Meanwhile, I don't think the sanctions should be lifted. The Russian people need to hurt. I hate to say it. But my beef with them is that they didn't get rid of this loon before he became the new Hitler.

We all know what it's like when your country gets taken over by someone you hate, but it's time for THEM to kneecap him.

He spent a week threatening to use nukes, now he suddenly says Russia has "no ill intentions towards its neighbours" and wants relations to normalize. Good luck with that.

Thanks to his own actions, relations with Russia are not going to normalize for a very long time. Certainly not before Russia has a new leader -- preferably one that won't threaten the entire world with a nuclear holocaust.

... when plans don't go as you anticipate it can sometimes get on your nerves,...

That sorta makes you jitter buggy...

××××××

When you execute your best plans,...
Then it suddenly explodes in your face,...
And the worst plans you formulated and you launched those worst plans against your worst enemy to teach them a lesson that you mean fucking business,..

And then,.. low and behold,.. in the middle of all these war plans, war posturing, and war games - while you were busy plotting your surprise attack on your alleged enemy - somehow your best plans got turned upside down.... inside out and backwards....

Now you want to talk about the state of JITTER BUGGY,... this kinda shit immediately takes you right to the pinnacle of JITTER BUGGY DR

Poor,... poor,.. putiePoot !
He only has himself to blame,... the idiot brought this fucking nightmare down upon himself.

How stupid was that ?
And some fucking world class Stupid Fucking Fascist Idiots have the audacity to call putiepoot a fucking genius.

The fact remains,...

The Tangerine Fatsolini has an IQ of 17.0 ..

The Honerable US President Joseph Robinette Biden has an IQ of 370.0,...

And finally,.... Mr. putiepoot has an IQ of 17.0,..

The best advice for you two Mensa Geniuses is don't play chess with Joe Biden,... Joe is way way,.. like light years beyond and out of - your guys babbling idiot league.

Just save yourself world stage embarrassment,.. fold your tents as swiftly as possible,.. and go the fuck home,.. you fucking flameing bags of shit assholes.

Take your fucking nuclear weapons and shove them up each other's ass,.. putiepoot & trDUMPie make such a delightful clown car tag team.





... the reality being,.. it took you a few days for this reality to dawn upon you...

... but the genuine not propaganda reality is the tables have been turned over, upside down and backwards,.. then tables further rearranged against you while you were distracted for a nano-second or so...

...now that the dust of your war gamesand your tin soldier mI litary excurssionsbare beginning to finally settle - this is what the world now sees,...

The fucking missiles you launched against your perceived enemies,.... have since been redirected and re-programed to strike a different target,... that target Mr. Putie - the missilesxare now launched and heading top dead center for your lap and crotch.

You know Mr. PutiePoot,.. at one time not to far back in time Mr. trumpie-The/Tangerine/Mussollini/HotAir/Wind/DoucheBag/trDUMP was your personal poodle answering to your every bark and command.

Well Mr. PutiePoot those tables have also turned, also to your disfavors. (Funny how KARMA often rears its head) well, things on the world stage have assumed a brand new posture,.. you Mr. Putin,.. excuse me, I meant PutiePoot,.. you are now the poodle. You are now the poodle of a Mr. JOSEPH ROBINETTE BIDEN who is also your current puppet master, like formerly you appointed yourself trDUMP's.
