This might be a little tougher than Putin thought...

Hey, at least he's still living life...
My first thought was he's making light out of a horrible situation where he will die soon.

Abstract
For hundreds of years, states have sought to intervene in the affairs of others in a surreptitious manner. Since the professionalization of intelligence services in the aftermath of the Second World War, this behaviour has become known as covert action, which—for generations of scholars—has been defined as plausibly deniable intervention in the affairs of others; the sponsor's hand is neither apparent nor acknowledged. We challenge this orthodoxy. By turning the spotlight away from covert action and onto plausible deniability itself, we argue that even in its supposed heyday, the concept was deeply problematic. Changes in technology and the media, combined with the rise of special forces and private military companies, give it even less credibility today. We live in an era of implausible deniability and ambiguous warfare. Paradoxically, this does not spell the end of covert action. Instead, leaders are embracing implausible deniability and the ambiguity it creates. We advance a new conception of covert action, historically grounded but fit for the twenty-first century: unacknowledged interference in the affairs of others.Why does Tucker hate the USA so much?
Why does this traitor have an audience?

I can’t believe that the engine starts when you turn the key on those things. I wonder how many they have to walk past to find one with wheels and an engine at their storage depots?
Russia's lead propagandist got drafted. Talk about a meltdown
From the comments, it is a joke, like bad lip reading.

At some point, Europe is going to have to stand up to Russia (speaking mostly of Western Europe.)Interesting…

Well, this is surely motivating to the draftees
Were you home schooled with no friends or something? Sounds like a really sheltered upbringing, I guess I was lucky I was able to get out of the house and discover all the great music that my parents weren't listening to at home. Along with the nudie mags and R and X rated movies😂
That guy does look like John Lennon, and he’s waving a Swifter
Oh look, one of Putin’s shills shared by one of Putin’s shills.
The crew that bailed out did the right thing.
Russia: Ukraine’s #1 Military hardware supplier. 😂
"SEOUL, South Korea — North Korea is apparently moving to sell millions of rockets and artillery shells — many of them likely from its old stock — to its Cold War ally Russia.
Russia has called a U.S. intelligence report on the purchasing plan "fake." But U.S. officials say it shows Russia's desperation with the war in Ukraine and that Moscow could buy additional military hardware from North Korea.
The ammunitions North Korea reportedly intends to sell to Moscow are likely copies of Soviet-era weapons that can fit Russian launchers. But there are still questions over the quality of the supplies and how much they could actually help the Russian military."
"The latest clip, Ukraine recaptures Kupiansk village, Vuzlovyi added yesterday, Kharkiv region."
Russians now trapped against broad river?
Oh look, someone doesn’t realize PNAC’s goals are realized by this war and most importantly it’s furtherance.
I need verification this isn’t a fake, because that is almost straight out of the Simpson’s or Monty Python. How long she goes on about sourcing and bringing your own tourniquets and feminine pads to plug bullet holes is either hilarious or incredibly sad.
Sometime in the early 2000s I was walking the grocery aisle with a former SEAL who appropos of nothing stopped, snatched a box of feminine pads from the shelf, looked at me earnestly and said, “excellent field dressing!”
Put it back on the shelf and kept going.

Makes sense. I guess the part that struck me was how she carried on about tourniquets. If you are a new conscript, they can’t stress enough that you need to find your own tourniquets as they won’t provide them, and it is at least implied you will need them.
Fake? It was on the Internet!
3rd country since yesterday. There may only be a limited time for Russia to save itself by withdrawing from Ukraine.
