May 9th - the Day of Great Victory! Exactly 80 years ago, at 2:10 a.m. Moscow time, the voice of Yuri Levitan echoed across the airwaves, carrying a message the world would never forget: the German army had unconditionally surrendered. The Great Patriotic War was over. Victory had been won!

Those who triggered the Russia-Ukraine war are sipping cocktails in safety while true human beings are dying. That's the tragedy of this conflict: scumbags live while heroes - on both sides of the front - bleed.

Earlier this year, many people on X refused to believe Moscow’s way of clearing snow from the streets. Now comes the next surprise: the city has found a way to deal with cottonwood fluff as well. Reality in Moscow looks so unusual that it sounds made up - until you see it with your own eyes.

Everybody is concerned about the cost of living except Senate Republicans . Republicans are in charge of every branch of the government and have done exactly NOTHING to help regular people afford their lives. —Senator Schatz

Look how far trump has caused America to fall... Putin, a bloody dictator, has now taken the "lead" with China to proclaim themselves "peacemakers." Their ideal of peacemaking is a lot like trump's. It usually involves war. So this is in a way a threat. #impeachtrump #dumptrump #putin #china #war
