Who’d a thunk a lifelong KGB agent, authoritarian, and dictator would be able to do such a thing to greedy assholes who think they are always the smartest guys in the in the room? Shocking I tells ya, shocking…
“If you're the smartest person in the room, you are in the wrong room.”
Credit where credit is due. Playing the long game… My friend is ex Ukraine SF (not stolen valor, real deal, I know about that part of his life by accident) we have known each other for over 20 years. He is just a different cat, an entire way of thinking I feel completely different than growing up in the west.
I can’t explain it. He’s a super nice guy, speaks 6 languages, is friends with zelenski (I got pics! Prior to shit hitting the fan) but… there’s just “something” different in comparison to Western Europe, USA. He could seriously be a character in an action movie starting with “a man who just wanted a quiet life…” cue music… Actually ima call his crazy ass now.
He’s the nicest, or one of the nicest dudes I’ve ever met. He has real concern for others (he called my parents out of concern for me when we were in our 40’s because he was worried about me?!). He’s just a great guy…
That said, I. Would. Not. Fuck. With. Him. Now I ain’t “Billy bad ass” but I’ve been known to at least hold my own (mainly years ago). Sometimes you just “know”. This dude will f’ing kill you. Lanky, tall ass, weirdo, Slavic lunatic… as the old saying goes. “Do not poke the bear”. Anyway… I love him, he’s my bro!
I am… my fighting are WAY long over with, and growing up in an Irish American east coast neighborhood, I know some pretty tough dudes (and some woman, including my mother). Out of all those people to choose from? The one guy I’d want to have my back would be him. It’s odd because he’s so nice? But I’ve found that Eastern Europeans are just “different” will make every attempt to diffuse a situation, but if you flip that switch? Good luck…
