#8  If we can love the Daily Mail for their over-the-top headlines, celebrity T&A, and their (alleged) connection with MI6, we can love badanov for being a paid agent for the Rus. It is what it is.

But, wait! What if he is *also* a paid Ukrainian agent? That would explain the articles from both sides. Wheels within wheels, my friend.

Hey, this is like that samurai movie, Yojimbo, about a guy working for two criminal gangs at the same time; the one that director Sergei Leone made into a western, A Fist Full of Rubles.
Now, pass me the bong.

#7  That was absolutely delicious, Dron. I would love to be so effectively catty.

#6  He has to do this to make you assume he's neutral.

Why can't we love him for the 'paid Russian agent' he is? Also, are you taking your meds, dear? They're important.

#3  ^ True believers cannot be reasoned with, TW. Your intentions are good, but for naught in this instance.

#2  Why do you so resolutely ignore all the articles badanov posts every day from the Ukrainian side, Omineling Forkbeard1962? Those cheering on Team Russia can be equally indignant, and equally as stupidly wrong in all particulars.

#1   This good Russian man explains what most of us already knew about Russia, how it treats soldiers, how the state has stolen so much from the people they have trash equipment at times and how the state and their influence agents like Badanov lie to the people there and everywhere they exist. You can bet Badanov gets his paycheck just like he was promised:

Russian paratrooper reveals how he had NO idea he was invading Ukraine until the shelling started and tells how his comrades were slaughtered while using rusty machine guns and 'the tactics of our grandfathers'
