#2 Wow, just wow. Think of the press they could have gotten just dumping the stuff in Caracas these days. So much for socialist solidarity. Meanwhile, the Russian oligarchs simply pay another 'import tax' to the appropriate authority to continue to dine as the rich always do.

#3 Sez Putin, "These small things that please us,
Like steamrolling decadent cheeses,
Must cause no lamenting

Wuz fit for our Orthodox Jesus."
