Well, I don't know what may have happened then... Perhaps the Russians that came to Brazil were from a better batch than your average Russian

I've only met one nice russian person tbh. even going back to high school days all the russians would only hang out with other russians and always try to act 'tough'. not to mention their language sounds so angry lol. this wouldn't be the first time they took down a plane (killing then polish president).

How about KAL 007 in 1983. Fucking nut jobs thought it was a pretext for nuclear war.

Seriously I have met a very few cool Russians, and even then they seemed sort of slimy.

I got into a heated debate with one a few months ago (a friend of a friend) about nuclear disarmament, he swore that the program to turn former Russian warhead pits into fuel was a ploy by the US to weaken and disarm the Russians and that we were scumbags for trying to take away their nuclear weapons.

It was insane. He couldn't be reasoned with. When I told him that the Russians offered this program for money he said "you obviously must have tricked us, because we wouldn't have done it the way you are doing it!"

Total now 298 including 15 crew.

There were 189 Dutch people on board. Furthermore, 44 Malaysians, 27 Australians, 11 Indonesians, 9 Britons, 4 Germans, 4 Belgians, 3 Philippines, 1 Canadian, 1 New Zealander. 4 people unknown nationality.

If Russians are fucked up, it's because of the generations of genocide, internment, and complete fucking brainwashing, not to mention that the parents of today's Russian youth endured their immense nation turning into a 3rd world Superpower nearly overnight. Even Dostoevsky noted (ha) this very same instability over a century before, with swaths of listlessness and alcoholism depicted in Crime and Punishment. It has not been a nice region for a very, very long time.

There's nothing that opens the door to far-right idiocy quite like massive economic collapse. It takes forever to heal.
