Imagine believing soldiers would steal washing machines of all things lmao. Like just picture some guy lugging one around along with 30+ kg of gear or trying to stuff it into the crew compartment of a BTR-80 along with himself and his squadmates.
The amount of money and effort that has been put into making Russia seem like an underdeveloped shithole would be enough accumulatively to make another Russia. People fucking believe it too, like the world's other superpower for the 20th century was just mideval peasants for the most part and/or all.ofmthar infrastructure just suddenly disappeared in the 90s. These people are morons
It's pure arrogance
That would be nice, but it's the result of an intentional and motivated result of over 100 years of dehumanizing Russians as a result of the cold war. The time this was the most true was under the tsars and there's no coincidence of that. There's arrogance as a result but the cause was a long existing concerted effort.
Even before the cold war mind you. This has been a thing since at least the crimean war.
You could go earlier even. Western Europe has always been wicked chauvinstic towards the east. I was gonna say fuckimg napoleon made that mistake but really he wasn't even the first either. Thers midevsl examples cause orthodox church and not catholic. Russians and Eastern Europe in general has always been given shit.
