Russia has been getting its cheeks clapped pretty hard by Ukraine lately. I am sure the Russians are looking to grab on to any little successes they can to try and break out of their current death spiral.

It’s cute that the Russians are still using the word “liberate” to describe the capturing of foreign territory in an illegal land grab. Reminds me of when a pickpocket “liberates” a wallet from a marks pocket.

Liberate. You keep using that word. I don’t think you know what it means…
