Hmmmmm better open this suspicious russian e-mail i just received

what? hacked? Who are these computer wizards?

He says his Mac, Galaxy S4 and Windows computer were all hacked, if they were up to date and he didn't stupidly open up a trojan are there even known un-patched exploits for those devices? Did Russia just decide to unleash a bunch of zero day exploits?

It's a loving meteor hurling toward russia, and all the guy does is put down his visor and not react at all.

Putin likes to take holidays in Sochi. He feels that these holidays are making him soft, so the solution is to dump $50b on the town and watch it completely implode

China is authoritarian the scary efficient way, whereas Russia is authoritarian in the corrupt and sloppy way. In China you get imprisoned or murdered if you speak against the government or if your department doesn't do its job well enough, whereas in Russia you only get imprisoned or murdered if you speak against the government.

pretty sure the athens olympics basically were a total disaster, but no athletes died or were torn apart by dogs on camera so we remember it fondly

Maybe they picked the shithole of russia to hold them in because they're in it for the long game. Send all their own shittiest atheletes, nuke the stadiums, blame it on the chechens, clean up all the medals in 2018.
