  17. Gen. was assassinated. putin made a deal that was a lie to get him to put his guard down. If he's alive then he's hiding cause he turned cowardly

  18. Bunker Boy in the Kremlin loses again.

  19. Putin has more pressing issues to worry about, starting with the Russian people, unrelenting support for Ukraine from almost every country with weapons and money. Do I even need to mention Putin's war crimes if and when he is forced to surrender ?
