This week one Russian paper suggested Donald Trump “looks like a loser.” By contrast Russians are told they’re a nation of winners. I visit a ‘patriotic festival’ near Moscow. Think village fete – with firearms. Our latest report from Russia. Steve Rosenberg for BBC News

1. Love Steve’s reporting. He shows what’s going on and what’s attacking Europe.

2. Putin is the biggest loser (and a turd) in the world

3. That’s some twisted shit.

4. Another reporting from the city, which is 60 km far away from Moscow, pretending to explain Russia. People in the nice clothes, everything is clean and fancy. Russia is something very different.

5. Trump looks like a loser, but so does Putin. Birds of the same feather…

6. Trump said he’d end the war in a week.

7. I don’t know what Trump is going to [announce](https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2025-07-11/trump-plans-major-russia-statement-monday-criticizes-putin) on Monday but i truly hope that it will be firm enough to force an end to this war.

8. Nothing is going to change until Xi brings Putin to heel.

9. Seeing kids being brainwashed live and getting prepped to wage war against another nation through lies and deception, is one of the most depressing thing. Whether be it Hamas or Russia, it’s like govt-financed child abuse.

10. I will take “things you say if you don’t want to fall off a window” for 500€

11. What is actually wrong with Russians? School fete teaching kids how to load guns ? 😂😂 would never see anything like that in Europe/UK just bizarre.

12. Nothing says winner like topping the charts in alcoholism and HIV.

13. What are the sanctions that the US/EU *could* but *won’t* impose to end the war?

14. kalashnikov kids, and tankie tots, sacrificial soldiers being groomed for an early grave. Good grief 😔 

15. “Otherwise, why are we doing this?”
    Because you’re a nation of idiots, that’s why.

16. NATO is the problem…..not Russia.

17. Sanctions alone aren’t enough. We have to better support Ukraine directly.

18. Sanctions? Did not work.

    Military? Ukrainian is getting smaller and smaller.

    Wimbledon? Did not work.

    So yeah, US is rulling the world.

19. Calling others “losers” and declaring oneself a “winner” is pretty much the most loser thing one can do.

20. There is something deeply, viscerally wrong with the image of young children handling weapons and being exposed to warfare as an admirable/positive thing. If the image of a child interacting with guns and looking at them in admiration doesn’t seem insane to you, there’s something deeply wrong with you. And yes, this is true for any children of any country, before anyone says anything about the US or whatever else country.

21. They are winning if the task is killing russian soldiers /j

22. Dickless has had Putin’s hand up his ass since 2015. NOW he’s getting uncomfortable?

23. I hope it tickles donnie just the right way, so he’ll finally realize how much of a fool he has been made of and his revanchist, narcissistic self starts taking action.
