Tell me this looks like a Peacekeeper


?s=20&t=iJTe2JUqHAxAkvP5PmhVlw

This thug is invading Ukraine NOW. Time for the press to call it out for what it is and callout Republican supporters including Fox News cheerleaders, Tucker Carlson.

Disgusting.

Malcolm Nance now reporting from Ukraine. This could be the largest land invasion since WWII, he says, and yet a fifth column within the US is excitedly celebrating, ready to undo post-WWII security agreements.

Insane. Seditious.

What 7+ years have wrought! We're accustomed to seeing American presidents age in office. But this looks more than mere age. Wonder if the rumors of his failing health are true?

He was an ugly little troll before and he still looks like an ugly little troll.

The more I think about it, the more I can see how he and Trump are cut from the same cloth. It's not just the vanity, it's almost every aspect of their personalities. Putin's even starting to whine like TFG.

Also read speculation that he had Parkinson's disease. He's definitely had 'work' done.

I think he looks really bad in the pic accompanying the tweet I posted. Age is not treating the self-appointed Tsar very well and maybe that's haunting him, the years passing and his dream of reunifying the Russian Empire passing with them. Like most autocrats, he has all the traits of a malignant narcissist.

Or maybe he's just evil.

Or all of the above.

on the Stephanie Miller Show, he said he was returning to the US this last weekend. Said he had his travel plans laid out.

But things change.

He was in Kiev. He was on Joy Reid's show tonight all bundled up, so I figured he was still in country.

And yes, things have definitely changed on the ground. The best laid plans and all that.

They say he is on steroids, that would explain what we are seeing.

Steroids also increase aggressive behavior and also can cause psychotic like sxs.

Claiming these soldiers are peacekeepers is a sick joke. This is obviously PR for the Russian Homefront.

Do you like getting your ass kicked? See Afghanistan.
Do you think you can win against IEDs? We didn't.
All you get is many dead people.
Let's not play this game. You will lose. We are many, you are one.
You miss your Trumpie, don't you?

it was to somehow defend the German people from something and these other countries' refusal to give him what he wants was oppression.

For anyone who doesn't like the Nazi comparison, Putin's Russia isn't that great for minorities or gay people either.

When there's no informants around.
I suspect that he's got a bigger fan-base in the U.S. than in Russia.

And I don't see a shiny helmet.

(But seriously, I haven't seen a recent pic of Putin lately. He looks awful).
