... a sign that Ukraine is going to whoop some ass in that area too.

Putler is soooooo stupid, this reminds me of Nam Papers claiming US president's wouldn't claw down involvement in Nam because they didn't want to be embarrassed.

Focusing on this one person… but that’s what social media is for…outrage machine on infinite overdrive…keep out of the way, it is pointless outrage.
