  1.  @Normandy-e8i  : You sure about that? They’ve done it before. In fact, it’s something of a tradition in Russia.

  2.  @XxStonedImmaculatexX  : Seriously? “Woke”? That’s an issue for you when you look at this? Not everything is about you, you know?

  3.  @avarmauk  : I don’t think it matters? The past isn’t going to change this blunder. But our sanctions are not so far reaching, nor are they harsh enough. While the term, “Londongrad,” still has any meaning, at least.

  4. What must be going through their minds? You would look at the other couples in that room with you and start running the stats in your head? Knowing that some of them just will not be around when this thing is over? Then you look at your own wife, swamped by her helmet and gear, looking like a child and you’d want to weep? That small band of Kremlin Kleptocrats are such cnuts! Putin has got to GO! For the sake of the whole world.

  5. Zelensky’s right, you know. This will be remembered as possibly the most COWARDLY, “offensive,” in modern history. Deliberately bombing out civilians has never happened on such a scale! Now, what amounts to the biggest kidnapping operation! I’ve never SEEN such COWARDICE. The Red Army sure is YELLOW!

  7. And his wife. She could have stopped him, or at the very least said something about the monstrous sexism and entitlement on display. Me Too AND feminism died in Hollywood that night, to the sound of applause and a standing fricken’ ovation! 🙄

  8. To make your point a little more strongly, here’s little thought experiment: Look at Zelensky and then take a long sincere look at the leader of your own country? Ask yourself, would my leader get down in the mud with me? Refuse to leave me, even though he could have on countless occasions? Show through his actions that he wasn’t just using words? . . . You might not like the comparison . . .

  9.  Lucas Lucas  👈 Putin Bots don’t yet know that souls are none refundable. Better start looking for a new employer, son.

  10.  @niu745  : No. The opposite will happen. The Ukrainian people are familiar with Zelensky’s Cabinet members and the people will follow them. Except now they will have a hero-martyr figure to rally around. It’s just another wrong headed goal of Putin’s, to eliminate the people that frighten him.

  13.  @saffron1977  : Nnnnnope . . . Not a clue what you were saying there, sonny . . . Keep trying though? It’s kinda’ fun. Like watching a racist toddler learn his first, “Zeig Heil!” 🤪

  14. Honestly. Don’t worry about it. This is the standard Kremlin Kleptocracy Playbook 101 response to the UN meeting and showing unity, along with fresh sanctions and a fresh package of support for Ukraine. You have to look at this like negotiating with a cornered gangster who thought his robbery was going to go fine and is shocked to find himself in a corner. He pulls the pin on a grenade and says, “If you arrest me I’ll let this grenade go and take you all with me!” We KNOW he’s bluffing and that everything he’s said and done shows us how DESPERATE he is to live. That doesn’t mean that, “accidents,” can’t happen, so we have to be careful. But we’re not letting him get away with it now we have him in the corner. He just needs some help coming to terms with the fact that he’s done. And we’re going to recommend his own people, “help,” him with that. He’s BLUFFING, as he ALWAYS HAS. Our mistake has only been letting him get away with that sh*t for too long.

  15.  @ClubXXXPoison  : I have a rubber ducky with a hairdo that looks like William Shakespeare. A souvenir from an RSC performance of The Tempest. I play with him regularly. Now, he’ll never look quite the same to me. Thanks for the factoid. I love trivia. 😉✌️

  16. I hope Zelensky kicks Putin out of his country and wins the Nobel Prise! Best premier alive today and I envy the Ukrainians that. I am urging our government to do far more. Sanctions only work when they’re NOT the ones they were expecting anyway! Kick out ALL Russian businesses and seize their assets. Pay off any losses from those and use the rest to fund the Ukrainian people’s war against the tyrant Putin! That’s what I am DEMANDING from my government. And I’m making it clear that this is an election issue! If we all do that, they will have to listen!

  17. He makes a really good point. Too many innocent civilians are being murdered for this to be allowed to continue like this. The Ukrainians could sweep Putin’s Puppets into the Black Sea AND out of Donetsk if we’d just give them what they need. And it would save a fortune in cold hard cash as well as the cost in human misery. ✊🇺🇦

  19.  @rootof3vil  : To the west, Putin looks weak and scared. Like an armed robber, cornered with a hand grenade in his hand and the pin taken out. We KNOW he will not blow himself up along with us on purpose, but we want his buddies to talk him down, put the pin back in and put him away where he can’t threaten himself and others. We would be INSANE to do business with him in the future. In the same way you don’t do business with the guy who pulls out a grenade every time he loses his cool. Russians, including his oligarch buddies, need to get their heads around that, but fast. Putin is done.

  20. It takes cowardice for these soldiers to invade a defenceless country in the first place. Some of Russia’s conscripts were told they were going to, “liberate,” their, “friends.” Now they see that isn’t true, but they’re too afraid to lay down their weapons or turn them back on Moscow (for now). That requires cowardice. And cowards hate it when the world SEES their cowardice. They start targeting journalists to scare the world away from the truth. It NEVER works. ✌️

  21. MyEyesBled: Well, I sure hope he takes Jada Plinket down with him? She has more to answer for here than he does. She’s got, “narcissistic sociopath,” written all over her. And judging by the way she partied hard, singing and dancing with her, “husband,” right afterward, she doesn’t feel it was the least bit sexist of her husband to take the entire matter out of her hands and beat a guy for her? Does the word, “feminism,” mean anything in the Smith household, I wonder?

  22.  @dickydecomte8565  : We’re hearing that, “human shield,” excuse a LOT in broken English like yours. “We blew up a hospital from 16 MILES away because their was a bad man in the building.” “We cheered as we blew up a building full of CHILDREN from 20 miles away, because we told ourselves they were just human shields anyway.” F*cking COWARDS. When did the Red Army turn so YELLOW?
    4
  23.  @viktorg6823  : It’s worse than that. Putin has built his economy on oligarchy: crooks, willing to steal from their own grandmothers; and now he’s only just discovering that corruption extends to the armed services too? So much for Putin’s, “smarts.” He’s discovering that half the weapons systems he thought he owned don’t exist! But a lot of military commanders have really expensive dachas and nice looking yachts. Russia will be trading its nukes for sanctions relief within a year. And Putin will be history.

  24.  @miniarnold9067  : 🤦‍♂️ Son, even YOU don’t, “believe,” you. You don’t avoid bombing civilians by bombing entire residential neighbourhoods, hospitals, schools and town halls, cretin. The Red Army is YELLOW. The world has never SEEN such COWARDICE.

  25.  @miniarnold9067  : The Earth is flat, the moon’s made of cheese and Putin has a, “future,” right, kid? “Everyone knows that.” 😂

  26. So true. This is a smash and grab for Ukraine’s massive energy reserves. It’s so predicable that you can plot their route on Googlemaps! They’re going to the Carpathian Mountains, where the most recent reserves were found. I promise.

  27. They better replace him quick, before he forgets the words for, “I surrender.” 😉

  28.  @deanbray2805  : This war will end with Donbas and Crimea back in Ukrainian hands. That’s how, “smart,” Putin is. Murdering innocent civilians on such a scale has made nothing but TOTAL victory acceptable to the world. We’ll be relentless. And we WILL call Putin’s bluff.

  30. Putin, “sanctioning,” Australia is like the mosquito sanctioning the dog who’s blood he drinks. Will Australia even feel it? Especially since the west can just freeze Putin’s accounts and seize his assets everywhere. That’s what he gets for making it unsafe to bank his money inside Russia. He’s such a big mouthed dweeb. 🤦‍♂️🙄

  33.  @taoc5274  : So, an actor turns out to be a hero too, but you don’t think the most prestigious actor’s academy in the world should let him speak there . . . What are you afraid of, madam?

Refuse to leave me, even though he could have on countless occasions? Show through his actions that he wasn’t just using words? . . . You might not like the comparison . . . We may just be witnessing the greatest leader in the free world, here? The greatest leader of the 21st Century? From a TV comic and regular guy to this! He may just be confirming what we all suspected? That you are probably standing next to a man or woman who’s worth 20 of any one of today’s political class . . .

  35.  @92alwan  : That’s like saying, “If my next door neighbour hadn’t applied for membership of the golf club I wouldn’t have stolen his house with his family in it!” I suppose it does no good to tell you it’s NONE OF PUTIN’S BUSINESS what a free, independent country does, or what clubs it wants to join? 🤦‍♂️

  36.  @92alwan  : Sorry, son. You lost me at, “Saddam Hussein,” and all the, “Whah Whah Whaddabouting,” that followed. I wouldn’t mind if any of it made some legitimate point, but it’s just lame attempts to change the subject. So, I don’t read enemy propaganda, because that would be an immoral misuse of my precious time. 🙄

  37. Ukraine back to Russia: Not as many as your conscripts . . . Especially when you come out from behind your rockets tanks and helicopters.

  38. God wants you and me to do our bit too. That’s why he gave you free will. Make sure your leaders know they won’t win another election unless they start taking some serious action against Putin and throwing out all of his business spies! Contact your representatives today!

  39.  @KayJay940  : What amuses me about Putin’s, “bold,” move is that he seems to honestly think the west never saw it coming? By now, the UN has war gamed every scenario and has a plan to cope with Putin turning off the gas and oil faucets altogether. If I’m reading things aright, we should see any desperate attempt by Putin to right the sinking ship of state as a good thing. It just means it’s working. No one goes into a war (trade or otherwise) without expecting a return of fire. But the best minds in the world are planning for every possible eventuality. It’s about time this myth of Putin being, “smart,” was exploded anyway. He’s cunning and utterly untrustworthy, which passes for, “smart,” when western leaders have to explain away their embarrassment at being had by him once again. But people who actually KNOW the guy, like former KGB agents who are being interviewed by western media right now, all say he was just a thug and none too bright. His one, “good idea,” was to fold the Russian mob into the KGB when he was under Yeltsin. And he’s been playing crime boss ever since.

  40.  @SaguaroStash  : Putin’s ass needs to be fired by his fellow oligarchs fast! Before there’s nothing left in Russia for them to save! When the west is finding alternative sources for its energy, goods and services, temporary contracts have a way of firming up into permanent ones. The clock’s ticking boys . . .

  41.  @ndjibukabengele973  : Maybe we should have the Roman Empire again, “coz’ history?” Or the British Empire? Maybe we should start shoving kids up chimneys again, because we did that in history? Putin droids have no, “argument,” to make. But they get paid to stuff the internet anyway, trying to create the illusion that people in the west are glad that Putin is killing thousands just to steal from Ukraine like the common crook he is. ✌️

  42.  @sega9318  : Do they though? . . . That’s not what I’m hearing . . . They’re pretty quiet about it now, but, “Any civilised society is about three square meals away from a Revolution.”

  43.  @GazB85  : Nothing wrong with propaganda when it’s honest. Propaganda comes as part of the package in all wars and always has. Putin’s is lame because it’s such obvious lies! That’s the difference.

  45.  @ghosuk5552  : Oh, wow . . . 🙄 Putin got someone to lie for him in a French accent and we’re all meant to be impressed by that? 🤷‍♂️ “Coz’ it’s on the internet”? 🤦‍♂️ What’s next? “This guy in the pub told me.” 🤣

  47.  @saffron1977  : Did you mean, “Grandmar police,” son? Hard to tell what Putin Bots are on about? I suppose all the young Russian men have left to die in Ukraine, leaving Gandmar to do the policing? Is that what you’re saying? 🤷‍♂️

  48. Seems to me we can’t have it both ways? Personally, I’m kinda’ sick of entitled people thinking the world should pay attention to their political opinions just because they can cry on demand and earn a fortune for doing it. But, if anyone has earned the right to speak at the Oscars it’s a fellow artist? Zelensky is an actor. And the world NEEDS to hear what he has to say in Ukraine’s hour of desperate need. It’s controversial, sure. But the world has to stop looking the other way when it suits them. We either take actors seriously when they use their platform, or we should stop listening altogether. It seems like this would be the wrong hill for the Academy to die on. How can it, “hurt,” them to have a message from a fellow actor turned hero? Let him speak 🤷‍♂️

  49. Tell that to Putin? He could leave any time you know? It’s not his country. What does he think he’s doing?

  50. There’s not much we can, “envy,” about Ukraine’s situation right now, sitting here in the west, that is. But the whole world envy’s Ukraine’s leadership. That Zelensky fellow has balls of solid tungsten! Every iota of me hopes he wins this thing.
