DAE le savage ruzzian orcs never seen toilets before??
Human wave attacks were used in a desperate attempt to capture a Ukrainian asphalt plant. Russian scientists had never successfully figured out how to produce the material themselves. From returning soldiers the rest of the population was learning about paved roads for the first time and becoming restive. The leadership was feeling tremendous pressure.
not hyperbole I literally saw this
I'm trying to channel Anne Applebaum.
beyond parody. all possible jokes have already happened
Damn. I can't put my feelings into words. There's so much ambient disdain for Russia, and all the various peoples that live there, but no one can bother to know or remember anything about the place.
All the boomers around me watched the USSR get destroyed on live TV. I know this because I saw it too. But as recently as a couple weeks ago I had to listen to someone loudly and confidently expressing themselves and they had actually forgotten that the Soviet Union doesn't exist anymore. Also, when they watched the parliament building getting shelled you can see the streets are paved.
I heard someone my age joking about how terrible it would be to fight drunk Chechens in Ukraine, and I had to point out that most Chechens are Muslim, so they're probably not drinking much.
It goes on and on, and you're right, it's beyond parody. I hate these people.
Funny, the last welcome they got to the free world was the all-time historical life expecancy drop that came with the evisceration of their entire society
