The russians kill us every day - not on the battlefield, but in our homes, schools, and hospitals, targeting them with missiles 🚀and Shaheds. They do it because they’re too weak to win in combat. Attacking the defenseless isn’t war - it’s cowardice🐷 #Kharkiv #Sumy #Odesa

Anyone with experience of narcissistic behavioural patterns (or any of the Cluster B personality disorders, to be fair) shudders, and then shrugs their shoulders when hearing about donold tramps latest doings. It's a case of "Oh god, not this old bollocks again", and "Yeah, of course he did."
