Four people were killed Thursday when a tourist submarine sank off Egypt’s Red Sea resort city of Hurghada, according to a Facebook post by the Russian embassy in Egypt.

    I’ve been inside a “submarine” like that before in Egypt and if one of the windows break, you are pretty fucked.

      You can visit closed parts by bribing guards so imagine the maintenance on these attractions.

        They were people who either were in support of the genocide of Ukrainians or angry that the attempt to conquer Ukraine was done in a manner far bloodier than they had hoped for.

        There are Russians who aren’t in either of those two groups, but they are very few – among the ones I know, about 5%. Those who aren’t in those two groups cannot stand the rest of the Russians and would definitely choose a submarine ride where they are the only Russian.

        In other words: since they were many Russians in the submarine, and not people from a lot of various countries with one or two Russians among them, they were definitely actively or passively supporting a war of genocide.

        I would not accept hating all Russian citizens, because I do have a couple of very good friends that are Russian citizens and are absolutely unambigously against what the Russia is doing. But, those are a very surprisingly tiny minority among the people of the Russia 😢

            I spent two months in 2015 in Ukraine, then hitchhiked some weeks in the Russia. Almost all drivers kept telling me how Ukraine is a failing state, how their roads are full of bandits, how Ukrainians hate speakers of Russian language and torture them or how Ukraine “has been bombing Donetsk”. And when I told them I had spent that long in Ukraine because I found love there and that my Ukrainian girlfriend’s mother tongue was Russian and our sole language of communication both between each other and with the society around was Russian they kept saying the same:

            " The Ukrainians only showed you what they wanted you to see". To me telling that I had been spending plenty of time alone doing shopping or whatever, and hitchhiked all around the western third of Ukraine, they tended to say “clearly they still didn’t show you their true self”.

            It’s not something they were saying against their real knowledge. It was very clearly what they “knew” to be true.

            They do a seriously big effort to actively maintain an illusion in their head that their country is in the right, and they are truly supportive of its actions. It’s not all of Russians, but it is 90 % of them. Or at least 70 % even according to the research most good-looking for them. It is a nation gone mad. If you read their study books for mathematics or Russian language and see how full they are of propaganda about Russian history, it’s clear where that comes from.

            If they went to Russian school, their brain is rotten for good. Unless they are an exceptional personality. In which case they have already emigrated.
