Deserts are so much more inhospitable than pictures convey, you will literally die out there

Same time ?

@Logan You glow, bruh?

@Wood-Ape - OK/MN Bishkek, Kyrgyzstan

Our baby has radioactive spider powers

Just curious, why'd you guys go there of all places? Interest? Was just near by?

Wait that's China I think

@Nemets I think they are donkeys. Just plain old donkeys

Lmao at the mcdonalds popping up in the horizion

Did you guys see that giant pool shaped like a phoenix?

what are we talking bout now

Tf the structure is moveable ?

let me see if I can find a pic

Last year in Ukraine with some friends just goofing

@Logan they look like they've had a few drinks and they still don't give a fuck

The McDonalds

the title of that piece of art is also hilarious

What's it called?

And why is everything so cryptic?

"The letter to the turkish sultan"

@Flint this is probably Kazakhstan or China because there wasn't McDonald's in Kyrgyzstan

you could pretty much extrapolate the content of that letter from the picture

What a rowdy looking bunch of guys, I would not be comfortable in their company

same

i mean

if you understand what Cossacks are originaly

this would not surprise you

Conan the Barbarian levels of deceit

Cossacks were originally runaway peasants that settled on the frontiers and borders

because there would be no wealthy landowners in those parts

Selling wheat one minute, blades to your throat bartering your freedom the next...

Fuck yes I found that phoenix pic

Show the pic

and the govt of russia at first tried to capture some of them. but then they made a deal where they would protect the borders in exchange for freedom

I scrolled up, didn't see anything offhand

so they were basically peasants that were very tough and basically were vassals of the russian tsar

Just when I think I know history, you fellas bring me back down to earth

over time, they transformed into a more organized fighting force and became a crucial fighting unit of the cavalry

Cossacks exist even today

in fact, they are very right wing

I don't know Russian history at all outside of 1918 onward (and even then...)
