Former KGB Agent On War In Ukraine | Zerlina.

My son in law, who grew up in Poland when it was ruled by the Russians, said they were forced to go to parades. If you weren't there you were in trouble.

In the recent days Putin sounds more and more like Goebbels and Hitler. Seeing so many people cheering also reminds me of 90 years ago. I'm worried.

Pain and suffering to Putin 10 Fold. Peace and healing to strong Ukraine 💯 Fold .

Would Russia have invaded Ukraine if DumbDonald were still president?
*DumbDonald would have ASSISTED his Boss Putin.*

[RobBCactive]

In Europe many of us noticed the similarity between Putin's war justification and Hitler's.
But Putin seems to be getting like Trump and last time I heard Trump, he was saying he'd nuke somewhere too.

When possible, the Ukrainian fighters should start posting pictures of Russian soldiers' name badges as much as possible. This message will start to move around the internet, and then more Russians will start to go online to find the information about friends and loved ones. Subsequently, they will start to see the truth of what is ACTUALLY happening. Ukraini! ✊🏼🇺🇦!!

Putin is cracking up ever so slightly to discerning eyes. Behind the scenes, he’ll be raging.

Pootie was on a roll until he wasn't.

Check it out, folks - the world's first bullet-proof down jacket! (with armor plating and Kevlar vests beneath).

All hail Vlad the Headshot...!

[dwaynejackson]

This is what a narcissist does...
1. Give you their opinion on what should be done and how
2. Ask for your opinion on the matter, but you can't deviate from what he has already said or you will be punished.
3. Get angry and blame you when their plan doesn't work..so you still get punished.

*Is Boss Putin STILL PAYING DumbDonald?*

[VagabondiOfficialTV]

Putin showed the world that Russia is the paper tiger

If this had happened in my youth this white man would be talking to another white man. That he is talking to a black woman with natural hair. This is why American can be great, it gets better, very slowly, but better. Thank you for your reporting.

I like Zelina one thing about her, she doesn’t interrupt

[alekkonert]

This is the first time I have seen Zerlina. Very good interviewer. I look forward to more from her.

11 million Russians have family in Ukraine. He can't know about them all. Maybe one of his guards was raised by a grandmother in Kharkiv. It will catch up with him sooner rather than later.

[miket.]

What a disgusting person deceiving his people and lying every time he speaks to save face to continue murdering innocent life for his evil ambition.

[LeviBulger]

This whole stadium thing is hilarious. It's obviously staged, first of all. Secondly, he only had this event out of necessity. He is clearly trying his hardest to make it look like he still has all this support, but he deep down knows he is becoming more and more isolated. Someone with actual support doesn't have to do these things. I take this as a big sign of weakness.

[suzyqualcast]

Olde fella, wrapped up warm.
Chief of Intel and deputy dismissed, Lord alone knows how many Generals also dismissed or dead on the
