He has single-handedly destroyed Russia's reputation on the world stage. We used to be scared of Russia. Not any more.

[tvmtravelvideomovies]

Goodbye Vlad. The history books will remember you as a scared little man who thought he was big.

[DavidGetling]

Probably a lot more difficult than even managing his incontinence.

This man is delirious about 2030? He won't live to see 2024.

[tnickknight]

Russia will be paying for an update, as it will be a requirement to remove the sanctions after they are defeated. Slava Ukraini 🇱🇹❤🇺🇦

"by 2030 they have to reach the average Russian level..." Sounds more like a threat than a step forward, considering the average Russian level, on anything.

In normal people language that means ” total disaster”

The only thing difficult is he lives in a make belief reality'
and bears no rassemblement to usual standard of respectability
and Zero personality.

It's pretty clear that Putler is living in his own "la la land". I don't think he will be around to see any of these grand plans come to fruition that he was talking about.

[babyfacemichael]

He just wants piece, a piece of Ukraine, a piece of Poland, Latvia etc etc

[bennyandersen]

How can you "take back" something and call it new regions??

[gherkamum]

A very worried man, what world is he living in...

[razorburn]

Situation difficult? As I literally just got done watching a Russian soldier blow his own arm to meat-pudding while trying to throw a grenade…

[cristo]

So by 2030 the annexed regions will be living in 1955. What a great deal I'm packing my things to move ASAP.😳🤭🤣

[arthurdrake]

Let me translate. We are getting our asses handed to us keep fighting hope for the best- pootin

[jayc]

''Without doubt'', sounds like he's trying to convince himself, all while having the head and eye movements of an angry and frustrated person.

[truthplease]

98% results in the recent referendum (sept) now things are difficult-
Can trust them dam politicians…….

[TheHateSpeechChannel]

[lawngaiyi]

Don't manufacture horror.
Manufacture comfort.
Promote a relaxing environment.
