Putin's move in recognizing the 2 republics is correct and timely. Driving warmongers berserk worldwide. We'll fuck him up with sanctions!! We'll say bad stuff about his mama! Losers, spinning in circles and spewing white stuff, like Ash in Aliens. Putin tells them over and over and over, lookie here, we've got seventy something trillion worth of natural resources, we're a military power, and we have our own payment settlement system. They know somewhere in those troglodyte brain stems that he is indisputably correct, but their false pride won't let them stop spewing the impotent threats. Vlad twists the knife by in effect saying, "What are you going to do about it?" Fuck 'em.
Anon took the oath, and is holding on for as long as it takes. It is actually looking good on a number of fronts.
