Topic	Russian state news openly mocks Trump's failed parade

Honestly I didnt know that Russian state media was regularly talking shit about him, but yeah it makes sense that hed know to keep his mouth shut. I wonder if its just because they are in bed together or if its something more sinister like him being legitimately afraid. ROBANN_88 posted... what's that about Martians? Im curious about this too. Sounds almost like a colloquialism. Reading around online, I can't really find anything concrete. I found a post on a forum where a person uses a joke about a leader going to war against Mars for resources. The leader winds up taking most of the spoils of war but shares some of it with the people, the media take hold of the story and blow it out of proportion and everyone loves the leader for doing all these things for the populace. It could also be a reference to War of the Worlds (the aliens were from Mars). Russians have taken some references from Western media and literature and kept it alive even better than we have in some cases. Like this old story "The Roads We Take" - in the Soviet Union a phrase "Bolivar cannot carry double" became kind of popular and it's still used to this day over there (though maybe not in super widespread situations), whereas in the US you probably would not hear or see that reference anywhere. --- FFXIV: Herzog Erislieb (Cactaur) \| RS3: UltimaSuende . 99 WC/Fish/Cook/Fletch/Div <cite>Hexenherz posted [p:924288655] in Russian st...
