“It sank. 😏”
* V. V. Putin, 2000
When the widows of the submariners went to protest actions, demanding that those guilty of not helping the sailors be punished, Putin called them “whores for ten dollars.”
After reading the wiki on this and observing Europe doing the heavy lifting to save the sailors and not Russia. My hand was forced to play little mermaid – Under the sea in Putin’s honor.
Wasn’t there a Duracell or energizer commercial about the Kursk back in the 90s?
Promoted to a submarine. I mean… well.
We dutch salvaged it for russia, they thanked us several years later buy blowing a plane full of our citizens out of the sky.
I remember a video of a screaming family member during a hall meeting and someone came behind her and silently sedated her.
Well, that’s the personal loss that Russia has today in two and a half hours. Seemed big at the time, would be a random day today.
That’s nice! 👍
For jokes, somewhat technical discussion, history and some small talk about the Kursk, you can check: [Well There’s Your Problem | Episode 55: Kursk Disaster](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=39-S9-ZXzqA).
Jump [@22:00](https://youtu.be/39-S9-ZXzqA?si=WFVSQufJiNVMtpAn&t=1316) if you want to skip the podcast banter and some historic references.
This went the same way as Chernobyl and as the fire in the Cripple Horse nightclub and then in the Winter Cherry mall – corruption, not admitting any mistakes, not giving a single thought about the lives you can affect when you falsificate a safety check, when you’re scared to admit you fcked up..
The whole country still works like this.
Son of one of the submariners went to war and was killed.
Just think about it, it’s the same president who gave zero fcks about his dad and called his mum a “10$ hoe”, and dude just willingly and eagerly participated in the war, brainwashed and eventually killed.
