A bit too cynical for me to believe it, sadly. Some grammatical errors - commas not where they should be, fullstops after exclamation points, etc - but readable. It just comes off as too much. It's too droll and too unimpressed. It probably wouldn't feel nearly as bad in a wider context, I think it's just a particularly sour part. The problem is it comes across as sour, when you really want cynicism to come across as tangy, if that makes sense. The terminally unimpressed tragic cynic needs to amuse us, or we'll quickly get sick of his whining.

It doesn't have to be a laugh a minute, which is why I think this excerpt would read better in a larger context.

Fun fact: the Soviets and the Germans formed a truce on the Eastern Front in WW1 for a few days to hunt wolves.
