  1. King Liar of the Kingdom of Lies is surprised people in his kingdom lie

  2. You personally are taking a big risk in expressing this, and I want to acknowledge that, and to thank you for pointing this out. We've been supporting Ukraine since this last invasion while making it very clear we won't support them committing war crimes, this very reasonable position should apply everywhere else- war crimes are never justified, ever.

  3. Maybe Russia would worry about deNazifying itself before looking at other nations
    213
  4. I'm a bit w Paul here, who the fuck is going to join the US Army because of The Rock?

  5. Pretty hilarious that Russian TV confirms what everyone on the internet already knew
    121
  6. You gotta love how Paul's eyes light up every time he gets handed an easy and organic transition for plugging StrikeGum, the best energy gum on the market
    114
  7. “OMG Ukraine is spending all its reserves in Kursk” said no one not drinking Kremlin alarmist Kool Aid ever
    112
  8. I love how the concern trolling about Kursk supposedly pulling support from the Donbas etc has mostly ceased from trolls in the comments. It’s just a tiresome meme we’ve all heard before.

  9.  @telengardforever7783  in fairness the Russian NPC AI is pretty basic
    95
  10. I'm really surprised Jake Sullivan is still in this position given all his completely shitty Russia/Ukraine takes
    94
  11.  @Katsura_ja_nai_Zura_da  Cope harder Boris
    93
  12. I get the feeling that Russian military forces are going to continue doing extra-dopey stuff (even by Russian military standards) for quite some time just given how much of a brain- and experience-drain this conflict has been for Russia.
    90
  13. I can't recall if it was William Spaniel or Perun who has mentioned making so your enemy has nothing but terrible choices to respond to your actions (granted without resorting to war crimes) but really cool to see this in action. I love when Ukraine flips all the scripts.

  14. "Kadyrov rose to power through a ruthless campaign of being born to his dad" This is a bit more of an accomplishment to sharks
    75
  15. Putin is more into comic book historical fiction, not actual history. See: his Tucker Carlson interview
    73
  16. I think it's fair for Ukraine to take the position that they're not giving up any land, and negotiate with Russia on leaving entirely.
    71
  17. You know sooner than later Lazerpig is going to get a first hand tour of this guy lol
    65
  18.  @mrjerzheel So Ukraine is fighting smart, thanks for agreeing
    61
  19. Let's hope this finally pushes Russia into something resembling liberal democracy. I'd love for Russia to finally become a modern, functional state (at least on the same level as Western nations). They have many good hearted, hard working people who deserve far better leadership.
    61
  20. I think it might be time for Ukraine to say to the Freedom of Russia Legion to "go nuts boys, just no war crimes or atrocities against civilians"
    55
  21. Also great advice for anyone online
    52
  22. *Larger Russian Army This whole war has demonstrated they're only superior in numbers, and in losing
    51
  23. The fact that the Russians are trying to claim this demonstrates how much they are losing. Honestly it's pretty irrelevant if Ukraine did put this general six feet under or not.
    50
  24. You know the only reason Musk is pissed is because Kadyrov went public with this
    49
  25.  @chopstixsix802  Pretty much everywhere that isn't Moscow or St Petersburg is
    48
  26. Czechoslovakia no longer exists; Slovakia is a separate nation (again); meanwhile either Czech Republic is kind of OK in English though Czechia is the preferred name
    44
  27. I'm fine w Ukraine doing a little public grandstanding given all the grandstanding Russia has been doing- of course I also expected Russia to not be interested in a serious, reasonable discussion, which is what Ukraine would be proposing here.
    39
  28. I for one support the Ukrainian A-Team's efforts
    39
  29. Ladies and Gentlemen, the Legion of Blyatt
    38
  30.  @timverrecchia1654  It’s a common term. Here Russian bots would say the Kursk offensive is a waste that will get Ukraine nothing (despite the offensive already producing profound effects in Russian society and the war effort in Donetsk) and supposedly just pulls “needed resources” to stop the “encroachment” of Russian forces- which, again, the offensive has succeeded in doing.
    37
  31. I can't approve but... I can't exactly complain about this either lol
    36
  32. Master strategist!
    34
  33. Well duh, they forgot how their own stealth tech works and didn't paint it Batmobile Black. That and they don't understand fuck all about how stealth technology works regardless of their claims to the contrary.
    33
  34.  @TyllerBoom  The thing is Russia has proven itself to be such an irredeemable clown state that you can't joke about how stupid and ridiculous Russia is as a state. It's a bit like the Trump Presidency, anything you think would be too ridiculous to actually happen will actually happen at some point.
    32
  35. Lenin would call such people “useful idiots”
    32
  36. Best.Opening.Ever. "Paul Is Right Again" really ought to be a series on this channel
    31
  37. This seems to be a rather arbitrary limitation. Just say "no war crimes, go nuts otherwise"
    31
  38.  @GiorgosC-rp5ms  How so? Weren't you all greeted as liberators as you effortlessly drove in to Kiev in February 2022? Oh wait you got your teeth kicked in and have been losing pretty consistently for a year now?
    30
  39. Is it just me or does Russia's leadership sound a lot like rejected Cobra characters from GI Joe?
    30
  40. Every time someone discusses this story I go "wow Russia is so stupid it squanders its arsenal in the dumbest ways possible, so scary." lol
    29
  41. What’s going to happen is Putin will reject these terms now then be forced to accept significantly less favorable terms once individual EU nations ramp up Ukraine support and essentially force Russia out of the nation. As is Ukraine is already being very successful in tearing through Russian reserves of personnel and hardware
    28
  42. Remember when the West loved the Taliban AND Robert Mugabe? And Putin? Pepperidge Farms remembers.
    28
  43.  @j3i2i2yl7 I hate how many consider this to be a "controversial position". Not wanting to ethnically cleanse Gaza doesn't mean one supports anything Hamas has ever done.
    27
  44. It is rather fascinating that even Russians who are loyal to Putin are openly criticizing his government; this really seems to be a global generational thing where millennial types and younger see criticism and some kinds of dissidence is necessary to improve performance and key to institutional vitality.
    26
  45.  @73chengosaro4  Three days to Kyiv?
    25
  46. I agree with Paul; -gate should only be used for US centered scandals. EU deserves its own meme.
    25
  47. No, it doesn't have any right to sovereign Ukrainian land, including the Donbas and Crimea.
    24
  48.  @tomislavvaldec1  Not according to the numbers released by both sides
    24
  49.  @ItsReallyJackBlack  Pointless whataboutism? Be more of a Russian bot, Boris
    24
  50. Even if this whole Putin "heart attack" thing is credible, just given Putin's age, this incident could have been any number of things, even before we consider foul play. That said it is hard to fight the urge to speculate. EDIT: I want to add that even if Putin were to drop dead tonight, I doubt things would change much in this war, other than possibly getting someone running it from the Russian side that isn't so bad at running a war.
