Remember Hugo Chavez of Venezuela? A crackpot dictator who ruined his country before he finally croaked? Yes, he was popular for awhile: nationalized businesses; set exchanges rate for foreign currency. He was under an assumption he could be a new type of socialist dictator. Wrong. Even his understudy, Senor Maduro, can't clean up the mess. Oh, and there's an issue with the price of oil.
Now the world has Mad Vlad "Vova" Putin. Let's take Crimea. Yea, Russya is back. We are a real country again. Look, World, we count. Then Ukraine. Russyan speakers need our help. Let's go help the oppressed Russyan-speaking minority in the Donbass(east Ukraine). Oh, sorry, we shot down the plane filled with Dutch medical doctors. It wasn't us. It was Ukraine.
How about a cup of plutonium-laced tea? It is a special Russyan blend reserved for elite drinkers.
Yes, I can't wait for Vova to speak at the UN in New York city. Maybe Mayor Bill DeBlasio will give Vlad a key to the City. Maybe not. But Mad Vlad has lots of topics he can incorporate into a fine diatribe against the UN membership. Maybe he'll chastise Obama, or President Xi of China. Maybe he'll talk of his fears of Iranian nuclear production or how the US lost prestige when Sec. of State signed the agreement in Suisse.
It will be a much anticipated speech, but we are all prepared to be disappointed. What can dictators say? Same old, tired lies to protect their position and their hidden wealth. Where is his money? Suisse.
Have a nice day.
