    Russian draftees may have earned a new nickname--possums. The latest rage in the Russian draftee movement is to play dead on the battlefield and then beg for mercy when Ukrainian soldiers come upon them.

    There is good news, however. It turns out that Russian draftees are being given army training before being sent to the front. They are trained on how to dig a ditch. No weapons training--apparently not needed. If a shooting war breaks out, they are to start digging a ditch to safety.

    Wagner dude is making moves. Would like to know who really ordered the arrest of Putin's goddaughter. That was a power move by someone, maybe same guy, to put the elite in line.

    Great news! Putin-Hitler is no longer trying to de-Nazify Ukraine! He is now trying to de-Satanize Ukraine, which apparently has been invaded by the anti-Christ. This has the added benefit of sending Russian priests to the front lines, where they otherwise would be unlikely to go. They are using body bags to hold water for baptisms--you know, for good luck. Where is Rasputin (any relation to Vlad-Putin?) when you need him? Where do you think he goes next with his good works projects in Ukraine? Maybe de-louse Ukraine? De-contaminate Ukraine?

    Russian Troops Baptized in Body Bags as Moscow Pivots to ‘De-Satanization’ of Ukraine

    Holy crap! I think we now know what DD's day job is.

    They are doing a fine job of desanitizing Ukraine. A bloody and unnecessary quagmire.

    True, this was entirely unnecessary.

    Crimea has an isthmus (narrow land bridge) to the NNW and a bridge to the north (NNE) that connects it to Ukraine, and a bridge to the east that connects it to Russia. The east bridge was the one that Putin was so proud of, and was partially destroyed allegedly by a bomb in a truck. Kherson is a city in Ukraine across from Crimea in between the isthmus and the bridge to the northeast.

    Not poster's usual garbage source so kudos. However it's an opinion piece written by an author on the speculations of David Petraeus who has not been in the military or government for a decade.

    Oh so typical for "Christians" - Get behind whatever murderous scum is in charge of killing innocent people to save thier own ass.

    Apologizing in advance for the apparent insult, maybe it's because you're an useful sounding board who has been manipulated and really doesn't need to be bribed to spout pro-Russian propaganda.

    Is it just me or does every person a religious leader say is going to lead us to the promised land seem to have more antichrist attributes than Christ like attributes?

    Totally unnecessary jab. Show me a murdering despot, and I’ll show you examples of them doing their worst in the name of whatever god he would have their people follow. It just so happens in this case that Putin is a benefactor of the Russian Orthodox Church, which I would point out is as odds with the rest of Eastern Orthodoxy over its support of this disgusting war of conquest.

    Christians and Catholics have a particular affinity for supporting the despot of the day, starting from day 1 of their cult movement.

    Yes, too many Christians support American wars.
