What's the idea behind this meme? That Russia is against tap-water or that Russia is a third-world shithole?

Because if the later, it reeks of western-white-colonialist supremacy. Blue countries have better infrastructure because they are colonial powers.

Oh and I absolutely drank water in Bulgaria. This is factually false.

Meanwhile, placing the US in the "drinkable country" where this happens is laughable:

No one would shit on Russia if they didn't constantly bomb the shit out of their neighbours and commit genocide as a part of their official strategy.

Love how you're getting downvoted for calling out a fascist meme, and people say this platform is "leftist". 🙄

Liberals always have been pro-war. It's good for business.

Canada should have an asterisc for all the reserves without clean water too. Of course not many tourists going to those.

It’s joking that they are against tap water
