  3. What is this? Some kind of… war? I was assured this was a military operation.

  5. Parades require a lot of planning, I don’t blame them for starting early.

  6. I won’t be surprised if Russian will shoot down their own by accident and claim it was the fault of Ukraine.

  9. You just know there’s gonna be some sort of “friendly fire” incident. The VIPs due to head to Moskva must be feeling a little nervous.

  12. It would be great if the foreign dignitories were unable to attend the May 8th parade due to Moscow’s airports being closed because of the drone threat.

  15. There shouldn’t be a night Saint Petersburg or Moscow isn’t targeted

  17. I’m still waiting for a big ol’ missile to go through the front door of his mansion on the coast. Also Moscow should be targeted every night. As long as Russia is in Ukraine they should never have a peaceful night.

  19. Waiting for Russian fan boys to say “we would never” insert images and videos of Kryvyi Rih on April 7th

  21. The roof… the roof… the roof is on fire! We don’t need no water let the motherfuckers burn

  24. Putin to Xi: “uh can you come sooner? and maybe stay longer?”

  27. the dealmaster said he would strike a deal and now it seems the deal isn’t dealing. what’s the deal, dealio?

  28. And they should continue to target Moscow until putin has no choice but to surrender and retreat completely

  31. I love the pressure they’re putting on Putin ahead of his circle jerk parade. Making him sweat.

  32. Good on Zelenskyy, there should be no terms for the occupiers, especially not a stupid parade while children are kidnapped, innocent are murdered. Slava Ukraini.

  33. from days…to weeks.. now to 4 years and counting. Not bad Ukraine.

  34. Can’t bomb military parade because International leaders will be there. Solution – force them to keep the airspace closed for days so the International leaders can’t get there.

  36. Finally. Hit Russia where it hurts them. They are doing it to you. Keep it up Ukraine!
