    People of the world unite. Even if it takes the next generation to tell old man Putin to shove it.

  2. The next 24 hours may be horrible. However its not something I have not been expecting just about every day. I live between 3 primary targets.

  3. Fury is not the correct word to describe Russia’s populace reaction to anything outrageous, really. They just complain that the shut down was non the day after, they could easily take it on the chin then.

    As the saying goes, if it was announced that you will have to stick a broom up your butt every Friday – Russians would protest to move the ass-brooming date to Thursday as Friday is the day they get wasted. The ignorant slave mentality.

  4. Probably temporarily turning off the mobile network to disrupt potential Ukrainian drone attacks that use the cellular network to bypass the easily blocked radio frequencies.

    This happens frequently, I believe.

  5. Already past NYE, nothing happened. I don’t know where y’all get these weird tabloid scoops.

  6. Trump wouldn’t do this because then he wouldn’t be able to post 120 angry Truth Social posts.

  7. If you want to get rid of the woke liberal west, these are the sacrifices you have to make
