Russian Soldiers got onto Tinder to arrange dates with women in Kharkiv

The soldiers were so certain they would be greeted with candy and flowers in Russian speaking Kharkiv, they got onto Tinder to try to arrange hookups.



Russian soldiers are on Tinder looking for dates with Ukrainians

Russian soldiers are swiping for Tinder dates with Ukrainians in between fighting them for control of the country.

When we went "In Country" all cell phones are banned.
The reason. As someone above joked about having the Russian Soldier tell you where they are, you don't have to.
The pictures have Geotagging automatically embedded into the file. Open the pic, hit setting and get an exact location of where the picture was taken from. Step two; send munitions on target with predetermined coordinates. Step Three; wait for the boom.

No one here has EVER trusted a Russian leader except Gorbachev. Putin is considered as a sadistic lying snake, only restrained from his greater imperialistic ambitions by NATO, whose willingness to come to the aid of its smaller members in Eastern Europe Putin is salivating to test.

Germany is trying to maintain an appearance of normalcy, but acutely aware that they have an unstable, unpredictable tsar-wannabe next door who has nuclear weapons, and isn’t shy about threatening to use them, even when he DOES know the consequences for him if he does.

They're kids serving their conscription. Reports are that many didn't really know what was happening and thought this was just an extended drill. To them, this was no different than frat boys changing their Tinder location to Cozumel or Daytona before leaving for spring break.

show a couple of completely roided out bullet head slabs of beef ... My impression was some distance from 'fun loving college kid.'
