Puttana

February 25, 2022

The Italian word for whore is “puttana.” One of your favorite, spicy Italian dishes might be a puttanesca. I know it is a little bit of a stretch, but it sounds a lot like “Putin.” I could go with “poutine,” which is a dish of French fries covered with brown gravy and cheese curds. It is a guaranteed death sentence. Either way, Vladimir Putin is a whore and a killer.

By some estimates, Putin has appropriated 80% of Russia’s GDP for the benefit of Russian oligarchs. I won’t be crude about what he and his whore cronies are doing to the Russian people. They are stealing the people’s money, and depositing it overseas in places like expensive, New York City apartments and golf course developments. Now he is literally killing the Ukrainian people. In the same way that Hitler needed more land to feed his people and his megalomania, Putin needs more resources to feed his unbridled greed. When he is done strip mining the Ukraine, he will move on.

Fox News and Donald Trump have cast themselves as appeasers. Neville Chamberlain was dealing with the unknown. Fox News and Trump don’t have that excuse.
