    Man I sure hope so. I hope he dies soon, knowing what a total humiliating failure his war was.

    I’d prefer the end of a rope after a trial, but I’ll settle for the desired end state.

    Didn't realize they were also threatening the EU membership too. So it once again proves it had nothing to do with NATO membership

    It’s astonishing the Russians are sending those men into combat equipped like that. Their combat effectiveness has to be below 60% at best.

    Apparently this song/group won Eurovision which is a big deal



    Edit - the group won & this is one of their songs/videos

    Polish response should be “Yeah, you and what army”.

    Smart to have waited until they signed a defense pact with the UK. Can only surmise Sweden is not far behind since they signed the same defense pact.


    Edit: My comment above doesn’t make much sense. I heard about Finland and thought that’s what this news was. Anyway, not surprising with the trilateral defense pact announced.

    Putin is a great recruiter for NATO.

    Im selling this story. If it were true, the first place to hear it would not be on this forum, but CNN or FOXnews. Sorry GC posters.

    There's all kinds of stories. The only thing certain is that he has had cancer before, was supposed to have major abdominal surgery but put it off til after the parade for May 9th. Whether it's blood cancer, pancreatic cancer, thyroid cancer...no clue.

    I buy in that he's sick and this was part of cementing his legacy because timing wise it's all that makes sense. :)
