Second map is wrong. You can drink the tap water in any country at least once

Ah yes America. The land with safe leaded tap water.

Why is America highlighted?

South Africa has some really good tap water, can confirm I am drinking it.

Hey, I'm not unfriendly. I like Russian escorts and vodka.

I just wish their leaders would be a little more friendly to the rest of the world.

I just want to say a a resident of the US Midwest, don't drink the tap water here - it won't actually kill you but you'll wish you were dead 😝

All of South Africas tap water is safe to drink. And Russia considers the SA government their ally.

The map of the US should be a bit more finely-grained to show the MAGA states as Russophiles.

Except for Flint, Michigan and Jacksonville, Mississippi.

Looks like Bosnia & Herzegovina and Serbia and get a pass on being unfriendly countries, presumably because they aren't in NATO (despite B&H being an aspiring member).

However Switzerland, Lichtenstein and Austria, also not in NATO, are still unfriendlies.

Poor Hungary is still counted as unfriendly as they actively run interference on Moscow's behalf.

Ironically, the second map is pretty wrong. You're more likely to be able to drink the tap water in the Balkans for example than in some Western countries.

Imagine thinking US tapwater (where some places are known to have a dizzying amount of contaminants) is more drinkable than Brazilian tapwater, which is actually clean.

I don't think we're un-friendly, I think Russia's just in a bad place right now and need to take a hard look at themselves and maybe consider whether their recent behaviour matches their values.

And no, they can't crash on our sofa.

Is the tap water in Spain alright? When I was in Tenerife recently, I bought bottled water even though I never ever buy it at home. They also had quite a lot of (non carbonated, non flavored) bottled water in the stores compared to my country.

I come from a country with very good tap water so is it possible that the water is technically fine but not great or something you would like to drink?

I live in America and I wouldn't drink the tap water

I thought Chile had drinkable table water. Last time someone posted a UN map, iirc Chile was the sole county in South America highlighted.

What's the idea behind this meme? That Russia is against tap-water or that Russia is a third-world shithole?

Because if the later, it reeks of western-white-colonialist supremacy. Blue countries have better infrastructure because they are colonial powers.

Oh and I absolutely drank water in Bulgaria. This is factually false.

Meanwhile, placing the US in the "drinkable country" where this happens is laughable:

You better wipe America off that list lol. Flint Michigan have water yet?

I always drank tap water during my stay in Medellín, Colombia and was perfectly fine.
