"NURGLON IN 2008!" Part 5: Nurglon Claims Obama Is Friendly With Terrorists Originally posted October 07, 2008

Back in 2008, I thought Sarah Palin was as stupid as politics could possibly get. So I wrote this parody. In hindsight, I misunderstood Sarah Palin’s populism. She wasn’t the end, but a harbinger of things to come.

Here’s part 5 of the satire “Nurglon in 2008!”

Whoa!

Was this "Staring Contest" sketch from LATE NIGHT WITH CONAN O'BRIEN, in the year 2000(!) the original inspiration for "looksmaxxing"...?

Swedish coast guard boarded a sanctioned Russian vessel off Trelleborg. The Guinea-flagged Caffa was declared stateless. "Without nationality, the ship's safety cannot be guaranteed," they said.

Remember when the U.S. did not want to help Ukraine against the Russian invasion?

Strange, isn't it, how the fortunes of war can change.

There's this great line by Frank Miller (from THE DARK KNIGHT RETURNS (1986)) that has stuck with me for many years.
It sums up Russia vs. the world:
"Every year they grow SMALLER. Every year they hate us MORE."

I hope you appreciate the irony.

UKRAINE is now the world leader in drone technology. NOT the U.S.
