Je vous prie de m’excuser pour mon retard du à la longueur de mon dialogue avec monsieur Poutine
ok, for you non French speakers, "I ask you to forgive me for being late, this is because of the length of my dialogue with Mister Putin,”
Sarkozy said this back at a G8 Summit in 2007. Remember, when we used to invite this psychopath to the top-table...
Sarkozy was apparently pale, breathing hard and certainly not offering his customary and glitzy smile. I met him at a drinks party in Paris once, you know, the type organised by friends with kids at l'école prestigious, Carla was there...
Anyway, the point being that the journalists present had attributed this theatre to the notion of Sarkozy being inebriated from too many vodka shots from his host. The reality was something entirely different and it says much about were we find ourselves now...
Sarkozy had tried valiantly to berate The Monster for the murder of journalists, the war in Chechnya, gay rights you name it. Putin wasn't pleased, he gazed at him intensely, silently and with menace. At laste, good old Sarky finished his sermon. A long silence endured...
Putin finally responded. He waved his hands in the air doing that weird, stupid jujitsu shit, or whatever he does in those silly white pyjamas... He was basically saying your country is nothing, rien! tu m'entends?!? My country is huge, we're the 800 ton gorilla in the EU
And warming to his theme, he leaned forward from his chair, altho you've seen those Russian powwow tables, they're really stupidly long, but in his best psychokilier delivery, he said "You keep talking to me like this and I’ll crush you...” I mean, who says stuff like that?
And so really, my question today is having just witnessed him cross all conceivable lines, having clearly determined that he's not going back, I just don't see him resting with Ukraine. A few sanctions, moral condemnation, yaddyda, ok cancelling the F1 at Sochi, that's gotta hurt
But really, why not continue? His country is p$ss poor and maybe Jimmy Carter is back in the White House? Germany looks kind of interesting. They make all that great stuff that the world craves and they have no gas or energy...
My point is why would this Psychokilier stop having conquered just another p$ss pour country. Germany? France, hmm all the oligarchs tell him it's really nice down there at the coast, why not? It's not like anyone's gonna nuke him?
When you cross the line you just gotta keep walking, right?
