That'd be the most pathetic nationalist tankies ever cheered, leagues away from "Hero of the Soviet Union" Gamal Nasser.

Oh, the amount of times tankies called me a "CNN talking mfer". And ahem, I've never read CNN news in my life. And usually that was something about country where I live that is Ukraine.

They're like hate USA, but are still too America-centric to not assume that maybe someone writing something about Ukraine is actually from here and didn't get his data from American media that is hardly relevant in here.

I find it more amusing to just observe their cognitive dissonances at certain events.

My favourite was when Bernie Sanders condemned Taco Don for trying to side with Russia and then "socialists" suddenly don't like him anymore and conjure some peculiar arguments as to why he's wrong, while trying their hardest not go spamming Z's 4-chan style.

Eh, I wouldn't say Taco Don has no control of Alcoholic. It's just Alcoholic making a guess of what Taco Don wants and actively trying to appease him. Or the good 'ol "Taco Don lied", just like he told once that he never met that Epstein guy.

My poor boy Makhno siding with Bolsheviks and later going "nah, screw them" to ally with Petlyura says a lot about Bolsheviks.

As someone had put it:

Putin lays a pile of shit in Trump's hands, and latter looks for nuts in there to be happy about.

Pooty is simply happy to be staging a distraction for West, that is these sham negotiations, where Russians arrived with same set of demands they had 3 years ago (yes, capitulation), and same impudent attitude.

And Taco Don probably got "lol no" when he again brought up topic of direct meeting of him and Pooty.

So he said about 10 Patriot rockets, and 30 were to be shipped prior to halt. That's "US will send Ukraine less weapons", not more.

While people like Rubio and Couch Lover have to "tune in" to Taco Don's stupidity, I think Pete there was already on that wave due to being an idiot, and alcoholism probably doesn't help, so my assumption is that he was actually quite in sync.

Considering how shipments were stopped last times, with one most idiotic - "we stopped shipment because what if they negotiate ceasefire now" - that's absolutely what "master of the deal" would say.

He could've tried to revive the country, and he got an easy start in the 00s, but he chosed to gamble it instead.

That's not why people become dictators. Not to mention that in autocratic environments heads of states don't really feel the consequences of their actions, and don't really mind throwing millions of their own people under the bus to bring some ephemeral former glory back.

Some folks became billionaires in Russia simply because they were friends of Putin though.

These may truly be protected class. Everyone else though - out the window as soon as they outlive their usefulness.
