Evil Russian Imperialist@Russ_Imperialist

March 12, 2025

On the current state of negotiations around Ukraine I must yet again remind everyone about an old Russian joke (or rather Jewish one from Odessa):

Matchmaker bursts into the house of shoemaker Mendel.
"Mendel, rejoice! I've come to arrange for your daughter, Riva, to marry Count Potocky."
"Give my daughter to a Christian? Impossible!"
"Well, Mendel, think about it! Count Potocky is an aristocrat, a millionaire, while you're just a poor simple shoemaker..."
"Yes, I understand... But to a Christian, impossible!"
Several hours pass, and an exhausted matchmaker stumbles out of the house.
"Well, thank God! Persuaded him at last. Half the job is done. It's just to persuade Count Potocky now."

В дом сапожника Менделя врывается шадхен (сват).
-Мендель, радуйся! Я пришел сватать твою дочь Риву за графа Потоцкого.
-За христианина?! Ни за что!
-Ну, Мендель, подумай! Граф Потоцкий - аристократ, миллионер, а ты все-таки простой сапожник...
-Да я понимаю... но за христианина - ни за что!
Проходит несколько часов, из дома вываливается измученный шадхен.
-Ну, слава Богу! Уговорил. Полдела сделано. Пойду теперь уговаривать графа Потоцкого.

A quick commentary on the "Piss Summit"

I might not be able to upload much more or do lives for a while

My Fellow Duranianss.

Yes, it's happened again. I have been assaulted by a vicious Malware Bot Virus or whatever 911 Socks is and this thing is bad !

However I wanted to give you a "peace" of my mind concerning the "Piece" or piss, as Elensky calls it, as this thing fell to pieces before it even happened.

Coincidentally on the very SAME DAY this crap happened Saudi Arabia DROPPED the US Petrodollar as a buying currency and NO ONE absolutely NO ONE is talking about this fact anywhere !!!

Hope to see you all asap.
