#TPT - Pullin' for Ukraine before it was cool!
Does this laugh track make my foreign policy look phat?
It’s Twadpockle Thursday (#TPT), another Friday edition!
Today’s link of consequence goes even further back down memory lane, to Ukraine and Russia before it was cool.
Long before we posted Ukrainian flags to our profiles, years before we cheered for The Ghost of Kiev1, pundit Tom Luongo was podcasting for peace in Ukraine.

Time capsules say the darndest things!
This was five years after neocon Gideon Rose and late-night smugster Stephen Colbert snickered over “stealing Russia’s girlfriend” to a giddy laugh track. Although Rose is the foreign policy genius, Colbert has by far the smartest line of the exchange: “He [Putin] might punch us in the face.” Chuckle, chuckle!
At least they didn’t pass it off as satire or locker room talk.
By the way, English speakers, you don’t say Deutschland or España, so quit saying Kyiv.
Late night smugster😂
