Households across the USA were treated to a Russiyan gift this morning: a large dose of propaganda from the Kremlin's office of Official Lies and Falsehoods. These lies came in the form of a 4 page supplement found in the folds of today's Wall Street Journal, delivered to the doorstep of 2+ million American households. What a great way to gain some much needed revenue for the USA's top print media publication. Obviously, the owners of the WSJ care about their bottom line, and this injection of cash(roubles converted to dollars) helps out quite a bit.
Now adding a supplement to a daily paper requires all that you can assume: journalists' costs, editorial content, layout and publication, and the money fronted to the WSJ.
A quick read of the content leaves a reader wondering: what are they smoking in the Kremlin? Within its pages, Russiyans profess to disapprove of relaxing of marijuana control laws, but clearly, in the Kremlin, they are smoking bales of the weed. How else does one publish such items as: the Russyian economy is sinking because of US sanctions? Hmmmm. Maybe Mad Vlad is combining his weed with vodka. Every high school teenager knows this combo produces all kinds of fantasies of the mind.
Well, today's supplement underscores the Russyian comedic mind set: nothing can be too amusing to send to American households from Mad Vlad's dacha in Moscova.
Way to go Vlad. Loved the foto with Chinese Pres. Xi, Pres. Obama, Pres. Putin, and the Sultan of Brunei Hassanal Bolkiah, all dressed in deep purple silk Mao jackets in Beijing. This amiable gathering predates the OPEC meeting of Thursday and Friday's 10% drop in oil prices. Pres. Obama was heard chuckling to himself this morning on Pennsylvania Avenue. The US taxpayer just received a 10% tax cut! "I'm the greatest", he said to self. Wonder if he took a selfie to share the moment on Twitter?
