Ukraine and the Russian invasion, 2022-24

[mojo pixy]

You can pay Ukrainians to paint messages to Vlad on missiles. It's a big earner for them in the US. Maybe they'd arrange your photo. But I doubt it. Boris is a bit of a hero to them.

I like the simplicity but it really needs to be world-beating britpish. That foreign muck wouldn't do at all, not for this.

You could get them to paint Fuck You Boris on a missile, and pretend that Boris is our generic name for Russians. They would send you a photo. Imagine the possibilities.

Hmm... $5000 to paint the message on the side of an actual artillery piece. Something that's not (hopefully) just going to explode.
Crowdfunding opportunity? Could we get 1000 people to put a fiver in for "Boris Johnson is a bellend".

That’s a track on the new Julian Cope album!

I think we're going to have to wait until the special operation is over before we tell them "actually, Johnson's a bit of a cunt "

I think I could invent more plausible cover stories aged about four. Do they actually think their populace is even half stupid enough to swallow this cobblers?

Seems like a lot of effort just to burn a car, if they've got an army of hypnotized babushkas maybe they should send them to kill Putin.

The Ukrainians need to recruit danny la rouge and send him undercover to turn the stray mutts of Moscow against the apparatchiks and the nomenclature.

They don't have to believe them. It just has to be said. Alongside many different variants.

Anything to avoid any kind of truth getting airplay.

Fascinating that the composition of the inspection team was subject to negotiations

Some of the key sticking points were the composition of the team, André explains, with “Russia and Ukraine haggling over the names. It appears Rafael Grossi will be part of that team, as well as experts who are considered pro-Ukrainian – such as Polish and Latvian experts – but also experts from countries considered pro-Russian, from Serbia or other countries considered close to Moscow. And then there are experts from a list of countries considered to be neutral.”

I read that as IKEA, and had a WTF moment.

Nah, covers aren't plagiarism. I know this guy Cosmo, he never plays this song without crediting the writer (i know the writer Paul too and he isn't Mindless Drug Hoover, who I also know lol) I used to do a version myself because it always goes down a storm. There are loads of versions out there, it's a stone cold 3-chord classic.

There needs to be a Ukrainian version

IKEA were originally going to do it, but they had problems assembling their team

It's about the right size for an IKEA store

Salut Elena!

Elena Belova is also the name of Florence Pugh's assassin character from the Black Widow movie, which is a fun coincidence.
