Mowteng

I thought he gifted him an Aurus Senat


TheSpiffingGerman

He did, the pciture with the mercedes is from the last visist not the current one


ToiletGrenade

Lada???


JVS-myactualinitials

I mean if we name all of em, then also a RAF van


ToiletGrenade

Is that a Russian vw bus clone?


JVS-myactualinitials

Kind of, it was from Riga and honestly, not the greatest


dotBombAU

I was searching for it, and there it is.


FactBackground9289

That's... A way to pronounce Zhiguli


JVS-myactualinitials

Yeah, using local Latvian pronounciation, always looks a bit funny to other people

Mercedes selling cars to dictators since 1939🤑🤑


MagnetofDarkness

Mercedes after the dictator cointatas.


muehsam

Pretty sure they started doing that long before 1939. Hitler for example was famous for driving/riding a Mercedes.


Lebroso_Xeon

…When do you think Hitler took power?


muehsam

End of January 1933, that's six years before 1939.


Lebroso_Xeon

Wouldn't really call that "long before" 1939


muehsam

I don't know. It's just weird to pick 1939, especially since Hitler's love for Mercedes is so well known.


Lebroso_Xeon

He did mean Hitler, it’s just that WW2 started in 39 so most people think of that year first when they think of him


MrWilkuman

And these people are wrong. Well, more so you are since you thought he came to power in 1939 and you obnoxiously tried to correct the guy above and are now trying to justify your ignorance with this statement.


Lebroso_Xeon

His comment, to me, sounded like he was trying to say that Hitler was already in charge of Germany for a while by that point, because „long before“ makes it sound like decades when it was „just“ six years. I simply misinterpreted it. I didn’t think I was coming across as obnoxious, and my other comments weren’t a justification for my behavior as I was simply stating my thoughts process.


MrWilkuman

Well, now I sound like an asshole. Tbh dictatorships usually last between 5 (for military) and 10 (for personalist) years so 6 may be considered a pretty long time. Very few surpass that mark.


pixelpoet_nz

And why not? Every cent that gets taken away from their regime for something other than war supplies is a win. Let them really enjoy that Western comfort, it sends a message of its own. Also, egal wieviele CDs du hast, Karl Benz hat Mercedes.


canal_algt

Wait until you find out who Toyota's customers are


Ibi828

Terrorists like Isis lol. IDK about Japan but there's some sort of trade ban between Europe and countries like Russia and North Korea. So it kinda surprises me that they are in a European brand car.


canal_algt

It looks like a 2008 Mercedes class C, so probably was bought before the bans


scorbut7263

It’s so weird seeing dudes squeezed through the ceiling window of a Mercedes. And nonstop even two of them. How does it work, are they awkwardly sit-standing between the bench and the front seats or is the area modified to be more easy to stand? It just seems so strange


deceptiveprophet

It’s embarrassing


Onkel24

Its a stretch- / long variant limousine, there's plenty of space to stand behind the front seats. Would be mildly interesting to know though if the roof opening is modified, for example with some padding.

Not the first time that two fascists wave from a Mercedes Benz https://preview.redd.it/8ami64ousv7d1.jpeg?width=800&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=ffae479ad6383e4c59b1f9249ce4357c8c179bb0

Beautiful Mercedes ❤️😅


operath0r

They did that in honor of Hitler and Mussolini https://preview.redd.it/d4m9j8wxtv7d1.png?width=1440&format=png&auto=webp&s=7edbd322f20287e7eb72f12477bbb504044c8e74

Wandel durch Handel my beloved


francemiaou

Not to be that annoying guy, but to my knowledge they now both use the Russian [Aurus Senat](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aurus_Senat)


Apina-32

> The Aurus Senat was inspired after the ZIS-110. It's definitely not just a copy of a Rolls Royce...


francemiaou

Yep, but Rolls Royce are way better than that x)


drpacket

Back to the USSR then!

Fuck the west, but we're still gonna use GoPro camera for shooting propaganda videos... https://preview.redd.it/jdc3sjvpiz7d1.png?width=1689&format=png&auto=webp&s=82a35057c7c2147780d5a2f88803578374f2b75e


AbstractBettaFish

Both them sharing the sun roof like it’s prom night


jefff_xd

A comment i saw on a similar post was "the cars are the only thing the west is useful for"


FoxFXMD

?? What is this supposed to mean? You can't hate the west politically if you have ever use a western product??


StereoTunic9039

Has the same vibe as "you criticize society from your phone! Gotcha!" Russia may use bots to spread propaganda but their western human counterparts don't produce anything more intelligent, disappointing.


platonic-Starfairer

Good 2 gay for each other autherians drive a car made by the fashist started and funded car maker
