I think there are many more Russias than only two.

From Moscow, to other modern rich cities, to smaller cities that are little different to what they where in 1980s to villages with African level of infrastructure.

St. Petersburg, aka Cultural Capital of Russia. As well as Moscow residents, they are not just your average russians. They are arrogant vampires sucking the blood of the whole country as well.

All of the above is nothing but a joke.

Like do you think there's this ancient cult or lineage of gays passing down gay secrets from one generation to the next and now that will all stop? What do imagine happens in these gay cult meetings?
Terrible, horrible, unspeakable things.

Sorry, couldn't resist. :P

Carry on. /offtopic

What I said about bipartite Russia was also a joke, by the way.

As someone who has to deal with russian turists every year, I can confirm that is not a joke.

Then you get cities like Paris where you should basically just kill yourself already.

This thread, and many others. Are actually teaching me something about Russia, and helping me learn to communicate with other cultures. This forum in general is helping me communicate with people of different beliefs, which is a good thing. Just thought I'd say that.

Carry on.

A certain colonel by the name of Cassad has informed the general public recently that the Ukrainian forces are preparing for a new attack, which will reportedly start on the 15th of this month.

Are they actually leaking the very date of when they'll attack? Sure they might not be able to completely hide the preparing for an attack, but to actually have the scheduled date be leaked? That either speaks of incompetence or a bluff.

Or I'm completely misunderstanding/misinterpreting something here.

Is that a DF reference? If not, then zinc coffins, wut?

Zinc coffins are the usual containers for transporting bodies across borders, for example those of soldiers who were KIA.
It's a standard expression in German - 'Zinksarg'. Is it not known in the US? I'd've thought Vietnam would've popularized the term.

The date is likely to be accurate, given that Cassad is more or less the official voice of Novorossiya (which does not prevent him from telling at least some unsightly truths about it) and gets his information from, among other sources, the Novorossiyan intelligence.

As for the zink coffins, I am afraid it's not the Donbassians who need to make them, considering how well most of Kyiv's attacks went so far.

People will be killed on both sides. I see no reason to be exited about news of that kind. Those are grim jokes you're making, fellows.

I was just wondering what helgo meant by zinc coffins since the only time I've heard of zinc coffins is in DF.
