Du är medveten om Vodkans roll i rysk kultur va? I viss utsträckning kommer du inte undan att dricka, de formligen trycker ner flaskan i halsen på dig, innan du klivit ur sängen.
Därmed inte sagt att det var fel att ge honom kicken. Men ändå, "just another day in Russia".

Hörde en bekant som är militär som varit på officiellt besök i Ryssland. Vodkan serverades i dricksglas och att tacka nej fanns inte med som ett alternativ.
Lite ur förhören/protokollet som ingen verkar orkat läsa (finns ganska mycket mer som när generalen försökte komma upp på scenen med bandet, när han började babbla om Snowden och Syrien, när han förolämpar översättaren, när han försover sig och försenar programmet, skyller på att han haft tjejer på rummet, när han skryter om sitt ansvarsfulla jobb på fyllan osv osv..)..:
When asked if alcohol was being pushed to the delegation, Mr. XXXXX stated, "
No it was not being pushed at all, and the Russian side did not imbibe heavily; they, they had, you know, they, they were having,
they were sipping their shot glasses." Additionally,.Mr XXXXXX stated that, "one could even put a hand over the shot glass and the servers would not refill it with vodka, and nothing was said."
Lt Col XXXX stated that even
the RF delegation lead was drinking water during the event: I think it was the drink to the military, then drink to the family members or women and drink to uh, the fallen .. on those everybody usually drinks and then she said on the other ones like the Russian General across from us,
he would pour water in his shot glass and he would say I'm in charge so I need to be sober today"

When we got to Red Square and other places
he had to hold on to the pillars, the columns that were around us. Um, it, it, it almost seemed like, um, like well, should I be, um, holding his hand or something. You know? And it was obvious
that he did not want to walk around Red Square that afternoon, that evening because he couldn't.

"And the Russians were looking at him like "are you crazy"?" (Ex 16:26)
"When the conference was done and we were in the airplane I didn't want to have anything to do with him." (Ex 18:27)
"went into my hotel room and hid there until the next morning because I didn't want to end up in another situation like the night before." (Ex 20:20)
