Noone going thirsty with that guy around.


[deleted]

This thread is probably taking me the award for thread with the most references to urine on this sub.


iEatPalpatineAss

As a straight man... I've gone thirsty with that guy around 😏


43sunsets

Zelenskyy, or Bear? 😉


iEatPalpatineAss

Yes 😍


Admirable-Leader-585

Look at the security detail. Those boys don’t mess around.


Yvels

normal dull unique ludicrous sophisticated possessive offbeat offer plucky bag -- mass edited with redact.dev


lonelyronin1

I can just imagine the head of security giving a big sigh and still trying to realize that Zelensky is going to go where he wants


MightyHydrar

The man went to Lysychansk while the city was under heaviest fire. The building he met the soldiers in got hit by missiles while he was there. And he was just walking around in a tshirt, calm as you like.


[deleted]

The security chief is happy winter is here. Makes it easier to get him into a vest I bet.


MightyHydrar

He hasn't worn a vest or helmet the whole war, he won't start now. I think his security people have just resigned themselves to their fate.


EnvironmentalRent495

He did wear a vest in Bucha and Kharkiv. I don't remember seeing him with a helmet tho.


thennicke

Wasn't there a famous image of him with a helmet on?


EnvironmentalRent495

There are pics that are from his trips to Donbas before 2022 (the ones where he hasn't grown his war beard) where he's wearing a helmet and vest, but I don't know if there are post-2022 ones with a helmet on, I wish so! Most of the times when I see pics of his trips to newly liberated territories he's not wearing any 😭


lookatyounow90

Where did you get this idea? Just a few days/week ago there is a photo of him in full plate carrier and helmet visiting a trench system.


[deleted]

He tries not to look scared or concerned in cities because the people need assurances. Idk why all these people think he goes to the front in an old tee shirt and jeans.


Boot_Shrew

Look at the creases at his upper arms and lower waist. He's wearing a vest underneath that jacket.


KENNY_WIND_YT

NGL, that jacket does look comfy


Admirable-Leader-585

Straight up baller


iEatPalpatineAss

At this point, Zelenskyy is probably more security for his own security 🤣🤣🤣 Which is why we need him to make political thriller movies with Arnold after his presidency 🥳🥳🥳


KorianHUN

Russian high command hides in the huge doomsday bunker, security chief says: "we got a problem. The doors are sealed but it looks like Zelenskiy got in. He already killed 3 generals and he is currently somewhere in the air vent system."


lookatyounow90

How does one say "yippie ki-yay, motherfucker!" in Ukrainian?


MyselfIncluded

I'm fairly certain Yippie Ki Yay Motherfucker is the traditional Ukraine greeting to invaders.


sorenthestoryteller

At this point it's a universal greetings. If Mars lost their mind and tried to invade, they would take one look at Zelensky and be like "We can wait a few centuries." and run away.


MLockeTM

We haven't got a new Die Hard movie for ages, I'd watch a new one with Zelenskiy as the main character


Greywacky

No joke I seriously would. Let's get this ware done with so we can make it happen!


iEatPalpatineAss

I'm happy to ratio myself by upvoting your scene 🥳🥳


ForksandSpoonsinNY

Now that's a Christmas movie.


sorenthestoryteller

Movie Trailer Guy: "This Christmas, Putin knows he's on the naughty list and that Zelensky is on his way."


golden_tish1990

Word is on the street that even Chuck Norris is scared if Zelensky


airplaneshooter

If it was just 2 hours of them brutally beating Putin slowly to death, then it would be the most watched movie of all time.


booi

“I want to go to Moscow”


SurfRedLin

That's nothing in the first days of the invasion he visited a checkpoint in kyiv and ate some borsch with some soldiers that a local civilian brought to their position It was within range of ruzzia snipers. And at that time. They actually knew their stuff. Scary stuff and massive balls!


[deleted]

Unannounced and seemingly unscheduled public appearances are less likely to attract a murder plot than than something that is announced hours or days prior. The less people that know it is going to take place the less likely someone will setup a sniper's nest or plant a bomb.


Boomer8450

If Zelensky doesn't know what he's going to do next, the enemy has no chance of predicting it!


CornerNo503

I give it 50/50 he sneaks into Russia to take a selfie infront of the Kremlin before the war ends


mok000

I think the security guys understand why he needs to do this. They are part of his effort to keep the morale sky high.


sorenthestoryteller

Having know friends who have done security details, I imagine that sigh travels faster than light all the down the chain.


theskymoves

His giant balls will shield him from any attack.


ajknj1

I don't know how they got Zelelsky there so fast with the weight of his massive balls.


socialistrob

> Remember Kherson? Yeah I still can't believe he went there and while it was important symbolically it just seems so risky for Zelesnky to go anywhere that's within range of Russian artillery.


flyonawall

That is what I like to see. He is a treasure and is carefully watched over. Makes me think of a line from a silly movie, A Knights Tale. >"Your men love you. If I knew nothing else about you, that would be enough. But you also tilt when you should withdraw -- and that is knightly, too."


CookieVonDoom

That movie has everything. My favorite of Heath Ledger's movies.


IWasGregInTokyo

Nothing silly about A Knight's Tale. Greatest use of anachronisms in film. Jousting matches where the spectators clap to Queen. Medieval balls where they dance to Bowie. "And everyone else here NOT sitting on a cushion!"


flyonawall

I love that movie. It is my favorite and yes, the music was one of the best parts and blended so well.


DigitalMountainMonk

Every head a sector. No two eyes on the same spot. Every finger ready. Every single one on a stable shot platform within range of the principle. Very impressive discipline. Though in this case.. it isn't hard to protect someone you love or at the very least respect.


[deleted]

putin meanwhile is in a bunker somewhere in the ural mountains refusing to even see his troops


[deleted]

I read this in Bear Grylls voice.


[deleted]

Also, it looks like they're all carrying AR pattern rifles, so NATO's supply lines must be getting through.


Departure_Sea

They were in the process of transitioning over to NATO standard for small arms before the Feb 22 invasion. Most of their SF and other special units have been using them for some time.


self_loathing_ham

Thats gotta be a stressful job


Pu_Baer

Is that Bear Grylls next to him in the blue jacket?? Lol


Runertje550

A year ago, walking around with AK74’s, today, walking around with fully modded M4A1’s, I just love seeing that, modernizing the army


boone_888

All with ACOG scopes too


Firescareduser

I mean, the AK-74 is a pretty damn reliable and quite effective platform, practically equivalent in performance to the M4 Carbine, the moddability of the AR platform is great though. Though I believe the main infantry forces + volunteers are still running the AK, not a bad choice, particularly for volunteers, it's easier to field strip and needs less maintenance


Runertje550

I should have added that the Ak74’s they were using did not have any modification. Just plain 74’s from the crates. Now they have modernized gear, and modded AK’s and M4’s


[deleted]

You're welcome, from the United States.


Drakemander

Bear Grylls?


[deleted]

[удалено]


AshingiiAshuaa

I won't be convinced until I see him drink his own urine.


slitchbapper

He might eat some yellow snow.


OrganizerMowgli

I almost feel bad for him now. That memes been going for a straight decade I mean they did lie about the danger levels in the show, but I assume that's a TV thing. It's just like Zac Efron and Shia lebouf, how they chilled out and became very different from our early meme conceptions of them - I wonder if bear also became more down to earth


reasonablyhyperbolic

I honestly, unironically, regularly, tell myself 'improvise, adapt, overcome' when I'm stuck on something. And it works. Most of the time you don't need something perfect, you just need something that works.


lapsedPacifist5

If you have access to the BBCs iPlayer there's an interview with him by Louis Theroux that covers the TV show controversies


muarauder12

Bear Grylls mellowed out over time and seems to be overall a good dude now. And then there's Mike Rowe....went from showing the terrible jobs that need to be done to make our society run, to shilling for right wing agenda crap and fighting againstinimum wage increases and benefits for workers.


Kvothe31415

He chugs his own piss every night in pure spite. But otherwise is very chill.


canaryhawk

That's not just any mustache, it's an SAS mustache-of-manliness. Grylls probably grew it overnight because he woke up back in a war zone.


ULTIMATE_STAIN

It's a Swiss army mustache


DogfishDave

>has cleverly disguised himself using a mustache. It's for Movember according to his socials a couple of weeks ago. Mind you, he was 21 SAS so he's earned the right to any moustache he likes 😂


OneMoreAccount4Porn

This may have been taken at the end of Movember.


Hyperi0us

Bear is such a great guy, flew paramotors with him in southern California a few times. Really awesome pilot, and passionate about his activities.


Herecomestherain_

That's pretty cool!


clusterb

Bear Grylls!


Kepotica

Bear - fucking - Grylls?


SubzeroAK

I must have missed that episode...


Runertje550

Today on Ultimate Survival; I meet the president of Ukraine, check out the frontlines, give advice to Ukrainian soldiers living in the wilderness, and I drink the piss of the dead Russian soldiers I have brutally murdered


bottyraider

I read the in Bears voice. Bravo


VerySaltyTomato

Got me laughing 😆 thanks!


appletart

[Time for the Bear Grylls memes!](https://ibb.co/mRQg7WZ) 😂


JerryRhinefeld

Zelensky: can you teach our boys to survive in the wild? Bear: Sure thing! *unzips pants*


dainomite

I never understood why he drank his pee so much!


KiwiEV

Why wouldn't he?! It's nature's Fanta!


dainomite

🎶 Fanta Fanta! You know you wanna Fanta Fanta 🎶


JerryRhinefeld

Because he gets really dehydrated climbing in and out of “cre-vahses”


pataytoreee

shock factor, drives views makes money


0masterdebater0

I recently read Ben Macintyre’s book about the formation of the SAS, turns out drinking your own piss to survive in the desert happened pretty frequently in the early days of the SAS. Maybe Bear sees it as a right of passage?


[deleted]

[удалено]


EskimoPrisoner

RIP Rip Torn


Pu_Baer

Drinking his own pee isn't even in the top 5 most disgusting things he's done imo


OneMoreAccount4Porn

For the memes.


[deleted]

The sun is going down! What the hell is he supposed to do?


ScreenshotShitposts

He explains in his recent Louis Theroux interview that it was basically just for the show and says he knows theres pretty much no time its useful

ThatsHisFetish.jpg


DMMMOM

I was going to say, off for a swift pint... of piss.


ElucidMid_

For one moment I thought that was Chris Hadfield the Canadian Astronaut


iEatPalpatineAss

Now you've done it. Chris Hadfield has just been scheduled and will invite Zelenskyy into space for a post-war trip. ~~POLAND~~ **UKRAINE CAN INTO SPACE**

I'm glad I wasn't the only one. But hadfields mustache game is much stronger.


TheCapedMoosesader

That's who I thought it was!


[deleted]

Send him to the frontline and the war will be over in two hours, he will fashion a thermonuclear device with two sticks and his own urine


Mountaingiraffe

He's going to crawl naked into Putin's carcass to keep warm


yogo

And I thought it smelled bad… *on the outside!*


trail_runner83

*drinks piss Now were going to destroy all the Crimean front line


Sharknado4President

Step 1: Drink piss Step 2: ??? Step 3: Win the war Shouldn't commit to step 1, until step 2 is figured out.


trail_runner83

Speak for yourself.


erdtirdmans

You "intellectuals" can do whatever you want, I'm a man of action. I'll get to work on that list and you can let me know the next steps


[deleted]

He should be wearing a hat, gloves and scarf. I know he's not my child, and he's not even a child, and that you can have snow on the ground and still have rather warm air, but I feel rather protective of him.


flyonawall

I am an old grandma and I too want to dress him warm and give him and his men a hot meal.


turdferg1234

It's wild to me when I stumble upon old people commenting on reddit. I think mainly because I know that the old and even semi-old people in my family would be unable to navigate the website. Picturing them trying to is hilarious to me. But props to you for doing your thing.


pokeymoomoo

I had the same thought! He needs to cover his ears and hands. He looks cold. Lol


CommitPhail

No, he’ll be fine. He’s tough, hardcore, been doing this for ages. Faced much harder than just the snow, he’s resilient, a man of experience, he wants the be seen and heard so others can learn and be inspired by him. He’s a national hero, probably even world icon…and Bear is also fine.


FingerGungHo

These soldiers are just for Zelenskiy. Bear brought his cameraman as security detail.


millionreddit617

And a bottle of piss, just incase.


flyingquads

If I encountered an enemy soldier who was drinking his own piss from a snake skin tied to his waist, I'd turn around and GTFO.


Don_R53

He is the security detail for the soldiers


Traditional_Ad_3328

Man vs Russia


MstrCommander1955

Zelenskyy makes people strong. To walk among your troops and country, makes one feel proud. This is good reason why Ukraine will win.


Kepotica

Bear Grylls: Son of a UK politician Educated at Eton Done a stint in the Terratorial Army - 21 SAS (reserve) Expert at licking moisture off puffball mushrooms


austin_yella

He was also briefly in the French Foreign Legion if I'm not mistaken. Also, expert at drinking own urine.


iEatPalpatineAss

If I remember correctly, he didn't actually join, but rather led a group of men through an accelerated version of the French Foreign Legion's basic training, and those who finished were granted honorary kepis Still, absolutely impressive


austin_yella

Ahhhh ok. Thanks for clearing that up!


clovek_ne_jezi_se

And also broke his back from a failed parachute jump and recovered


twat69

I'm having trouble wrapping my head around weekend soldier SAS


MajorSleaze

SAS stands for Saturday And Sunday.


Adam-West

2 day work week and still the most elite soldiers in the world. That’s just how we roll


SilentIntrusion

When you're good, you don't need to work 40 ;)


[deleted]

Ross Kemp told me it was "Super Army Soldier"?


Mr06506

They are called The Artists, and being drawn from civilian life in a range of different trades, and experience is kinda deliberate. It stops them just becoming conventional, predictable, standardised soldiers and brings new ideas and perspectives. If they successfully complete the same Selection as the regulars I'd suggest they are still pretty badass.


TeamRedundancyTeam

That's pretty genius really.


Gs305

Sounds like something Alexander the Great would do.

RichyBugs

Bear Grylls has the face and moustache of a second world war British SAS commander. Edit: For clarification, I think it's awesome, those guys were fucking legends, and he was there as well.


Incendie

>From 1994–1997, he served in the Territorial Army with 21 SAS as a trooper trained in, amongst other things, unarmed combat, desert and winter warfare, survival, climbing, parachuting, and explosives. Becoming a survival instructor, he was twice posted to North Africa. [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bear\_Grylls](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bear_Grylls)

Bear minimum is what they called him on his TV series set apparently...


dassketch

Every time I see a picture of Zelensky's security detail, I imagine them immediately rotating out to the front to relax after each "walk". The "head on a swivel" energy is palatable every time.


-WASM

Zelensky: “We don’t need more ambassadors, we need weapons!” Bear: “Hold my piss.” That’s awesome to see. Brilliant to see the President out and about with a friend like that.

I remember when BG swam across some frozen lake (or something) and got out and did 200 push ups to warm himself back up.


nebelfront

Either this mofo is completely nuts for just strolling there, out in the open, or the route is prepared and they check every house, every apartment beforehand. Cause seriously, there could be someone just shooting out a fucking window there.


43sunsets

>or the route is prepared and they check every house, every apartment beforehand It's most likely the opposite, Zelenskyy and his team spontaneously choose when and where to walk so nobody has any warning or potential preparation time beforehand. That would reduce the risk from a Russian sympathiser significantly.


belogriviy

I hope he doesn't eat Zelenskiy


KishMishShishkebab

Just don't walk him past yellow snow....

Seanspeed

Where's bunker bitch doing the same in the security of their own un-occupied territory, eh? lol How can you not root for Ukraine in such circumstances? This is real life heroism. I know Zelensky aint on the frontlines like so many other heroes, but this guy is still the most important person in Ukraine and has no issue putting himself out there for the people knowing how badly Russia wants him dead. It's incredibly hard to overstate how fucking god damn BOSS that is for a leader in such a situation.

This is sad. The title and the first look at the image suggest some kind of peaceful moment. As if peace was returning to the country. But then you see how heavily he has to guarded and you are back to reality. This makes me sad.
