Putin Presses the Red Button

Posted on the 05 March 2014 by Hughvw
Dear Diary: These are very stressful times for us all.  I was spooning up the last of my Froot Loops, when the Leningrad Iron  Smelter Male Voice Choir rendition of  Song of the Volga Boatmen floated from my iPresidentophone."Vladimir!" I said, for it was he. "Obamavich, I am not amused by your sending the bonehead Kerry  to hold talks in Ukraine, an area that is historically Russian.  I have made myself very clear that you are not to interfere in our domestic  affairs."
"Whatcha goin' to do about  it Vlad?" I asked  "You're just bluffing as usual." I was following Sun Tzu's suggestion to annoy your enemy so that he concentrates on you rather than the battle.  " Bluffing? said Putin. Get ready for a phone call from NORAD."  Moments later a red phone rang. " Mr President sir, we have a red alert. The Russians have launched an ICBM. " Yikes! I expostulated " "Valerie, Joe,  we're under attack.  Get in to in my office ASAP."
