Does a fish know it’s wet? The biggest challenge I’ve always had in explaining Russian attitudes to people in the West, a task that has become significantly more important of late, is I often don’t know what I take for granted. Even after decades of living in the UK, it’s hard to separate my own personality from my Russianness.
Comedic comment posted now it’s time to comment on the video and it truly is well worth the watch.
“Do I smile less than British people because I am Russian or because I’m a grumpy fuck? Or are those two just the same thing?”
Is there a difference? 🤣
This has given me a much better understanding of how Russians think and the motives behind the invasion of Ukraine, thank you.
Fascinating! Here is the link to the video transcripts: https://ricochet.com/1214468/finnish-intelligence-officer-explains-the-russian-mindset/
I watched it myself 3 times and forwarded it about 50 times. Now all makes sense
Video narrated as if by a Colonel in the Finnish Military Intelligence. Real truth, of course! ;-)
Glad someone is finally paying attention
