fan1708026165044511696: "God, do they even realise how stupid this sounds? So many people are living their lives in the war, not sitting in London telling us how patriotic they are."

Exel: "Well, I almost believed it."

Bohdan Hudyma: "God... they asked a guy who played and lived in Russia after 2014 and didn't notice the war until 2022, and even after he left there, he went fishing and holidaying every summer with orkofootball players who will now support the war, he's a patriot, definitely."

Precious_rhino: "I believe it, I believe it".

Dan Balan: "Shame on you. It would have been better to just keep quiet. To sit in Britain and talk such nonsense."

Old man (Bor Bor): "I think a million pounds from Zinchenko to the Armed Forces is more useful than Zinchenko in a trench."

_Rost_: "I don't know how it works, but the further west you are from the Tisza, the higher the level of patriotism and civic awareness."
