    For the curious, the phrase on there, “Победа всегда за нами!” (Pobeda vsegda za nami) means “Victory is always ours!”. The literal translation is victory always for us, but that sounds weird in English.

    Curious that they didn’t use a Latin Z in place of the з that’s in their normal alphabet.

    They proclaim as they bomb the poor innocent coffee shop.

    Why are they including their invasion of Ukraine, Napoleon’s Russian invasion AND the period of Mongol dominance over the Rus? Is Putin claiming the Mongolian conquest of Kievan Rus as a military accomplishment of Russia?

      It’s all “the West is coming for us” messaging with the dates they picked, they don’t care about the details.

        “the West is coming for us” … they don’t care about the details.

        Surely they at least care about the correct direction.

        East =/= West.
