    How, as a Russian, do you watch the blowing up of a fictional children’s joy bringer as a good thing?

      Have you looked at our caps recently? … The badges on our caps… have you looked at them… they’ve got skulls on them. … They’ve actually got little pictures of skulls on them.

    That’s right up there with “Freedom Fries”. A weak and petty jab that nobody actually gives an F about other than the few people needing to compensate for their egos.

    This one became real dark when the Russians shot the Azerbaijani flight. This video was released days before that tragedy, no?

    Is Russia trying to be the bad guy? I’ve been told that everyone’s the hero of Their Own story, but this is making me seriously doubt that. These stupid fucks equate NATO with Santa and then depicted themselves killing him. This is literally the most bad guy coded thing I’ve ever heard of my entire life. This is like the most blatantly evil children’s cartoon villain thing they could have possibly done.

      “Santa” in the form you know it is a typical American holiday character. It made it’s way into Russia as well, but it is now used as a symbol of the west like it used to be. What for you may seem as good is something they may see as evil. They have their own “Santa”, as seen in the video, dressed more in the style of the Russian orthodox church.

      Too bad though Russia doesn’t know the difference between Santa in a sled and an Azerbaijani airliner.
