It was the decisive and inspirational "Go fuck yourselves" in the face of death. Fifty years from now Ukrainians will sing songs and write poems and fly flags about this heroic stand.

No firearm ever invented can triumph in the face of that, as history watches.

See the folklore response of the Zaporozhian (Ukrainian) Cossacks to the surrender demand of Sultan, Mehmed IV of the Ottoman Empire in 1676.


Zaporozhian Cossacks to the Turkish Sultan!

O sultan, Turkish devil and damned devil's kith and kin, secretary to Lucifer himself. What the devil kind of knight are thou, that canst not slay a hedgehog with your naked arse? The devil shits, and your army eats. Thou shalt not, thou son of a whore, make subjects of Christian sons. We have no fear of your army; by land and by sea we will battle with thee. Fuck thy mother.

Thou Babylonian scullion, Macedonian wheelwright, brewer of Jerusalem, goat-fucker of Alexandria, swineherd of Greater and Lesser Egypt, pig of Armenia, Podolian thief, catamite of Tartary, hangman of Kamyanets, and fool of all the world and underworld, an idiot before God, grandson of the Serpent, and the crick in our dick. Pig's snout, mare's arse, slaughterhouse cur, unchristened brow. Screw thine own mother!

So the Zaporozhians declare, you lowlife. You won't even be herding pigs for the Christians. Now we'll conclude, for we don't know the date and don't own a calendar; the moon's in the sky, the year with the Lord. The day's the same over here as it is over there; for this kiss our arse!

Putin does not care in the least about the citizens. I have seen many people on MSNBC and CNN say that Putin will cause his people to suffer hardships, which he himself won't even recognize. He does 't care what the Russian citizens think about him. He apparently is out of touch with a lot of info (his own doing). He doesn't look at TV coverage, media reports, social media, etc for any info. He cut them all off. He is basically doing what ever the hell he wants with indifference to his military and financial leaders' input.
