You can hear people shouting 'нет войне.'

DISCLAIMER: due to my selective hearing, I could be wrong in translating and they also could be shouting 'arrest this CIA agent.'

You know some of the stupid on ATS is getting to you when you take a post seriously enough to the point you have to use a translator to figure out if its actually sarcasm... and im normally fine recognizing sarcasm.

I honestly had to double check though lol... since who knows in a place like Russia maybe they were infact shouting 'arrest her'.

Edit:- Lol looks like im not the only one that got caught in the sarcasm trap **tips hat to a master**

Sorry for all the confusion. This war is confusing enough on its own to mess with such things as sarcasm.

Here, have a joke as an apology:




Also, remember this guy:

And they have a lot of bombs with his name on them too. Its mutual destruction, something oddly the world seems to ignore.

Maybe Putin has gone mad. The hope then is that the power elite in Russia, of course, with the help of the CIA takes this Maddog out!

Ive actually kinda thought about that on occasion... if somehow Russia looses and retreats, Ukraine now has a decent amount of valuable scrap metal sitting around (and yes those words are a little bad taste given the other destruction of infrastructure).

How much would you get for a blown out tank frame in terms of pure scrap value.

The Russian ambassador to the UN just said that Trump was the legitimate president and that he was overthrown
