Russian technology.

I've always known that Russia is technologically behind most first world countries like America, the UK and France. Putin and his comrades hide behind their stockpile of nukes and go about sabre rattling because no one wants a nuclear war that will end the world. They are not only cowards, but also technologically inferior. In a conventional war without nukes, Russia will be annihilated.

another disgrace again

.

Their village people are really after them in this World Cup o.

Them chop 5 goals from Russia and now their plane wan crash.

Na wa o!

Lies, did you see any smoke there? this just light bulb showing under the wings.
