Cholera Defeating Russian Army
Russian troops are bravely drinking ‘cemetery water’ and dying as a result
There is a little-known part of the Russian psyche about which most in the world know little or nothing. It is like a secret escape hatch that ejects them from modern life, from success and sends them tearing backward to the unstable foundation from whence all Russians very recently came.
The escape hatch is called “self-destruction.” The self-destructive behavior that the majority of Russians commit is usually reserved for the men of the country. The women, while some do behave stupidly also, nevertheless demonstrate less destructive tendencies because they are the ones responsible for raising the kids and quite often providing for them. They are obligated to be more responsible.
The men, though, are free to just do stupid shit. The invasion of Ukraine is an example.
Just drink it
Of course, most people would be hesitant to drink water from a puddle — not Russian men, though. They would look down at a puddle, wash away some of the top dirt, and then sip away.
“Oh, go on, drink it. Nothing will happen to you. You are strong and on the move. The body needs water and any germs will be sweated out. Here, drink.”
