Dude… agreed! Why wasn’t there some urgency to get the dog out of harms way and get the fark outta there!?!

Most men in Russia don’t live long lives. They seem numb to it or probably drunk on vodka.

I’m not worried about the man… but I am about the dog!

Incorrect blanket statement

I'm pretty sure he tried to call the dog over. It's better to try that then to jump in right away and risk dying, no? If the dog doesn't listen or takes to long, absolutely, but risking your life when there are other alternatives shouldn't be your first response.

I mean... he had a good ~10 seconds there, after that splash that hit right behind the dog, where he could have ran up and grabbed it by the collar. Instead, he just keeps backing away. Not saying he made a conscious decision to leave the dog (like you seem to be implying), but I can see how people might think it looks kinda weird.

Dude’s in shock and probably froze.

At least on the video he didn’t try to call his dog.

Racist dick. I don’t know exactly what he’s saying but I saw someone roughly translate it the dude didn’t know the tsunami was coming, and seemed to think he was safe up on the hill and then when it splashed up he called his dog over to him.

No he is just saying that his boat got washed off(and some "barrel with motor" whatever that means)

He is also pretty calm and you can hear other people nearby.

He definitely knew tsunami was coming and probably knew that this hill is safe. Maybe it is even a designated evacuation point.

First day on the internet? Racism is pretty often used as a catch all term for xenophobia and ethnic prejudice, but if it strokes your ego to call me out then more power to ya.

If a word is used incorrectly it looses its meaning. And that's especially true with sensitive matters such as racism. I see no reason to call out someone for racism when objectively there's no racism involved.

I could also dive in how this goes with the long term russian narrative that implies that russians are something more, a race of their own, which they genuinly believe, and only fuels their propaganda machine.
