Just some Russian fascist hosting a talk show on Radio Freedom preaching “total annihilation of everything Ukrainian, including their language, street signs and historic monuments”
Kobe Bryant would run scrimmages wearing Boston Celtics colours to get his teammates at LA riled up before actual games against their arch nemesis
Well this was a lot closer than I had expected
Putin in 2012: Russia has become a truly free country in which it isn’t possible to install any kind of dictatorship anymore.
And then goes on to become a fuhrer.
This is Sergey Kurginyan, one of Russia's main ideologists of the "russkie myr" (Russian world) construct, in which all aggression and land grabs are justified by Russia's "special mission" somehow.
In this short from today's talk show he says "This is all a tragic mistake, we must urgently undo all the bad we did!"
Why, what happened??
Been thinking about this quote by Lieutenant Worf: "I don't know who Holly is but her enemies' desire to deck their halls with her bowels tells me she's a great warrior who's to be revered and honored all across the Galaxy."
Two of Russian propagandists' favorite phrases are "Everything is according to plan" and "We haven't even started yet!" (implying invincibility and explaining away failures).
However, talk shows hosts and guests alike are often seen whining about strikes deep inside Russian territories against which they have no defense, because "NATO weapons are obviously far superior to ours."
Just so you understand how far gone Russia is here’s a “holiday wreath” in Saint Petersburg today, in which the second heart is dedicated to the Ukrainian city of Mariupol.
Mariupol was almost completely razed by Russian forces. At least 20 000 civilians are considered dead in air strikes, artillery bombardments and outright executions.
Russia calls it “liberation”, “salvation” etc.
Russia's ex 'mock president" (read: benchwarmer for Putin) Medvedev writes something absolutely atrocious in a new Telegram post, calling Europeans a "live shield" and Zelenskyy a "drugged up clown" for his appeals for help to the EU.
Meanwhile the Kremlin press-sec Peskov says that pulling troops out of Ukraine is "out of the question"
More reports of large convoys on the move in Belarus heading towards Ukrainian border
Belarus suddenly puts armed brigades on the move heading towards Ukrainian border
🤦♂️
When is this bullshit going to end, huh
Christmas Dirty Chai cocktail
(I'm totally making it this weekend)
Espresso, chai tea, honey syrup, kahlua, coconut milk, cinnamon, nutmeg and anise.
They say the movie Tetris was very difficult to film because each time an actor finished a line they disappeared.
