Two men are chopping wood together in a Siberian gulag. One turns to the other and asks, "Is it really true that you won a silver medal at the Olympics?"

A man in Moscow goes up to a newsstand and buys a newspaper. He glances at the front page, then turns aside and tosses the whole newspaper straight into the trash. Next day, he turns up, and does the same thing. Buys it, glances at the front page, throws it in the trash. Next day, same thing. The newsstand worker is increasingly puzzled, but doesn't say anything.

But eventually, after a couple of weeks of this, he can't take it. "I'm sorry, friend, but I must ask: why do you buy the paper every day and then just look at the front page and throw it out?"

- "Oh, I'm just checking the obituaries."
- "But sir, you don't even open the newspaper! The obituaries aren't even on the front page!"
- "Oh, believe me, the one I'm waiting for will be."

Putin was walking through Moscow and found a really long line - not unusual in Russia - but he joined it to see where it went.

Every time someone in front of him saw that he was standing behind them - they left the line…

Finally Putin asked someone “What is this line for and why are you now leaving it?”

A babushka said “This is the line for US Visas - but if you are applying for one - I don’t need it anymore…”

Neat!

Man goes to doctor. Says he's depressed. Says life seems harsh and cruel. Says he feels all alone in a threatening world where what lies ahead is vague and uncertain. Says he feels like a piece of poo poo. Doctor says, 'Treatment is simple. President Putin is in town. Go and see him. He's a real piece of poo poo. The worst piece of poo poo in the whole world! That will cheer you up!' Man bursts into tears. Says, 'But doctor…I am Putin.' and fills his diaper. Fart noises. Good joke!

A man becomes preeminent, he's expected to have enthusiasms.

Enthusiasms, enthusiasms...
A man is on a street corner in Moscow yelling “The president is an idiot “

Police surround him and handcuff him. They say “it is illegal to insult President Putin”

He says “You don’t understand I mean the American president, Biden, he is the one I was insulting “

The police captain says “you can’t fool us, everyone knows who the idiot is”

https://www.reuters.com/world/europe/kremlin-cites-truss-error-evidence-west-doesnt-understand-ukraine-conflict-2022-02-11/


quote:

MOSCOW, Feb 11 (Reuters) - The Kremlin on Friday cited a geographical gaffe by British Foreign Secretary Liz Truss as an example of how poorly informed Western leaders were about the subject matter in the East-West standoff over Ukraine.

Britain dismissed the comments as propaganda and said Truss had simply misheard Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov during a meeting.

"This is the reality in which we have to defend our position," Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov told a briefing.

Russia's Kommersant newspaper quoted two diplomatic sources as saying that during their closed-door meeting on Thursday Lavrov had asked Truss if she recognised Russian sovereignty over Rostov and Voronezh - two regions in the south of the country where Russia has been building up its forces.

Kommersant said Truss replied that Britain would never recognise them as Russian, and had to be corrected by her ambassador.

Britain does not dispute the sovereignty of the regions in question. A British source said Truss had misheard during the meeting, and rejected Peskov's characterisation of the West's understanding of the conflict.

"It's total rubbish and classic Russian propaganda," the source said.

Ah yes it's Russian propaganda that your foreign minister is a loving idiot that can't look at a map lmao

The US navy has thousands of cruise missiles that they are retiring. A ground launched system could be rigged up within months if the will was there. The skies could look like a Japanese cartoon with their contrails streaking to Russian targets in Ukraine.

Every known Russian SAM, airbase, HQ, artillery battery, marshalling yard, depot, and strong point could be obliterated inside a week. Those bridges could be taken out, and the naval base in Crimea flattened. But decorum and republican contrarianism are making sure Ukraine suffering is going to last for years.

Assuming that the tap isn't turned off next election.
