Well, how does one even begin to sum up the meeting with
these two numpties today? The wee man, all 5 feet 6 inches, has been in power
for 22 years. On the other side of the height/power scale, we have the tall
man, all 6 feet 3 inches, who has been in power for seven months.
Physically, mentally and power-wise, the two couldn't be different.
The wee man was, for the want of a better word, a spy, a KGB leader, about as
trustworthy as the late Oliver Hardy going on a diet. With the 78-year-old
White House internee, we have a man who has been in politics for around 50
years. Over recent months, in certain websites and alternative journals, I have
heard both men being described as wankers (nothing new there, then), arseholes
(assholes if you are an American), jackasses, pricks, mother (you know what’s),
and the one I liked most: dolt-schmucks. What the woke and millennial
generations think of these two nationalist rulers, who knows. Maybe we older
schmucks take a more gladiatorial view. Vladimir Putin, although he maybe isn't
that self-aware yet, is a little dictatorial oligarch and, as I understand, has
a personal wealth of £160 billion. What the fuck? £160 billion? Where in Hell's
nation did that money come from?
Then the White House oldie - having used that word, I wonder
if he’s actually appeared in The Oldie magazine? Must check. Anyway, he’s worth
a measly $9 million according to Forbes magazine. You could say he’s actually
poor in comparison with his antagonist. Do these two numpties have anything in
common? After about a half-hour I finally came up with my answer - bugger all.
These two will meet in Geneva today, have a coffee (the wee man will probably
down several large vodkas), and explore each other’s territories. Will they
find any common ground? Answer? Nope!
Can’t wait to read tomorrow's newspapers! Watch this space!
