The Intercept

 




No, this is not a new Zimmermann Telegram intercept, after which the United States were forced to enter WWI. But it is still quite interesting because it demonstrates the virtual world many of the Russian soldiers live in.   When I heard it in Russian on Feygin LIVE [24 min and 44 sec into the video], I could not believe it, I thought that I must have misunderstood, since it was full of slang and foul language. But then I found this link:

The corresponding interception was published on the evening of September 30 by Advisor to the Office of the President of Ukraine Oleksiy Arestovich on the air of the Feigin LIVE YouTube channel.


According to him, the interception included the reaction of Russian military personnel to the news that Ukraine had filed an application for accelerated entry into NATO. Some started panicking

“Do you know what I'm afraid of? (...) That the Americans will gather these warriors again: Stallone, Arnold (Schwarzenegger — edit.), this “Mr.Die Hard’’ (Bruce Willis — edit.), who else is there ... But now they can come up with such an idea! That’s the end for us… I don’t know, Michael Douglas seems to be here in Russia. Maybe he'll come for us. There will still be some chance then,” the Russian soldier said in the interception.

Here is the same video [25:12]  with the English voiceover. The obscene language is partially translated.

It does not seem to be a fake.
