  1. Why do they trust the cretin who started this war in the first place? It’s called brainwashing. The more naive you are, the more susceptible you are to brainwashing.

  2. Curious about the BBC journalist. Any odds he gets arrested jay walking and gets 10 years in the gulag?

  3. If those vox pops are representative and I expect they are, “normal” russians are just vile, despicable assholes whose filthy, murderous dictator is exactly what they want : a psychopathic gang boss who loves murdering Ukrainian children for the putrid gratification of his fan club.

    • And the horde of ghouls feels pure joy seeing demolished apartment buildings, schools, and hospitals. This is the country that the allies don’t want bombed. It’s just all so sickening.

      • Sickening indeed. It seems so hard to find russians that aren’t evil cunts and yet we know they exist: eg the free Russian fighters and of course the Ukrainian commander; Oleksandr Syrsky, who has once again proved that Zel knew what he was doing. This an ethnic russian with a soviet military mindset who nevertheless has proved to be an innovative and courageous leader who is popular with his men.

        • I wonder if Syrsky has ever been trained by the West during the past years. If not, he’s an exception to the rule as far as soviet-type officers are concerned.

          • Apparently not. He is credited for two awesome achievements:

            “During the Russian invasion of Ukraine, Syrskyi initially organised and led the defense of Kyiv.
            In April 2022, Syrskyi was given the Hero of Ukraine award for his efforts.
            In September 2022, media reported that Syrskyi was the architect behind the successful Kharkiv counteroffensive.”

            And now of course the Kursk buffer zone, which we all hope will be massive and permanent.
