-- Using April 1st as an excuse to post fake headlines, like the resurrection of Kissinger while he is still fortunately dead, will result in the poster being thrown in the gamer gulag and be sentenced to play and beat trashy mobile games like 'Raid: Shadow Legends' in order to be rehabilitated back into general society. --

So I know gambling is bourgeois decadence, but let's place our bets on the country he'll escape to when American funding dries up and Russia overruns Ukraine. I'm placing my bets on Poland.
It will definitely be Canada
How did I not think of Canada? It's really the perfect answer. There's so much precedent already.
Chrystia Freeland will certainly push for that.
I'm thinking he'll come infest my home shithole of
. There's a large amount of ukranian nazis, easy to keep on a short leash, but not directly in america itself. If it does happen I hope he like, gets hit by an average montreal driver.
or taken out by one of the enraged canadian ukronazis...
Split the difference? Bets on an enraged Ontario driver?
I can't wait for the Ukrainian Government-in-Exile to be set up in Edmonton
It was a group of Canadian-Ukrainian nazis who came up with the "holodomor" term btw. They didn't actually create the myth itself, but they're the ones who revived it and gave it a vaguely holocaust-sounding name.
Poland is getting pretty sick for being blamed for not sacrificing their entire economy and military for ukraine from all reports.
Canada or Germany
Well canada is a safe bet because they're known to be filled with ukrainian nationalists, but my dark horse is the US itself, specifically Miami, FL.
Gambling can be used effectively. Numbers games were often used as a lender of last resort in poor communities, with numbers readers sometimes even giving wins to people in need rather than who had the correct number. It can quickly devolve into obsession and addiction for some though, so it’s not an ideal, rather a decent survival method within marginalized communities.
perhaps Argentina?
