To those Saker commentators who detected “anger” in my sitreps, I can only say that you, Ladies and Gents, sound like my psychiatrist: “Scott, what are we going to do with your anger?” One day, I will tell you the story of how we met. Since he comes from one of those countries “civilized” and “liberated” by the West, I explained it to him in no uncertain terms, and he understood. Anger is a reaction to banality, somewhat similar to impatience. My patience is nearly infinite. I’ve never tried vodka, never had a feat of road rage, and never watched a Star Wars movie. What you call “anger” is a relatively forgotten after the WWII in the Western world phenomenon that’s called “battlefront psychosis,” and in Russian military history known as a “noble wrath.” Granted, I am just a Russian foot soldier at the World information war.
1. Only after the CIA and Pentagon military intelligence have finely confirmed Ukraine being clear of the Russian army, the American military instructors ventured to come to the NATO military base Yarov near Lvov.
2. The United States Ambassador in Ukraine called the Governor of Dnepropetrovsk region for a “serious talk.” In response, the Ambassador of Ukraine in the US called the Governor of Texas to help him to sort out the state’s problems.
3. Well done, Ukrainians! A job truly well done: came out on Maidan, pushed one ass off the golden toilet, and immediately replaced it with another hairy ass, knocked down hundreds of Lenin monuments, gave some very creative nicknames to Putin, fucking lost Crimea and Donbass, took on a mountain of debt, enslaved their grandchildren, lost their free trade zone with Russia, repainted all of their outhouses and toilets in yellow-and-powder blue and…….and came home with great satisfaction. If you don’t understand their sophisticated maneuvers, it means you’re a Russian “vatnick” [quilted jacket].
4. Ukrainian scientists invented a radar that accurately determines aircrafts of foreign nations. The principle is simple: all aircrafts appearing on the radar screen are the aircrafts of foreign nations, since Ukraine doesn’t build its own any longer.
5. Kiev, Rada: Huge debates on what term to use in regards to Crimea and Donbass: annexed or occupied. A voice comes from the back of the room: “Use “fucking lost.”
6. Ukrainian ultra-nationalists, and Russia’s liberals are in shock: Putin’s army has finally entered,…but not them!
7. Since the first strikes of the Russia’s airspace forces against ISIS in Syria, Ukrainian military is in shock: they have finally realized that they indeed were disseminated by Donbass miners and tractor operators.
8. In the Russian and Ukrainian languages GDP is being abbreviated as VVP (ВВП), which is also the abbreviation of Putin’s first, middle and last names, Vladimir Vladimirovich Putin. In the Ukrainian government they think that VVP is indeed Putin, and do everything to bring their GDP to zero.
9. Q.: Sherlock Holmes, what’s your opinion about the fact that last year the Russian ruble had become twice cheaper, and the Ukrainian hrivna had become four times cheaper?
A.: Elementary, Watson: this fact means that Western Europe’s help is four times deadlier for an economy than European sanctions.
10. Ukrainian Parliament cession: Lyashko, an ultra-nationalist wants to speak. The speaker of Rada, Grossman, enquirers about the subject of his speech.
Lyashko: I want to say something about Zhidi! (Ukrainian slur for Jews)
– No, you can’t. The Free World has intolerance to this kind of speech.
– In that case, I want to say something about them damn Moskalis!
– Not today. We’re in the middle of a Free Trade Agreement negotiation with Russia.
– In this case, permit me, Pan Speaker, to say a couple of words about the climate change.
– Yes, of course. It’s good. You can speak about this.
– Mindless industrial development and use of fossil fuel resulted in the global warming that we are witnessing today: Ukrainian rivers are all dried up, Ukraine is completely deforested. Where we are supposed to drown Zhidis and to hang Moskalis?
11. Members of the Kiev junta: a Georgian, Saakashvili, and an Armenian, born in Azerbaijan, Avakov, argue in pure Russian language about which one of them is a true Ukrainian.
12. How far can Ukrainians go in terms of technology? It depends…
13. Once upon a time in Kiev: the ambassadors of the U.S.A., France, Spain, Germany, and Denmark gathered with the U.S. assistant Secretary of State Nuland, the American senators Chris Murphy and John McCain; German foreign Minister Guido Westerwelle; a representative of the European Union for foreign Affairs and security policy Catherine Ashton; ex-President of Georgia Mikhail Saakashvili; Minister of foreign Affairs of the Netherlands Frans Timmermans; a Polish politician and Member of the European Parliament for the Lower Silesian Voivodship & Opole Voivodship Jacek Protasiewicz; a Minister of foreign Affairs of Lithuania Linas Linkevičius; the speaker of the Lithuanian Seimas Loreta Hrauzhinene; former Prime Minister of Poland Jaroslaw Kaczynski; Czech Senator Jaromir Stetina, and.. accused Russia of interfering in Ukraine’s internal affairs!
14. Ukraine’s heroes don’t die; they’re just being dubbed deserters.
15. An old Bendera follower is dying, surrounded by his family of Ukro- fascists. Everyone wants to hear his last will:
“Boys,” he says. “Take a very good care of Putin.”
“Why,” his perplexed family members ask.
“Because, hate of Putin is the only thing that holds Ukraine together.’
16. Ukraine is like the Vatican, if you see black smoke over Maidan, expect a new pope.
17. For me, a lot of things fell into place when I heard the words of one Kiev freshman:
— The myth of the causality was invented by the Communists, to keep Ukrainians enslaved.
18. Have you heard about the Dead Sea? Putin killed it.
19. If an unidentified or suspicious object is found on a subway train, DO NOT TOUCH IT… It’s me, sleeping..
20. Pro-Washington liberals in Russia know that Khodorkovsky is a thief, con-artist and a murderer, but forgive him everything for biting the Tyrant. *
*[In the Russian blogosphere, President Putin has been lovingly called “our Tyrant”, “our the Darkest, Темнейший,” but also “our Lightest. Светлейший.”]
21. Twitter profile: Rock-climber, scuba diving instructor, champion of Ukraine in deepwater photography, yachtsman. Simply a good guy. Sell arms.
Political Forecast
2050: The President of Russia Vladimir Putin has held talks with the Emir of Germany, Hussein al Gabani, and the Crown Prince of France, Mullah Nasrallah.
Yes, 2015 wasn’t simple. And 2016 will not be simple. But 2017 is already promising to be simple.
I mean 2017 is a prime number.
Someone just tweeted; If hypocrisy was a fuel source, American would be set for life.
Hi Scott,
First, thanks A LOT for bringing us all a smile in these otherwise rather depressing if not scary times. As for your alleged “anger”, I would say that there are things which *ought* to elicit anger in a decent and mentally balanced person. I much prefer anger to indifference, especially when the latter masquerades itself as cynicism. And there is this forgotten but precious notion of a “righteous wrath” which, I would argue, is much needed today. So don’t worry too much about getting some flak over being angry :-)
Hugs,
The Saker
Thanks, boss!
Dear Scott.
The anger and the passion is two faces of the same coin. One wakes the other and vice-versa. And sometimes, their mix causes the most acid, refined and funny humor ever!
So, “keep anger”, friend!
Do you have “anger issues Scott? I never noticed, or “detected” that, but then I am no Sherlock Homes.. Anger, or wrath, can be be a catalyst for fueling change. Perhaps America could practice this en mass. They’d be set for life.
Or humor, that would be brilliant. I think the humour of your post is called “gallows humor”, why not?
5. Kiev, Rada: Huge debates on what term to
use in regards to Crimea and Donbass: annexed
or occupied. A voice comes from the back of the
room: “Use “fucking lost.”
And free at last!! :)
You’ve started the new year with a bang Scott – great post!!
Ps Ditch the shrink – you don’t need him :)
Scott humor…#11 slapstick to the max! Anger is passion and it is a no-no especially in American politics where it can get one exiled as one presidential candidate discovered—also one who cried got booted out. Best human cyborg have none. And as for Putin, well, there was a CNN report about his so-called “potty mouth” regarding how he addressed Daesh types and Erdogan’s betrayal. Tsk tsk.
My yoga instructor once said that there was an alternate story of the Princess who Kissed the Frog– in The alternate Princess story she picked the Frog up and bashed it against the wall and out dropped the Prince. This, he said, could only be done, not by a spoiled princess, but by one who was a master of wrath and timing.
@Scott,
Just Wonderful.
Thanks
Privet “Scott”,
HAPPY NEW YEAR and MERRY Christmas!
YASTB (you are simply the best)
Cannot decide which I like most, because 70% to 80% are candidates for #1.
Two of my favorites are:
“””””8. In the Russian and Ukrainian languages GDP is being abbreviated as VVP (ВВП), which is also the abbreviation of Putin’s first, middle and last names, Vladimir Vladimirovich Putin. In the Ukrainian government they think that VVP is indeed Putin, and do everything to bring their GDP to zero.

And of course the videos, haha
I positively noticed your stance on the Lenin monuments and further on the “jewish question” (which is unfortunately a bit under-represented here, recently). We are not RightSectore here! Good that at least some still remember this.
@Scott:
Ohh, damn s.. , my next clear favorite among many others:
“”””Political Forecast
2050: The President of Russia Vladimir Putin has held talks with the Emir of Germany, Hussein al Gabani, and the Crown Prince of France, Mullah Nasrallah.””””
Too true and too sad to be funny.
But by then I will be a proud citizen of the CCCP2.0 with a good Russian wife (never again a Ukrainian buymethisbuymethatwhatdoyouwantimtired please!) under Putins leadership.
That’s the relieving part :)
NO HUMOR: Yet another attempt to assassinate EU-critique Nigel Farage (this time not a plane crash) :

Some other humor (since he didn’t suffer any effects from it)—Farage survives a sabotaged auto accident.
They’re going low budget, last time it was a plane crash years ago.
Just like in the Death Race 2000 movie (David Carradine, Rocky/Rambo), when anything bad happens, blame the stinking French.
Especially if it happens in France.
Nigel Farage fears he has been the victim of an assassination attempt after his car was sabotaged, causing a terrifying motorway crash.
The Ukip leader careered off a French road after a wheel on his Volvo came loose while he was driving from Brussels back to his home in Kent.

a bit lost in the google translate I surmise, but you might get the gist of it…………..
Thanks, Scott. Much needed and appreciated.
Hat Down Mr. Scott.
Enjoyed higher harmonics.
Not a single “a” of “anger”, only healthyHollyMajtap.
I’ve just seen the second video

eg extract
“Police in northern Norway collects extra bikes. Local authorities are interested in bicycle in any condition and any condition, on the condition that he will be able to get to the border with Russia. The fact is that after tightening of immigration legislation in the country, local authorities have a chance to be deported from Norway 5500 refugees who in 2015 arrived in the country from Russia through the border crossing point Storskog. The trouble is that the passage through the checkpoint on foot – is prohibited. Enterprising refugees bought at the population of the border villages of old bikes for a song, on which crossed the border of Norway. Next banal bikes were thrown, and the final destination of their appointment became Norwegian landfill. Now police are asking people to provide the department found bicycles for mass outflow of refugees from Norway. Russian citizens do not get lost in the near future in the area of the checkpoint Sturskurg formed illegal dumps of 5500 is quite workable European bikes. Would not it be a blessing in disguise!”
