#Humour makes getting a valid point across easier.
-------------------------------

In Estonia, a mom is visiting the zoo with her kid. Next to them stands a man who is drinking beer.

They are standing next to a crocodile pool.

The kid falls into the pool. Guy drops his beer and immediately jumps into the water and saves the boy.

Mom says "You're such a brave Estonian man! Thank you for saving my son!"

Guy says "I'm not Estonian, I'm actually Russian!"

Headline in the news the next day: "Drunk Russian steals crocodile's lunch!"

The carefully cultured Western personality, is it real? Nah!

From a private source:

Got a connection in Kiev, cant name source obviously as its a long term colleague from high school. He Says going outside has become dangerous. Lots of looting occurring, shootouts between different gangs (as over 20k guns were randomly given out) heard at night, lots of vandalism occurring. Goes to the local bazar and food stores (to get whatever he can get his hands on) with a handgun in his pocket. They didn't use the first ticket out of Kiev in February, now him and his family are stuck there. Says that the hryvnia isn't widely accepted anymore at small businesses, as it's mostly a dead currency. USD is accepted favourable or jewelry. A couple of days ago he had to give $40 USD for two bags of potatoes and 1lb of beef.

Yes, my country too, and yes we tend to be arrogant, greedy, and selfish. And proud of it!

#Ukraine Great article - Who's side are you really on? Do you really know all the facts? I bet most that have the Ukrainian flag on their profile, don't! I've conversed with a few, and those few didn't. They just go with the propaganda without seemingly knowing that it is propaganda. Oh, well …

@101101000 Always has got to be the US fucking around in parts of the world it has no business as is the UK! And most of us in the West are lemmings/sheep taking the news as truth. We haven't learned our lessons from as early as Iraq that we were lied to.
