    It seems strange that the Russians are going out of their way to lay waste to the new republics that they’ve recognised, and making all the ethnic Russians homeless. Methinks Putin didn’t give a hoot about the ethnic Russians in the first place. He certainly is an overly large part of the body that excretes faecal matter, there’s no question.

    @E.J. Murray: you are so right, he would not be doing this to them if he did.Mariupol has a high Russian speaking population also which are living in a hell underground for the last 6 weeks.
    He is an absolute beyond evil human being as are some of his shoulders the way they have treated civilians.
