way they'll never get on the track they aim to get on. Doesn't make them less dangerous. But guarantees their failure in their goals. Cannot imagine that there is no one around him, who doesn't get that.

Putin: Don't blame Russia please.
Everyone else in the world: No, we don't blame Russia, we blame you!

[iaindouglas]

Russian mentality seems to be they're the only sane, honest and totally trustworthy (Not to mention "Honorable") country in the World, it's everyone else that's out of step😒

[emm_arr]

The Russian trolling is so stoopid these days.

[clyde]

I’m losing a fight I started but it’s not my fault!

[Gillemear]

In Ukraine the comedian became the national leader. In Russia, it's the opposite!

[jeroenvermunt]

The filthy lies of this dwarf in his Crumblin.
