"You’re smaller, we’re bigger, and our economy is this or that. Sure, we’ll keep helping you – and then join Russia. That’s not how this works. It’s impossible and unrealistic. I’m almost afraid to say it, but that would mean war."

Is Potato Fuhrer getting nervous about Putin's next move?

[-] Diplomjodler3@lemmy.world 19 points 1 month ago

Maybe Putler wants a consolation prize.

Putin is nervous about his own next move.

This is a man trying to abandon a sinking ship.

Don’t discount exotic heavy metal/radiation poisoning to really make a point.

Didn’t ol mate want to be a Russian general?

[-] Jayjader@jlai.lu 3 points 1 month ago

Not just a Russian general, a rank in the army of the Soviet union (which comes off even worse to me)

Putin is itching to break open that Belarusian piggy bank.
