I thought they were massively flooded? I guess both can be true when you have a huge country.
- About 11% of the Earth's land is Russia. It is bigger than three of the continents, and within a whisker of the size of the fourth (South America).
  
  So you're saying it's big? /s
- Happened in Australia in the same location last year... They went from bush fires to flooding in a day.

- A fire? at the sea parks?
  
  At this time of the year?
I don’t know how, but I bet Putin will spin this into some pro war argument.
- He'll have to be inventive. It's literally on the other side of the country from Ukraine. The closest borders are Mongolia and China
  
  Ukrainian infiltrators started the fires using the jewish space lasers the Americans are raving about!
  (It's actually frightening, that only the reasonable part of that sentence is made up)
  
  He’s a resourceful guy. I believe in him.
putin has issued a warning promising fire that this will have consequences.
- I also just sort of assumed that that statement was total bullshit (although I have no idea for sure, or why he would say it if so.)
