9:00 you said that Ukraine is the poorest country in Europe. That isn't actually true. Albania is the poorest country in Europe. But Ukraine isn't exactly rich either. However, it is worth pointing out that Russia is the largest country on earth by a long shot, possessing 1/6 of the dry land on earth, and yet they're obsessed with conquering their smaller neighbors.

A German migrant told me that after the war Russian soldiers, who were the first into Germany, had not ever seen a banana.They gathered up light bulbs to take home thinking they could get light from them. Nothing has changed.
Like Nutella
I once read an account of Solviet soldiers in Berlin near the end of ww2, where they stole faucets off of sinks, thinking they would always produce water.
@@napster7825 When i was an apprentice in the 60,s one of the tradesmen told me the same story as he was in the British Army during the war and how the Russians were amazed that in Germany you turned on a tap and water came out
after the fall of the soviet union, the russian troops also left their east german barracks. they took everything with em! the pretty normal barrack buildings looked like lost places after that. toilet seats, plumbing, windows... everything was taken. i do know some normal, educated and friendly russians. but the mainpart of their armed forces must be built of individuals that are more likely to be some kind of savage animals.
All above are correct
My step dad was with his C/O when a Soviet equal C/O was handing over control of a section of Berlin to UK army.
The Soviet apologised for his “ bumpkins” stealing the taps toilet seats light bulbs etc .
In my native Bulgaria there is a popular expression dating back in the soviet era that "Russian" is moreover a diagnosis rather than a nationality.
Its the same in Poland: "Ruski to nie naród - to diagnoza" :D Cheers to Bulgaria!
Ah yes - the Russians : those people who won you Bulgarians your freedom from the Ottoman Empire.

Russian paratroops were informed the day before they were to attack the Ukrainian airport near Kiev. The used cellphones to inform family and friends of their mission. The calls were intercepted by the Ukraine military who greeted them violently when they arrived. Nearly all of the paratroopers were either killed, wounded or captured rather quickly.
it not like the US was telling them that weeks before.
No Afghanistan 🇦🇫 captured airport!
Don't believe it for a second a kid would not do something so silly, they know Ukraine is listening and vise versa.
One of this paratrupers company was eliminate near Kyiv on second day by soldiers who were mobilased day before.

Calling them 'orcs' is so accurate. One of my favourite photo's so far was the downed helicopter with washing machines in the wreckage.

Actually calling Russian's Orcs does more damage to Ukraine than good. Because the west is given a fanciful fantasy movie vision, instead of the brutal reality of calling Russians terrorists for their genocidal attack. If Ukraine learned to call Russians terrorists, it carries far more weight in the international community who are extremely anti terrorist ever since the world trade center was targeted. Name them for what they are. Russian Terrorist War Criminals committing Genocide while attacking a sovereign territory, for an Internationally Wanted War Criminal Terrorist leader.
My Dad fought in Patton's Third Army and was part of the occupation until February of 1946. He didn't talk much about the war but every now and then, he'd tell a funny story or recall an observation, he passed away in 1986. I knew that he wasn't very impressed with the Russian soldiers that he had met and he told us a story about one Russian soldier who kept flushing a toilet. Through an interpreter, he asked how many potatoes would this hold. When he was asked why, he replied that this is what this is used for, washing potatoes. He said it was funny at the time but later on thought how dirt poor these people had to be to not even have indoor plumbing. And remember, he told us this story that happened in late 1945. Apparently something's haven't changed in the last 78 years...
No, I've been to Tomsk Siberia in 1991, there were mostly high rise buildings with plumbing. But there are also many hand crafted beautiful homes, that predate the revolution, I heard with no plumbing. It was a lot more modern than I expected, for the most part, with electric trams, cars, and cable radio (speaker actually, one station all the time, can't turn it off, part time microphone perhaps?).
Patton's assessment of Russia and Russians was absolutely spot on.
@@tomgreene7942it's so bizarre to hear that "krapp"(pronounced the exact same as "crap") was still a thing in there.
No, those didn't work as part-time microphone, more like rupor extensions - only one directional. An announcer more than anything else - otherwise those played just classical music.
Those should have had volume button.
These were installed by commies, presence was checked, lackage or (repeated) nonworking condition upon inspection punishable.
If I'm not incorrect - earlier on they had central announcers.
Pa: Tomsk isn't exactly example of rural region.
Germans vs Russians - say what you say about Germans and we all know where their sins resided, but they generally behaved well-mannered and civil - Russian troops were notorious for savage behavior and looting...

You forgott to mention they stole all the grain from the silos.
Not just petty looting, but industrial scale theft.
In his book on the fall of the Third Reich, William Shirer wrote that as the Soviet Army advanced on Berlin in 1945, there were reports of Russians breaking into houses and seeing water faucets and light bulbs for the first time. They pulled the faucets out of the wall and looted the light bulbs because they thought they would work all by themselves when they got them back home.
They also looted the costumes from the UFA movie studio. There were also reports of Russian soldiers wearing ballet outfits.
Flippin Ruskies have been trolled by Leninist commies for so long that they have no sense of reality.
Raging dumbasses. No wonder Patton had no respect for them, they're a nation of THIEVES. Stolen Atomic tech, spy tech, anything western tech. What I find endlessly amusing is in the past when they tried to reverse engineer something stolen from U.S., get the metallurgy all wrong, and blow up the entire apparatus usually killing all the excess vodka drinkers standing around admiring their handiwork just moments before.😅
Dumb bunch of savages
I don't care what flag you wave, that ballet outfit thing is hilarious.
The Russians also looted tons of art from German museums, most of that still wasn't returned (it's either hidden away in Russian archives or on display in Russian museums). They weren't better than the Nazis, even kept three of the concentration camps running for years, after conquering them (partially with the same inmates, there was atleast one inmate who died in a concentration camp under the Russians after being imprisoned there by the Nazis). The camps were eventually closed in 1949 or 1950, after they were handed over to the German Democratic Republic and they faced some quite severe international protest.
1:54 minor correction, it is not "actively leaking". The predominant reason for the exclusion zone is from radioactive debris being spewed out for miles during the *initial* steam explosion when the reactor melted down.
Most of the exclusion zone is actually quite safe to be in... Unless you go around in heavy equipment disturbing large amounts of contaminated soil kicking up dust and take random pretty souvenirs.
Or pick and eat fruit and mushrooms.
The Airpod story is a perfect example of why you should have your soldiers well drilled and disciplined.
In about 1983 I had a Ukrainian history teacher who brought in a friend of his who was a German woman living in Germany at the time that Russian troops invaded during WW2. She told almost the exact stories about theft of plumbing, sinks, and toilets. She said the troops were Mongolian or one of the Asiatic Russian peoples and that they thought the water magically appeared from within the pipes. 40 years of Russian governance has not changed a thing for them in regard to evolution as a culture, apparently.
Repressive authoritarians prefer to keep the populace dumb so they're less likely to fight back. Considering Russia has almost never not been ruled by tyrants, this isn't surprising.
Strange. After all, Ukrainians say that it was their Ukrainian front that captured Germany. So Ukrainians are Mongols.
When russian had to leave Poland after communism has fallen families of russians literally took EVERYTHING from houses.
They even take down brick coal furnaces. Ofc they bring nothing when coming in.
my jugendfeuerwehr teacher told a similar story it's a myth or something which was very widespread stupidity
Sounds a lot like South Africans lmao
I read that at chernobyl they were using the contaminated dirt from the trenches they dug to fill sandbags...which they slept on. the director of the zone saw what they were doing, and told them "dig deeper, you idiots!". apparently ukranian sarcasm doesn't translate well...they kept digging. most of them ended up in a belorussian hospital with radiation poisoning and died.
Not too much publicity attached to the bivouac in the forest guys?
@@MrReymoclif714 no, not much. but the story is out there. sad part is most of those troops had no idea what happened at chernobyl, or how to deal with radiation. they had no idea what was making them sick.
Funny but more BS!
Unlikelly. The radion levels outside the 4th block are normal. Actually the level is bellow the place I live. So it would not be enough to make them radiation sick.
@@venator5 the Chernobyl soil are dangerous though not only from the radiation but mostly from radionuclides that are almost everywhere and can cause harm once disturbed like digging it

how do you have time and wifi to watch vidoes if your country is in war?
Sparky the Russians dug trenches and dugouts in the radioactive grounds near the reactor site. They were already getting dosed with radiation.
And probably shitting blood by now due to radiation damage to their inner bowel tissue.
apparently the way i hear it, they literally could have dug into other locations in the area and it wouldn't have been good, but it would have been a mild risk, and they basically just by chance dug in the worst spot in the area. so it was ADVANCED failure, they were failing at peak efficiency.
It gets worse if you somehow get radioactive material in your body.
By digging, they throw radioactive dust into the air, which they then breath in. If they're really careless, start eating lunch in the digsite during digging, they surely ate radioactive dust too.
They were digging trenches in the Red Forest. Which marks the direction the wind blew the material erupting from Reactor #4. Digging through particles of 'hot' graphite that's been waiting there since 1986. The Ukrainian staff on site obviously didn't care to warn the Russians....
Ivan: My p***k is glowing.
Yuri: Csuka! It is.
Ivan: I am not having any more of that vodka you stole. What the hell was in it?
somehow that tidbit doesnt seem true, that was a yr ago and no word of radiation poisoning to Russian troops
I watched an interview of a Russian soldier who said he didn't want a toilet because he would have to clean it out every day. I'm pretty sure they don't know that you hook them up to this thing called "plumbing".
It is shocking that at country with so much natural resources that used to export so much oil and gas can't provide gas to most of its citizens and most don't have plumbing. Many still have to walk ages to a village well to get water. One piece of graffiti left inside a house near Bucha sticks with me. It said "who allowed you to live this well?
"
believe or not but russian soldiers in ukraine dump their crap into the bath instead of the toilet that was next to it.
Who needs to watch The Bugs Bunny Show when we can just watch Russia? That's all, Folks!
@DJTV Well, I know what a Rolls Royce is and yet don't have one ....

Classic soviet move 😂😂😂
The war in Ukraine is a great boon for a select part of the upper crust Russian citizenry. If you live in a poorer section of Russia the the only boon you will get is a conscription notice that says no training required, send straight to the front.
Note on chernobyl: The nuclear plant does not "leak" radiation anymore, the levels aren't too high apart from some hotspots. All the radiation there is settled on the ground and is still decaying. When they went there they kicked up all the settled dust up again and so on, into the breathing air there.
Most trees afaik are semi normal, not sure if you are referring to the red forest, which is one location in chernobyl, not to mention those trees arent really growing, they are dead.
Although Chernobyl is stabilized, and you can go on tours, you can only stay for short periods. Half an hour is recommended to be safe from memory. However surrounding ground is very dangerous and will be for thousands of years. Putin forced the digging of trenches in radioactive ground and those soldiers will all die eventually form thyroid cancer most likely, but will have further radiation poisoning problems. As for forests, even in Bavaria far away from Chernobyl people could not safely eat deer from the forests in the 90s because of fall out problems, and probably now too, because their is radioactive dust still hidden everywhere in the forests.

I fear a true Muskovite is resistant to methanol-poisoning. The normal therapy is simply being kept drunk of clean ethanol, until you excreted the methanol. If you always keep drinking, methanol won't harm you.
@@Skaldewolf You might be right, I'm afraid :)
To be fair, my grandfather was in the American army in WW2. He said that at boot camp some of the American soldiers had never seen a toilet bowl before. They were from the Appalachian mountains, real hillbillys. Apparently they didn't know what a toilet bowl was for. He saw one of them squat down in front of a toilet bowl and splash the water onto his face to wash himself.

The Potempkin Villages thing is incorrect.
Potempkin came up with those because he was siphoning funds for developing regions Russia occupied. If the czarina or anyone else wanted to check what he was doing with so much money, they'd get taken to a Potempkin village and think the money was well-spent.
Meanwhile, Potempkin was stealing most of the money for himself, just like even today you can buy Russian army MREs online, at the same time some of their units are left starving.
Neither is Chernobyl correct. It's safe. I've been there as a tourist. Radiation levels have dropped and some areas are background level.
The Russians got f*cked because they dug trenches in the Red Forest, one of the most irradiated parts of the entire area. Dust from digging was inhaled, and once radioactive material is inside your body, that's when you get radiation poisoning.
Not that it matters: Russia no longer exists.
Inspired by the Russian 'referendum' in occupied Ukraine on which Ukrainians couldn't vote, Dutch television maker Arjan Lubach held a referendum on whether Russia should be annexed by the Netherlands. 😆
As 100% of people who voted, thought that Russia should be annexed, as since 1 october 2022, Russia no longer exists as the Netherlands annexed it.
Now we just need new names.... Can't keep calling it Moscow. Hmm.... Moskamsterdam? Mostrecht?

@@West_Coast_Gang ha
Please go back to chernobyl and dig a trench. See if its safe lol
That's great trolling by the Dutch.
A big part of Potemkin Villages were “villages” consisting of nothing more than well-painted façades to be erected all along Catherine's route that she would spot from a distance, with perhaps a few well-supplied villages as stopping points to show her "how the money was being spent."
So both are true. But in either version, it's still a very good parody of the Russian military :)
I am deeply offended by the comparison of my proud Viking ancestors to the Ruzzian army. Vikings were civilized in comparison. 😂😅😊

My 7th grade teacher back in the early 60s was assigned to guard a POW camp full of German prisoners in the West Texas desert during WW2. They didn't have to lock them up. The German speaking American guards convinced the Germans that escape would result in them being captured and tortured to death by wild Indians. In reality, the native Americans in the area were long gone or had assimilated into white culture.
You damn Yankees killed em All or forced em into Reservation! Another term for "being long gone or assimilate" 🤣
And if I recall in another case Captured German soldiers being sent by Rail to POW camps in the south commented on how they didn’t know that Hitler had already been to America because of how they saw the blacks being treated in the same manner as the Jews were.
Then there were cases that were the complete opposite where in one case as German POWs were building the camp that they were going to be staying. After the guard houses were built, the American Guards and Wardens had to leave those buildings and sleep in the same accommodations as the Germans as they still had to stay in Field Tents in accordance to the Geneva Convention on the Treatment of POWs.
And in another POW camp in the States, the Germans were allowed to take one of the buildings and turn it into a Theater where they were allowed to put on performances of plays. And they had to do everything from memory. From the music, to the play’s script, to the sets and Costumes. And on Opening night some of the American Guards and Officers would bring their wives or girlfriend to see the performance.
And at other POW camps, some German POWs were allowed to go to the local bakery, barbershop to get a haircut, to the local US Post Office to send letters home or to pick up a letter or package from home, go to the public library, or even the local high schools, community colleges or universities to get a better education if they do wished.
And even the US Government had their own reeducation programs but instead of it being forced, it was voluntary and they had German POWs who could read, write and speak English very well teach those classes to other Germans who were in the camps and wanted to learn English or get that better education.
And after the Ended, some of those former German Soldiers, Pilots, and Sailors, made the choice to stay in the States, or go back to Germany and return with their family to live in America. And it was just on how they were treated while they were in those POW Camps.
I didn’t know we took in German pow’s into camps in the 60’s …re-educated them and them let them and their families re-patriot here
My only question …during the 50-80’s American occupied area by the Berlin Wall but why take on so many German POW’s even after WW2 ?

There is such a thing as factual. No reason to put it in scare quotes.
If all this is true about how decrepit and worthless the Russian army is, WHY ARE THEY WINNING? They're basically winning against a force that is funded, supported by, and given 120billiong dollars worth of equipment by 50+ other , western countries AND STILL WINNING.

Not only did the russians steal stuff from Chernobyl, their commander made them stop there and dig trenches and set up camp in the "red forest". The commander stayed inside the safe reactor area while his soldiers learned how to glow in the dark.
Russians occupied a barracks. They found a closet next to the washroom, chopped a hole in the floor and used that as a latrine...
you got that info from where?
@@tbird4a
Sorry, I haven't found the link specific about the commander, but troops disturbing the soil is documented in multiple places.
The specifically disturbing part is that there are proper procedures for working in nuke contaminated places. "Real" armies know and practice them. This army did nothing but needlessly expose it's solders to the hazard. Since the accident was not reported inside russia, the young soldiers had absolutely no idea of what happened there (before their birth) and the risk they were exposed to. These soldiers were being sacrificed, just like the hundreds of thousands of "liquidators", people the soviets sent in with minimal protection to "clean up" immediately after the disaster (NOT an "accident", it was an intentional "stupidity"). The "Clean up" process was collect and bury objects and exposed surface soil. Buried objects that could have been disturbed by the trench builders ...

Spot on, most of it. And, not least, ironic and funny! Thanks! Slava Ukraina!
IN 1945 when the Russians invaded Germany . The locals were amazed when soldiers stole water taps . Stuck them in walls expecting water to come out !
In Finland, "ryssiä" which is a modification of a borrowed word, we use it to say that someone fail on something because of their own stupidity.
And also when talking about russians failing on something because of stupidity...
Ivan green reactor water from Chernobyl is very healthy! :D
This is the best vid for long time😂thx
kangaroo is perfectly fine, its a really lean meat with a lot of flavour...... if you aren't a starving peasant who's lived off potatos and canned food for the past 16 years otherwise you're lucky your camo has brown patterns
Just couldn’t resist the “down under” joke :)
I had kangaroo, very delicious.
Kangaroo needs to be quickly hot seared - if cooked slowly it turns to leather. The Russians could sole their boots with it. The tail is popular with Aborigines
Cook it like venision.
Been a while since I had it, but it seemed pretty gamey to me.
God damn it the cut away at 56 seconds or should I say blown away had me spit out my coffee😂
Raiders of the lost cause... 🤣🤣🤣
That vodka thing was pretty smart
I wonder why you don't have more subscribers. You made a good quality video and I hope to see more of these 👍
Appreciate it! Plenty more where this one came from :)
the reason he does not have more subscibers is that not everybody likes Ukrainian propaganda.
When the Red Guards went into the cities during China's Cultura Revolution, they were thrilled by the convenient "bowl washers" that they found in every bathroom.
In ww2 when soviets invaded my country they ate the toothpast thinking it was some sort of wierd tasting candy ,they allso stole wristwatches bc they didnt have any where they came from. There where a lot of stories like that. Allso when our country was occupied after ww2, the soviets who visited us from the rusland side called us " western communist state" bc we seems to have a lot more ans lot better then they had. Turns out nothing has changed in rusland ever since 1917 :D
Very witty analysis and commentary. Kudos!
Keep it up. This is good content. You got my subscription.
There was a minor "mistake" about Chernobyl: There was a complete battalion ordered to dig into a wood next to the nuclear graveyard. Some 100 soldiers were deadly contaminated. They were rushed to Belarus hospitals - only to die there.
I bet their family were told they died honourably for mother Russia, in Battle.
@Philip Croft Well they had to die a terrible death for nothing. Dig in into a large no go area was absolutely useless.
and you got this info from where?
@@tbird4a On German TV - and they got it partly from Belarus (they provided hospitals).
A lot of russian wounded are treated in Belarus as putin does not want their people know the high rate of casualties@@tbird4a
Holy shit, they stole petemkin
Maybe the tomb was just a facade.
@@HooDatDonDar pun intended
The term " Nation of thieves ' gets thrown around a lot, but in this case, it's accurate.
Kangaroo meat is edible but tough. The Potempkin villages were not build to impress outsiders but Catherine the great.
Damn Russian women told there husbands/boyfriends/brothers to join the military fight in a war and risk there lives for some lipstick
You deserve a lot more subscribers!
You make quality content.
Thanks! They’re coming, I think 🙏🏻
@@icarusproject I sure hope so, you really deserve it.
I heard they take the washing machines for spare electrical parts that could later be used in weapon making/repair. Not so sure about the toilets.
I guess that tea was to die for!
Looting is a war crime
So is killing civilians.
no it is not
auqiring from the civillian populus without jeprodizing their health is allowed by the geneva convention aslong as it is ordered fro m up top and is done in an orderly manner
@@tavish4699 but taking supplies or equipment from the enemy soldiers is a war crime.
@@JohnTavastian no hahaha
why would it
what are they gonne do with their ammo if you captured them?
you can take supplies as much as you want from the enemy all you need to do if oyu capture one is not hurt him and feed him and not force him to work
besides that you can do what the hell you want with him
@@tavish4699 don't ask me. It's prohibited by international law. You can read more about it if you care.
Need some more of this. You got yourself a new Sub. Give us more "news" from the front lines. 😂🇺🇦
funker530 have some helmet cam action and other kinds of videos, look it up
Excellent video
Nice Narration and Writing. with too many good parts to call a fav... Great Video... Held its own to the end.... 👏
I love the comedic aspect of this video while being informative. Best of both worlds.
"Measure their status not by what they can produce, but by what they can steal"
Is there any way you can do a video on how this applies to Chiiiiiiina stealing American.... well, pretty much anything?
0:50 lol
"Hope the tunes were good tho"
*music plays*
*boom*
New subscriber. Good video. That's why, worthy.
After the end of WWII there were cases of Russian soldiers stealing pipes with faucets from buildings believing that if the shoved them into their walls back home they would have running water.
when russian army was kicked out of Poland they took with them everything they could lift. radiators from wall, pipes, sinks, toilets, light switches, bulbs. ex. barracks were left empty to the naked bricks
You should never i mean never compare Russians to Vikings.
Cool and interesting video! Thanks. Even it seems to be sarcastic, the scary part - it’s built up on true facts.
Great sense of humour. LOVE IT!
Please upload more regularly your videos are amazing much love from your pal across the pond 🇬🇧❣️🇺🇸
Thanks so much! I just brought on an editor to help me crank them out faster. Love from across the pond! 🇺🇸🇬🇧
Please can you do a more video on the Chinese milita
ry industrial complex
Got some on the list!
Thank you so much for your reply it means alot your really crushing it with your videos keep it up your military/economic/social issues are so on point 👍
Hello to Britain from Am
erica.
The poison vodka is genius act. Every nation should distill a certain amount of methanol into legit bottles In case of invader like Russia was to come and try their luck.
Surely some marking should be used that No wrong person drinks it.
Or, for those countries who border Russia now. keep a supply of methanol handy to 'flavor your alcohol' just-in-case those Russkies invade your country there!
I used to post on a board for "preppers" before it got overrun by Trump douchebags. A lot of people on there were convinced that in a SHTF scenario they could just rely on raiding to get by. They figured that it would be easy to just roll up on someone's spot and take what they wanted by force or threat of force.I explained how raiding would get them killed 100% of the time. Say I'm a post apocalyptic farmer, doing my best to keep myself fed and safe from raiders. I'm going to have two storehouses for food. One that's easy to find and one that's hidden. The easy one will be stocked full up with food I've introduced the bacteria that causes botulism to. Botulism is great because it doesn't kill right away. Usually it takes 12 hours or more to show symptoms, depending on the dose received. So the raiders come in, threaten me if I don't give them food (which I "reluctantly" do), then run off felling pleased with themselves for a job well done. Then they eat. 12 hours later some of them are feeling a little uncoordinated. 24 hours later they're suffering paralysis, to include their heart and lungs. 36 hours later they're dead. If any survive and come back for revenge, they've lost the element of surprise and now they're working with fewer numbers.
Wells poisoned by retreating defenders have been a real thing for thousands and thousands of years.
When I was a teenager I knew a few guys who stole some methanol from a printworks, and drank it. Someone had told them that it was ethanol. It was used to clean the printers it was kept in un-marked plastic canisters, that were stored outside.
A few guys died, and a some got blind.
They were just dumb kids who wanted to get drunk. As we all did.
I am sure that if I had been at that party, I wouldn't have questioned wether it was ethanol.
My point is, dangerous chemicals should always be stored safely, and properly marked.
Yeah, they did something really stupid, but this tragedy killed a bunch of teens and devastated a small rural community and it could easily have been avoided.
It's like laying out landmines: you better make sure you know where those mines are, because there is going to be peace one day, kids are going to run across those fields.
@@JH-lo9ut I read your comment and I read it carefully. No sarcasm In my words I assure you.
I live In Finland, right next to Russia.
Those fucks has tried everything In their power to "de - exist" us when ever its mines, poison or politics. It seems through history they only fail, where we prevail. Yes we lost our territory but at what cost for them?
I think we would be ready to "mine" our fields with poison vodga, because a finn knows a legit liquor out of a mine liquor.
Btw I'm sorry about my bad English, I just graduated to process engineering and my phones autocorrect is helping me like my Best wingman
I'm the type of guy that would poison everything I own so looters may get sick when stealimg my stuff. Well, knowing I won't return back to my home intact, etc.
Just subscribed 👍
Great and very entertaining video
Thank you very much!
I think the Russian word is "smekalka". A clever solution to a problem. Like being savvy, or smart. But these Russian guys' version of smekalka seems to be a bit more like the Darwin awards kind of smarts. Please don't try to think, you'll only hurt yourself...
"Y u no steal bathing suit for me, Ivan?" I don't know whether to feel sad or infuriated.
"Anichka, I'll go down to the store in Srednyi and get you one. Next week it's only -41 C, oh happy days."
if there is electricity, even a small generator, a washing machine can work, hooked up to a barrel with water it sure will, long ago on a farm the old grandma had a toilet hooked up, the water tank could be filled from the outside, it was drained off to a small lagoon, my question is, how do they transport this stuff ? most conscripts come from far away places, that distances are enormous,
Im pro ukraine like anyone who wouldnt want his home country invaded but some of yiur criticisms are dumb. John deer tractor can be hacked, washing machine and toilet dont need communal water or sewer. Sewer can come from a septuc tank and water pressure can be achieved with a well sourced elevated water tank where gravity and or pressure tank creates the pressure.
Airpods and security camera were hilarious though.
it’s all fun and games ....
Until Russia loses an I-van
It's all shits and giggles until someone giggles and shits.
When ruzzia is pushed out of Ukraine, they will be laughed at for decades and become the butt of jokes.
I remember my great Uncle talking to an intellectual russia outside Berlin in 1945. The guy was fascinated by the " wonderfull living standard even "German Peasants" enjoyed. Their conversation was interrupted by a burst of gunfire, as a russian soldier whilst trying to wash his precious potatoes in a toilet found they got flushed away. He shot the toilet in anger. Then promptly repeated the mistake in a second toilet.
I served with HM forces during the cold war and met and talked to several "Soviet Soldiers" from non russian countries. One thing they taught me was russia was not the brains of the soviet union, but its arse-hole.
I found kangaroo very tasteful but if you eat emu eat it on a friday, that gives you all weekend to chew it before spitting it out on monday.
Like cooking a Galah.
To do so, the recipe is to put it in a cookpot, along with a decent sized stone, and set to simmer.
Checking every now and then, and topping up the water, you cook until the stone is soft.
You then throw away the galah, and eat the stone.
Emu is poisonous meat from the get go. It can't be cooked out. Kangaroo is a giant rat...even hard up Australians do not eat it.
We used to know a WW2 vet that was a kleptomaniac....His MO was to take German boots and stuff with whatever he could get his hands on and ship home. 90% of his loot apparently made it without issue. That INCLUDED 9 Lugers and a good pound of gold. When he met up with the Russians at the end of the war he would steal clothing and uniforms (US) and sell them to the Russians. According to him, they all had bags full of money, many not having been paid until the war was close to over.

Eating kangaroo is not only completely harmless, it's also good eating. Australia used to export a lot of kangaroo meat to Russia, Im not sure if we still do? Probably not since the war started... I used to eat a lot of kangaroo meat myself... it has a much higher protein level than beef and lamb. Anyway...
I have had Roo before, quite good. Especially the tail.
