I understand this is c/funny, but fsb is neither capable, nor organised enough to pull this off. It used to be when this joke has been come up with, but a few decades of corrupt alcoholism has all but left it disabled.
I guess all I'm saying this feels like it has alternative agenda to glorify russian crap, and those cunts do not deserve it.
isn't the message that the KGB torture people into false confessions, the FBI murder people first ask questions later and the CIA is kinda useless?
That messager is also there, but the main idea I got from this was that fsb is the cool, funny, witty guy.
Definitely wasn't the take away I got. It was much more "all 3 are useless in their own ways". It honestly feels much more in the same vein as "in Soviet Russia we have the right to arm bears" kind of humor, than anything glorifying them to me.
How is torture supposed to be cool, funny, or witty in any way..?
Not torture. The depiction of it.
Pretty sure it's a riff on this Joe Sacco comic from 1993 which has a much better punchline.
I'd expect both to be depictions of the same anecdote, Joe Sacco just did it with more artistic freedom
Last part is highly topical again...
Yup, the FSB found its rabbits
