So, talks in Brussels are going nowhere. Diplomats are discussing the weather, the price of oil, NordStream 2(and Nordstream 1), natural gas prices, etc. Ukraine- maybe tomorrow, but not today. So, the Dummy spouts Kremlin bluster. Now Mad Vlad says he might deploy troops into the Western hemisphere: eg. Cuba, Venezuela, Nicaragua, El Salvador, Guatemala, etc. Maybe he should throw in Alaska. Think of that: it used to be a Russkie colony. I'm sure Putin knows a few Alaskans who speak Russyan, or thought they remembered somebody north of the Yukon River who spoke Russyan. Recall, the Tsar was fooled into selling the territory to Secretary of State William Seward, who worked for Honest Abe Lincoln. Maybe Putin will stir up some sympathy among the indigenous tribes there, who want to be Russyan. Then he could send in his minions of Little Green Men who would protect the interests of those Russophiles who live in igloos and under reindeer-hide tents on the tundra.
So, poor Sergey: he's made to look like the Fool. But, he's an insider, has a thick skin and will say what he's told to say without causing any trouble for Vlad and Co. Good boy, Ryabkov. Here's some more state vodka for you. Drink up, be happy. Get ready to denounce sanctions, again.
