"We're invading. Get in there and take.... Ottawa?"

Russian soldiers are experiencing something very like I imagine American soldiers would, should they be deployed against (all good forbid!) Canada.

"Wait, what?

They're our next door neighbor!

They look like us!

A lot of them speak intelligible English!

We vacationed there last year!

We're supposed to... what??? REALLY?!?!

No, really?

These aren't skeery faceless enemies in a strange, hostile-feeling place.

They're... neighbors. They're like us.

Why are we doing this?

WTAF?

Yeah, okay, I have my orders, I'm in the armored vehicle and we're heading toward (some Canadian city) but....

Oh hellz, they took the road signs down and the satnav's on the blink again...

Why did this nice Canadian lady... I mean this enemy civilian... just give me a handful of maple seeds?

And why is there a portable crematorium following me?"


Spare the average Russian grunt a moment of sorrow. Pretty sure they don't wanna be where they are.

thoughtfully,
Bright

So right on the mark! That's why some russian soldiers have already defected. They were sent to kill their relatives!

I probably have plenty of relatives still there.

Those Russian soldiers aren't being asked to fight for the survival of their families and their homes.

And they're up against Ukrainians who are doing exactly that.

This isn't gonna go well by any measure.

sadly,

places but very chilling in others.

*By the way, Canadian Bacon is not listed as an optional pizza topping in Canada. You'll
have to ask for "peameal bacon". And be prepared to place your order using both the
English and French languages.
