What’s historical fact is Putin openly talking about wanting to annex Ukraine since before he came to power, and the documented war crimes and atrocities he’s committed in power before, up to and during this war of aggression that - for SoMe ReAsON - you orcs support. Get. Fucked. Tankie. Fuck. 🤡😂

Wall of irrelevant gibberish.

Do you deny the historical fact that I was talking about?

Why can't you answer simple questions?

Why are you so angry?

This isn’t a debate, I don’t need to “answer” anything. I’m here to laugh at you losers tripping over yourselves to deny what is obvious to anyone with eyes: that you’re backing an authoritarian dictator invading a European country in an obvious war of aggression. And you’re losing, tankie fuck 😂😂😂

Sorry but this is a debate. If you want to conceded just don't answer and we can all take it that you've conceded.

I’m here to laugh at you

Yet all you're managing to do is rage and cry and hurl homophobic abuse.

We'll see if you can answer your questions or if you've lost.
