1. that sunflower seed thing was pretty savage.

[hlthe2b]

2. I thought it a nice touch, frankly.

THat woman knows how to verbally cut with a knife.

[Thomas Hurt]

3. lol, it was, whole heartedly agree too.

[crickets]

23. Agreed. I admire the hell out of her bravery and her sharp tongue. nt

[Hekate]

6. Yeah, nice statement

[bahboo]

11. hell yeah to the sunflower seeds....

dayum....

[msongs]

4. nice to civilians fighting back nt

[bullwinkle428]

5. She shows far more bravery than any MAGA douchebag, who can't walk down

a public street without his precious gun slung over his shoulder.

[IronLionZion]

9. I encourage MAGA folks to bravely take their guns to Ukraine

and fight tyranny or whatever they fantasize about. Here's their chance.

[SergeStorms]

10. They can't....

They're fighting for the Russians, per TFG's orders. 🙄

[Grokenstein]

12. Keyboard Kulturewar Kowards always lead from the distant rear

and dream of bravely dashing to the front to claim the crown once the shooting's over.

18. Do not ever . . . .

. . . mess with little old ladies. Not Ukrainian, not American, not any.

7. I like to remember this as when Russia, under Putin, invaded itself (Ukraine)...it was all one

at one time and so here we go,

putin couldn't find any other enemies that he could beat, mouth off, etc. so he picked on his nearest neighbor, Ukraine, so he wouldn't have to endure a logistics nightmare in getting the Russian army there to Ukraine.

I wonder just how screwed up the Russian army is, being that all of putin's billionaire friends have raped Russia and its economy. I also wonder just how the Russian army feels about invading what was once considered part of Russia at one time, again (Crimea before).

Why can't, like NATO, Russia, continue to expand? I guess it's because no one wants to be part of a failing empire, one that's truly not an empire but is instead, a bunch of old thugs trying to hang onto everything they can. Why are the young people allowing these thugs to rape the youth of Russia and the world?

[Captain Zero]

14. I read some Russ units were selling their DIESEL fuel.

So they may not get as far as Putin thinks they will.

[dalton99a]

8. Kick

[fightforfreedom]

13. I love it.

This is why Putin cannot win longterm.

[NBachers]

15. This Russian guy has clearly met his match.

[AverageOldGuy]

16. Read this . . .

This is a report on Raw Story claiming the Russian Committee of Soldiers' Mothers -- NOT a Russian government organization -- has made some astounding claims.

https://www.rawstory.com/russian-military-manipulated-into-fighters/

The part about mobile crematoriums is interesting. If true, sounds as though Putin does not want body bags or caskets coming back -- just some ashes.

[crickets]

22. Green and untrained, under duress.

Sounds like some cannon fodder got pushed out ahead of the trained soldiery. Horrible if it turns out to be true.

[doubleplusgood]

25. just like the Argentine conscripts in the Falklands war 1982

Sent to prop up an authoritarian regime via a "patriotic war", the Argentine conscripts were cannon fodder

[uponit7771]

26. Sounds plausible looking at reports (nothing confirmed) that UKR took back airport

[Thomas Hurt]

24. or they are mobile ovens for making the people on the hit list disappear.

[TomWilm]

28. "Committee of Soldiers' Mothers" has been the brave ones for years now ....

17. She is excellent!

[oldsoftie]

19. I guess its a POSTIVE that he didn't just shoot her.

In the past that likely would've happened.
And I'm sure some there now will as well. But at least THIS one didn't

[sanatanadharma]

20. Send Sunflower Seeds Meme

Sending sunflower seeds to individuals in the other 'tribe' could become a new leftist meme.
A packet of seeds with a Ukrainian Prayer, "Put these seeds in your pocket, that flowers may grow where you die"ook

Or is that some kind of twitter threat or facelessbook faux pas?.

[lindysalsagal]

21. This will be a social media war: Everyone will broadcast pics and video and vlad

won't be able to control it.

[Solly Mack]

27. The sunflower is the national flower of Ukraine.

[Dark n Stormy Knight]

30. Ahhh, that makes it even better.

Thanks for that.
