There were a lot of memes in this thread, I don't have all the images, click through to see the whole thing.

Putin: Feb 24: we will have Ukraine in 3 days! June 3: We don't have Ukraine after 100 days. That's as many as 10 tens. And that's really quite embarassing. I keep threatening to use nukes, but that doesn't scare them anymore. Everybody hates me. Nobody likes me. I guess I should go eat worms.

Putin believes the West will become exhausted, says one well-connected Russian billionaire. Now he is trying to reshape the situation and he believes that in the longer term he will win. Western leaders are vulnerable to election cycles.

Zelenskyy: We want America to provide Ukraine with powerful military weapons like the ones U.S. 18-year-olds can buy

This is an MLRS system set up in the bed of a pickup truck. While it looks very hacked-together, according to the twitter thread it came from, it functions pretty well in its role.

1940s German planes with waffles crudely edited into their cockpits, caption 'Look out! It's the Luftwaffle!'

(This was probably because of the previous day's German autocorrect turning Waffen (weapons) into Waffeln (waffles).)

distracted boyfriend Putin looks at extremely fat Russian soldier instead of girlfriend

This thread was different. User angrysloth, who I had never seen before, showed up and made a number of abrasive pro-Russia comments. People responded with both anger and humor. Then all of angrysloth's comments and all comments that referenced those comments were deleted. At least one "distracted boyfriend" meme was deleted in this, which is why it's not here.

distracted boyfriend Putin looks at extremely fat Russian soldier instead of girlfriend, caption 'Putin contemplates rearguard assault'

Ukraine jet. Given the differences/messy paint job, we suspect that this may be a former Falcons jet 'reactivated' with parts from abroad

maybe all the alarmism about Russian successes in the Donbas was a little exaggerated? Zelensky went to visit troops in Lysychansk, allegedly operationally surrounded by the Russians, and to Soledar, on the far end of the Donbas frontline, on the same day as the Russian commander of Donetsk 'People's republic' army was killed in the same area.

Putin: I paid a lot of rubles for more fierce Wagner warriors to fight in Ukraine... and they're already gone. Again. A dose of Viagra lasts longer. So I hear. Reportedly. Not that I would know

Apparently Ukraine has bombed Russia to the stone age.. A Russian T-72B3 tank with rock armor on its sides

Extremely picturesque footage of a Ukrainian Mig-29MU1 jet with the standard UA A2A loadout for the type; 2x R-27R and 4x R-73 AAMs. These jets are still flying; indeed, the quantity available to the UAF is said to have increased after additional parts arrived

The most incredible technical of the Ukrainian forces so far--a Soviet GAZ-24-10 Volga sedan with a remote controlled weapon station module consisting of a KPVT 14.5mm heavy machine gun

Putin as Rick invites Russia as Morty on a 2 week Ukraine adventure. This turns into a much longer complete hell for them.

(This is in reference to Season 3, Episode 6 of "Rick and Morty" where Rick and Morty's adventure was supposed to be short and got much longer and more hellish than they wanted.)

Misha, a non-verbal teen with Down's Syndrome, didn't understand why his family had to flee Mariupol this year. To placate him, his mother told him they were travelling to meet John Cena. Cena heard... and went to Amsterdam to oblige.
