If Putin loves his country so much. Then let him go to Ukraine himself.

No one wants to fight the unnecessary war of a single old man with half his foot in his grave

Ukraine really played the entire Russian army and attacked the north instead of the south 😂

"We're gonna make the protestors go into the military, even though they were protesting against it, we can totally trust them that they would fight for us in the battlefield"

[durangomcmurphy]

They should all come to Martha's Vineyard and Chicago . They will be welcome .

[Johnathan_The_Terrible]

They seem to have left some motorcycles behind. Were they under repairs at the time, or were there no pathways or roads to head to on the way out?

[sageoldmann]

If humans on both sides refuse to fight there won’t be a fight.

[Metal-Gear-Moogle]

I'd be curious to know how much this war is costing Russia each day

Russians trying to get out while dentists in Ukraine are enthusiastically picking up guns that they've never fired before.
