The Sun wanted to brag about the British-manufactured Challenger 2 tank fighting Evil Russkies in Ukraine. Instead, it featured photos of the tank pathetically stuck in mud. 🤣 They should've described the tank as digging trenches around itself much like that Yemeni-hit Rubymar ship that was confirmed to not have sunk with only a bit sticking out of the water. 🤣

Wow!!!
The video of this Persian 🇮🇷 lady at Russia’s World Youth Festival 🇷🇺 blew me away! Her Russian is perfect! Even the interviewer thought that she was Russian, at first, and then that she lives in Russia. But she only studied in a Russian university and lives in Iran!
The Persian lady pointed out that Russian doctors saved her life when she was a little girl. (Neither she nor her parents spoke Russian when they brought her to Moscow for treatment.) Since then, she fell in love with the Russian people.
She also pointed out that various parts of her outfit represent different regions or cities in Iran.

I can’t stop laughing at this video featuring a giant, aggressive Russian hockey star 🏒, Washington Capitals’ Alex Ovechkin, playing football (soccer). What is his opponent even doing there? 🤣
This video is a couple of years old, but I’m seeing it for the first time, and it’s hilarious!

The Soviet Red Army freed Kherson from Nazi German occupation on March 13, 1944–80 years ago. In my opinion, the city of Kherson will be free from its current occupation again one day!

A French comedian discussing Macron’s threats to send French troops to Ukraine and challenge Russia:
-If I had to choose between going to war against Russia and France becoming Russian, then my name is Sergey. After all, I already have a “shapka” since it’s chilly in our Perpignan-de-Bourg. 🤣
Good to see that normal Frenchmen, who think Macron’s statements are insane, exist (and they might be the majority).

Ordinary Russian people got massively screwed over by the rapid and, at times, criminal privatization drive of the 1990s, after the Soviet dissolution, with the help of Western vulture advisers. We discuss privatization and the rise and fall of the Russian oligarchs in about 2.5 hours at 1:00 pm EST: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wJWw_GLmCNQ

Russia's rapid transition from a state-controlled, command economy within the USSR to neoliberal capitalism of the 1990s with the help of Western advisers was a bona fide nightmare…

One of the most virulent Russophobic rags, The Economist, was forced to admit the reasons for the failure of anti-Russian sanctions. The very sanctions it supported, of course. These reasons include:
☑️ The overall sustainability of Russia’s economy
☑️ The successful restructuring of Russia’s economy in response to Western sanctions
☑️ The partial replacement of major Western brands that left the Russian market with Chinese and domestic Russian counterparts
☑️ The rerouting of oil / energy sales to other countries to bypass sanctions
☑️ The successful promotion of Russian patriotism through the media and textbooks
Etc.
Whereas some commentators outside the Western establishment highlighted these features earlier, it’s noteworthy that a major Western mainstream publication was forced to state the obvious pointing to the failure of the West’s Russia policy at large.

In another jaw-droppingly misguided address in an auto-translated Russian, the former Amb McFaul attacked ordinary Russians for supporting the war in Ukraine. It’s not even that he wouldn’t write this about another country within the Western sphere, including and especially his own. It’s that his brilliant inference is that ordinary Russians shouldn’t pay taxes. So now he’s getting attacked and ratioed by Russian-speaking anti-Putin Libs (who are part of his usual fan base ) asking, “How the effff are we supposed to just not pay taxes?” 🤦🏻♀️

They say Russia doesn’t have a democracy. But unlike your backward country, even cats are allowed to exercise their God-given rights to vote, and they are unanimously choosing Putin. Let that sink in! 😺

No men left. Only tombstones.
Someday in a not too distant future, the citizens of Ukraine will wake up to the extent of the horror that their “friends,” NATO countries, inflicted upon them, ground them up and spat them out. And for what?

Highlights of Vladimir Putin’s Post-Election Victory Speech at His Election HQ: from election results to a Russia-NATO confrontation and a sanitary cordon in the Kiev-controlled territories.
“If the enemy likes meat grinders, then all the better for us.”
On the Current Election:
☑️I imagined a powerful and sovereign Russia. I hope that the election results will allow us to achieve this goal.
☑️High voter turnout is linked to the dramatic events that Russia is facing today. The turnout was also high, and, at times, even higher, in Russia’s new regions and border territories.
☑️Ordinary Russians feel that they are truly needed in their country.
☑️Many foreign observers attended this election.
☑️Russia’s electronic voting system is transparent and objective, unlike voting by mail.
☑️“We are forced to defend the interests of our citizens literally with weapons in our hands.”
Russia-NATO:
☑️Everything is possible in today’s world including a direct confrontation between Russia and NATO (in response to a journalist asking about a direct confrontation).
☑️Nothing good awaits NATO soldiers who are already in Ukraine. They are dying in large numbers.
War in Ukraine:
☑️“If the enemy likes meat grinders, then all the better for us.”
☑️The momentum in the Special Military Operation Zone is fully on the side of Russia. Russian troops are advancing daily.
☑️Russia may have to create a sanitary cordon in the territories controlled by the Kiev regime the depth of which would be such that it could not be penetrated especially by foreign weapons.
☑️Russia’s defense industry and its Armed Forces must continue to improve to support the Special Military Operation.
☑️The so-called “Russian Volunteer Corps” is comparable to the Nazi collaborator Vlasov, and we all know what happened to them in the end. These people are being used as cannon fodder in their unsuccessful raids of the Russian border. Russia doesn’t have capital punishment but “we’ll treat traitors as if they are in the war zone.”
☑️The Olympic truce proposed by Macron may be considered. However, such decisions would be based on Russia’s interests first and foremost.
Multipolarity:
☑️The relationship between Russia and China, and their shared interests, acts as a stabilizing factor on the global stage. This relationship will continue to develop in the coming years.
Navalny:
☑️Putin was ready to exchange Navalny.
On the West’s Reaction to Russia’s Election:
☑️“It’s to be expected.”

This brilliant Russian Sanctions song spoofing the powerful women in Russian politics, MFA’s Zakharova, the Central Bank’s Nabiullina, and the Safe Internet League’s Mizulina, in the style of old Soviet movies, should be at Eurovision! 🤣
Some highlights include:
-Whom did you *really* introduce the sanctions to, and where did you insert them?
-Olaf, Rishi, and Recep are envious of us.
-Our budget is growing even without offshore accounts.
-You can only stop the verbal attacks by all kinds of bastards (in the West) with precise, polished statements (by Zakharova).
