I’m not a knower. Context?
The CIA secretly discovered and then raised from the seabed fragments of a lost soviet submarine in the 60s, in order to obtain soviet nuclear secrets and warheads. Some bodies were recovered with the wreckage.
Even though it was a super secret operation and the middle of the cold war, the CIA put together a respectful and moving funeral ceremony for the soviet submariners onboard the recovery ship, and they were then buried at sea. The ceremony was filmed and later, after it was declassified, the ceremony was shared with the soviet leadership and the known families of the submariners.
How was a cold war CIA agent that classy?
Don’t know, but one of them decided that lobotomys were a step to far for them to combat communism.

A lot of people died with the Titanic sank. Big sad.
Dude, pay attention.
Yeah, people don’t get jokes.
I heard the ending of “Titanic” was very sad. But then, Leonardo DiCaprio dies and we got a happy ending after all!
Girl boring guy quirky.
When you’re in a shitty naval ensign competition and the opponent is the USSR (you just brought your regular flag)
Just to clarify, the US Naval Ensign, while technically distinct, is in fact fully identical to the “standard” national flag.
Exactly, but that was the joke. That, and the USSR one being ugly as hell
Boys good! Girls yucky!
Seriously, what are you? 12?
Why do you think girls are yucky?
I don’t. I was making fun of this post.
It is using the age-old “girls vs boys” trope, and therefore juvenile.
But I don’t think girls are yucky either, on the contrary I’m actually a huge fan. I’m not sure I understand what you’re getting at.
The point that the meme template you’re using is sexist, as it implies that women are shallow and care about “dumb” things, like romantic movies, while men are cool and care about “smart” topics like history and politics.
Completely disagree, you’re thinking of the one that’s about girls VS boys with a time machine
