    Is Russia trying to be the bad guy? I’ve been told that everyone’s the hero of Their Own story, but this is making me seriously doubt that. These stupid fucks equate NATO with Santa and then depicted themselves killing him. This is literally the most bad guy coded thing I’ve ever heard of my entire life. This is like the most blatantly evil children’s cartoon villain thing they could have possibly done.

      “Santa” in the form you know it is a typical American holiday character. It made it’s way into Russia as well, but it is now used as a symbol of the west like it used to be. What for you may seem as good is something they may see as evil. They have their own “Santa”, as seen in the video, dressed more in the style of the Russian orthodox church.

      Too bad though Russia doesn’t know the difference between Santa in a sled and an Azerbaijani airliner.
