How much is 10 billion rubles in dollarydoos? Or any other Western-friendly currency?

And what does it have to do with Ukraine?

No, no, the black sharpie on the maps clearly indicated encirclement. /s

I love this plan.

The Mult will just go back to wearing diapers and carrying rattles at rallies and other events. Because, as they’d tell you, that’s not weird at all. Now, tan suits, don’t get them started.

Is it just firing blindly? I can’t make out anything that doesn’t resemble something I’d see in the distance in Minecraft.

“I will accept no contrary advice from my councilors, nor advisors, nor my people!” said no non-megalomaniac ever.

Boneheads. They initiated an entirely unnecessary conflict. They didn’t see this as a possibility?

I was thinking it is almost its own form of stolen valor, but I’m not a vet, so my opinions remain just that.

Edit: “it” being to denigrate Waltz’s honorable and valued service, in case that wasn’t clear
