Russia's state TV is obsessively bashing Trump's "low energy," "weak" parade with "rusty tanks." The hosts LOL at Trump's claim about "revolutionary war airports" & other historical flubs. "There's your city upon a hill, there's your world leaderand Martians have been defeated."

Anyone ever notice how Russia takes potshots at Trump all the time, but Trump never goes after them despite being the most easily triggered man on the face of the planet?

really makes you think

I like how this one Russian news report points out that airplanes came out 120 years after the events described by Trump lol

Then they compare Trump to Zelenskiy

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.

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.

@Hexenherz
Thats interesting, thanks for the info! The Roads We Take sounds pretty awesome, I might have to check it out. (I was looking up the meaning of the Bolivar phrase and stumbled on some details of the plot.)

"City upon a hill" is a Bible reference.

The whole "martian" thing is probably just used to say he's spewing bullshit.

Makes sense. If you have a dog that isn't very smart, you laugh at it when it does something stupid.

Not sure if there is some between-the-lines connection but in the story it is the name of a dream-cowboys dream-horse.
