Putin, you see, did not shake the British ambassador’s hand in the Kremlin, did not speak to him, and generally refused to come closer than 70 feet, citing health reasons. πŸ˜‚

Is 70ft far enough when it comes to the British?

Can never be too safe.

Or, you know, crazy thought, Putin told them the truth and anti-corona restrictions are still in effect in the Kremlin. Strange how that perfectly explains why he was meeting with kids before the ceremony and why he's behaving the way he is in UAE.

I mean, that's not as flattering to the British sense of self-importance, but maybe, just maybe Putin didn't snub 3 diplomats from hostile countries at the expense of the other 18 attending.

Real fucking mood to call a popular elected president a "despot" when you still have a literal hereditary monarch.

Seems a bit reactionary don't you think

Anglos near-exterminated the native population of pretty much two continents (most of North America, and Australia) with their various diseases, and genocidal tendencies. Can never be too cautious.

I don't think you read the link.

You read #15 and didn’t include the gay roller emote?

Brits never did that though.

It would have been so funny if the UK ambassador had tried slowly creeping toward Vlad to see what he’d do. A full on scooby doo chase scene would be optimal.

I'm with you there, buddy. Would've been nice to see FPS officers faceplant the brit into the floor.
