A simple request from Russian government officials
2022-02-18
Who knew the Russians had an official sense of humour?




[TASS] Russian Foreign Ministry Spokeswoman Maria Zakharova has jokingly asked American and British media outlets to release a schedule of Russia’s "upcoming invasions" of Ukraine for the current year.

"I’d like to request US and British disinformation: Bloomberg, The New York Times and The Sun media outlets to publish the schedule for our upcoming invasions for the year. I’d like to plan my vacation," the Russian diplomat said on her Telegram channel Wednesday.

The West and Kiev have recently been echoing allegations about Russia’s potential invasion of Ukraine recently. Western media outlets keep enthusiastically announcing "the date of invasion," which has been repeatedly postponed. In particular, according to the Politico newspaper, US President Joe Biden claimed that Russia could allegedly attack Ukraine on February 16. This steady disinformation blitz by the Western media has already resulted in a sharp deterioration of Kiev’s economic situation, with investments and businesses fleeing Ukraine, while the energy prices in Europe are growing. Kremlin Spokesman Dmitry Peskov castigated these statements as an "empty and groundless" escalation of tensions, emphasizing that Russia posed no threat to anyone.

#7  Magoo is pathetic.

He and his administration have lied so brazenly, so preposterously, about so many things, that literally nothing this sick muppet blathers has any credibility now.

They lied about Trump being a Russian agent when in fact Trump was ten times harder on Russia -- and got far better results re restraining Russia -- than any president before or since.
They lied about the Blessed Martyr St George Fentanyl.
They lied about "peaceful protests."
They lied about Afghanistan.
They lied about their spectacular, surreal abandonment of our southern border.
They lied about "temporary" inflation.
They lied about their failed 'vaccine' "stopping the spread by Fall" 2021.
They lied about our history.
They lied about parents as "domestic terrorists," "insurrection," "white s'premacy" in the military, and on and on.
They lied about his worthless, shit bird, doper son Hunter.

This decrepit, corrupt, dessicated old pervert and his freakshow cabinet do nothing but lie, fabricate, sneer, slander, and silence their opposition.

They're lying now.

They neither deserve nor can expect anyone's deference or obedience.

#6  There is a new 9 minute briefing from Brandon, and the admin's grasp of what is going on.

It is......sad. It's sad.

He talks like he just had a peanut butter sandwich, doing the squinty eye thing which make the whole ocular look black like a doll's eyes, and I think somebody does a giggle "Goodbye" when he just quits and leaves.

#4  clever

a lot of Russians are intelligent and have a sense of humor -- and a lot of these have emigrated to the US or Germany

#3  Maria Zakharova just wants to know when and where she needs buy her fancy green uniform in an army surplus store so she can join all those Russians "holidaying" in Donbass.

She may not qualify as a little green man though.

#2  Zakharova posted this originally. A clever lady.

#1  Western Elites lose their sense of humor and the Russians seem to gain their own? Interesting times.
