Legless soldier was given a football ball. Are they totally crazy?


They say things like they are fighting the Russian army. Killed 15,000 Russian soliders. One day they want to part of NATO. The next day they want to nuke NATO. One day they want to kill all Russians. The next day they want to kill all Americans. Wanting to build a wall on the border with Russia then doe not finish it. Let's be honest. Ukraine is a small country. Area 576,000 sq km. No one one cares what they say. Seriously. And yes they are crazier than anyone else on the planet. They are only used by others to do bidding. :laugh:

These guns are AK-74M. AK-74M entered service in 1992 after the USSR. Therefore, these guns are from Russia, not from Ukraine.
