Daily reminder that Russians don't give a trout
![]()
Guys, can we seriously discuss how it is that the Russian drivers were not troutting themselves? Are there any Russians on this forum? Seriously, because I would have been hiding under my seat crying.
Vodka.
Russian history in a nutshell:
Invaded by Vikings
Invaded by Mongols
Brutal serfdom
Invaded by Teutons
Brutal serfdom
Invaded by Polish-Lithuanians
Civil wars
Invaded by Turks
Brutal serfdom
Invaded by Germans
Vicious revolution and civil war
Failed to invade Poland and Finland
Brutal Soviets
Invaded by Germans (again)
On the receiving end of the most brutal war since the Tamerlane was in Syria
Decades of Soviet rule
Constant threat of nuclear annihilation
Soviets collapse
Oligarchic crony-capitalism actually reduces standards of living compared to the Communist era
What the hell is left to faze a Russian? Satan himself couldn't invade the place, and not even Slough is as unrelentingly grim. A second sun streaking across the sky doesn't even begin to register.

I'm sure Pike's video image was fake, Clo. I'm sure that all the Russians in that area were scared to their stomachs when they saw that meteor streaking through the sky and exploding; the sonic boom probably scared them more, though...
And we Americans, as well as other countries, also have dark histories of our own.
Is that your final answer?
