Did they ask Musk to do it?

[–] [email protected] 58 points 5 months ago

Who do you think suggested the idea to them? $10 says Elon directed Russia straight to a backdoor. He's been itching to see Ukraine fail this whole time, I wouldn't put it past him to directly interfere in such a way.

I think they can ask muskrat directly, he would do it

It's interesting the lengths Russia will go through to win this without becoming a half-decent country.

[–] [email protected] 9 points 5 months ago (6 children)

But it is half-decent, look at their metro & compare it to America's

Fucking Mussolini was said to have made the trains run on time again.

Even if that were true, that doesn't make him half decent.

Who said I was simping for Putin

[–] [email protected] 15 points 5 months ago* (last edited 5 months ago) (1 children)

Well, what about if we compare 'factories not on fire' or 'citizens lost on the battlefield in the last year (month)' or even 'incidents of explosive drone attacks'?

Are they still half decent?

[–] [email protected] 3 points 5 months ago (1 children)

Actually yeah they are half-decent, not even kidding

I don't, why do YOU simp ?

I mean that's more because America's metro fucking sucks. My country has better and I'm literally from a third world country.

[–] [email protected] 9 points 5 months ago (1 children)

That is Moscow and Saint-Petersburg.

Show me the Metro of Sotschi.. or any other second class Russian city.

Russia has literally only 2 Cities partially on western standard. I think most dictatorships manage this, even North Korea.

It's everywhere in Russia, the point is Russia is half-decent not like what the American kool-aid would have you believe, that is all there is to it No politics here, case closed

The grass is always greener on the other side

by chicago you mean new york and chicago and such. America does quite well. russia has 7 metro systems while the us has 16.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 5 months ago (1 children)

& all 16 look like toilets & those metro systems are dysfunctional considering how car-dependent US is

[–] [email protected] 2 points 5 months ago (1 children)

how are they dysfunctional? Chicagos system works quite well and dc's one was somewhat decent. Having some fancy chandeliers does not make a metro system good.
