He looked more wrinkly at the V Day parade. The videos are a bit low res so it's kinda hard to tell.

lol.. we were just talking about that earlier today when we saw the military parade.. looks like he aged 10 years in the past year

he really doesn't look bad for a 73 year old who has held a high-stress job for a quarter of a century

Considering being the head of state of a US adversary is just a martyrdom position at this point, I'd also say he's doing fine.

Him and xi are aging well compared to literally any other major world leader. They look older but still normal, every one else looks pickled

The Ukrainian military violated the Victory Day ceasefire on 8,970 occasions after Moscow ordered all of its troops along the front line in Ukraine to halt combat operations and remain in their positions, according to the Russian Defense Ministry.

Spiritually israeli, can only make advances when the other side is literally not fighting.

Ukraine is also a fake country invented by the US and EU to destabalize their enemies, so there's that.

Wasn't it invented by Lenin, essentially?

I had the thought recently that Ukraine is just Israel: Europe Edition.

[-] Evilsandwichman@hexbear.net 20 points 6 days ago

Elensky DID say he wants Ukraine to be the Israel of Europe (in which case Poland better watch out)

True, but the V day parade was awesome. With or without Putin, Russia is going to outlast the west. It will be for a lot of material reasons, but it will also be because antifascism was cultivated for decades as a core element of their national identity, and that idea spoke to people so strongly that capitalist restoration could never overcome it. The west will give antifacism a nod, but it is not encouraged as something the working class should take seriously.
