He says: "Yesterday Sam flew the plane and said that just 8 people were sitting in the trench, just 8 khohols [Ukrainains], f*ck! And our men go there by the hundreds, and they are not even capable of taking a f**king thing!"

Ukrainians are a force to be reckoned with when they dig in.. I will never forget how long the Cyborgs lasted at Donetsk Airport. The Cyborgs' nickname was coined by russians trying to cope with how disproportionate their losses were against dug-in Ukrainains with small arms.

Ukrainains are tough as hell.

This was Putin's biggest mistake. He expected the Ukrainian people to just roll over but history has shown over and over that people fighting for their lives can be a fearsome force against an army that would rather be anywhere else.

It's uncanny how the black knight skit perfectly summarizes Russian military doctrine

IM INVINCIBLEEEEEEE

You’re a loony!

Yeah that fits.

Is putin dead? Is any of this worth it? The russians are too scared of their own dictatorship that they'd rather die in Ukraine than fight their own dictatorship. I have no empathy for them because of this.

Propaganda is a hell of a drug, especially in a place without freedom of the press
