Good morning from the Russian-Ukrainian border.

Like all our fellow citizens, in the Legion we dream of a Russia freed from Putin’s dictatorship. But we don’t just dream: we make every effort to make these dreams come true.

We will take our land away from the regime, centimeter by centimeter. Russians will sleep peacefully, not be afraid of the doorbell, and will say what they think without fear. Russians will vote for whom they want, and not for whom they should. Russians will live freely.

⚡️ The Legion is coming .
For Russia! For freedom!

I think one of those dudes had a GoPro on their helmet. Fierce.

I wonder if this was what the "get out of Moscow quick" updates from various countries were about

I like the dead ones more.

If they've got boots on the ground in Ukraine, then I like them with sunflower seeds in their pocket.

If they've got boots on the ground in Russia, with the intent of taking Putin down, I like that a lot, as it strikes at the source of the entire problem.

@MushuChupacabra
I get your point, but Putin is only the leader of the ruling group. His death or removal doesn't guarantee positive change.

Neat.

Since Putin being alive is a direct block to positive change, trying with Putin dead seems like it's worth trying.

If it doesn't work, we can.always say sorry to his next of kin.

'Trying' what? Who will try it?

'Trying' what?

Overthrowing Vladimir Putin's regime.

Who will try it?

The Russian soldiers mentioned in the article.

It was rather clearly laid out in the story. Hopefully that helps you with your confusion.

The groups currently "invading" Russia are mainly far right Russian nationalists. Sure, they're against Putin, but they're just more of the same really. Finding "good" Russians is a nontrivial proposition

The enemy of my enemy is my friend. You won't hear a negative peep out of me about them, while they're in Putin punt mode.

I'm not quite as enthusiastic about uncritically cheering for neo-Nazis even if they are against Putin, but you do you.

By all means, continue to undercut threats to Vladimir Putin.

As though you were paid to. I floss my ass crack with your fake moral kvetching.
