Russian invasion of Ukraine

Who bombed the pipeline?

Wasn't me, I was working.

My mate lives in Bali and the place is swarming with the cunts. Has hugely pushed up rental values in the space of a year.

Turkey was the same when I was there recently. Also lots of young Russians meeting their older relatives there because they can't or don't to go back into Russia.

Going in 3 weeks
Are they acting Billy big Bollox or are they the decent ones escaping?

Early on my trip yet but they seem rich and a bit show offy, but reasonably quiet.

However, I did a bit of research and although they are all over Thailand and especially Phuket there are certain places to especially avoid.

Hope I'm not about to spoil your plans, but I've been led to believe you really need to avoid the south of Phuket and especially Phuket town.

Obviously I haven't been so can't confirm.

What’s so unappealing about this is an absence of any sense of negativity towards the prosecution of the war itself, just a manifest desire not to partake in it personally. Given their ability to escape and fund their lifestyles over there, they will be a couple of rungs below the real powerbrokers in Russia, and will not want to risk that state of affairs when things settle down (assuming they eventually do).

It’s both selfish and spineless. Not a good look.

Hope they're not in my hotel ..
Nonce cunts..

A lot of hotels are ruSSian owned in Phuket. Great way of hiding ill-gotten gains.

What has also dawned on me over here amongst them all is the total lack of culture they have and the lack of anything they add to the world.

They outnumber everyone here in the resort I'm in, but they sit glum faced in Irish bars, English bars, English music playing everywhere, Italian restaurants, Indian Restaurants, Chinese Restaurants, but guess what there is fuck all Russian. Nothing at all. They even all where foreign clothing.

Never thought about it before, but they add fuck all to the world.

I think it’s fair to say that given the size of the country their cultural impact for the last 100 years has been relatively limited.

This, and what you posted, may go some way to explain their crippling insecurity.

I'd argue their inability to wield cultural influence lost them the cold war tbh.

It think that’s a very well observed point.
