Putin’s seven-word retort to dictator who mocked Russia’s egg shortage
Metro UK ^ | 12/26/2023 | Sarah Hooper

Vladimir Putin has been mocked by Belarusian dictator Alexander Lukashenko over Russia’s shortage of eggs.

Mr Putin’s ally confronted him over the skyrocketing prices of the kitchen staple, with the entire exchange caught on camera at the Supreme Eurasian Economic Council session in St Petersburg.

At the event Mr Putin, 71, was also spotted bizarrely stretching his feet as he waited to greet several fellow ex-Soviet republic leaders, including Mr Lukashenko, 69.

Former farm boss Mr Lukashenko teased the Russian leader that Belarus’s agricultural industry was in better shape than Russia’s.

He said: ‘We have achieved a high level of food self-sufficiency, which in Belarus is almost 100%.

‘We cover our domestic needs in grain, pork, meat, poultry, milk, vegetables, vegetable oils – and eggs.’

Mr Putin smiled and joked: ‘Give us a little, don’t be greedy.’

Egg prices have soared more than 40% in Russia amid shortages linked to rising poultry food prices caused by the war in Ukraine – and even memes have appeared with people saying they need to be wealthy to afford eggs.

Soviet-style queues have formed and the the price for ten eggs has soared to £1.90, an astronomical amount for many Russians – especially pensioners.

This compares with an average pension of £38.49 a week.

Your “New World Order” crap is meant for people who think like you.

Nobody cares about the problems of Russia, Europe, or all the crap you push.

The USA is founded on the principle of leaving fascist government. You embrace it.

Take your Fascist New World and shove it.

Nothing new about the Peace Through Strength conservatism that marcusmaximus is a proponent of. Chomskyite and populist keyboard warriors have become so broken and defeated that can’t seem to process such foundational political ideas these days. They have given up and just wait with baited breath for their new instructions from the Dear Leader of the day.

Eggs are a growth medium for certain bioweapons. A grain shortage would affect more livestock than just chickens.

A weak and demilitarized Russia is good for America. Finish the job President Reagan started and then we can focus on China.

When President Trump is inaugurated in January 2025 he will be negotiating from a position of strength and Russia will be negotiating from a position of extreme weakness. Read The Art of The Deal.

President Reagan is no comparison to the Dementia Joe.

Dementia Joe invited Putin to attack Ukraine.

Ukraine is not in NATO.

See where this is?

It’s likely that Putin wouldn’t have invaded Ukraine if Trump is still our President today. But he would have just decided to wait until 2025 in the alternate timeline where Gavin Newsom becomes President. Putin was waiting for an opportunity to invade Ukraine. And knowing our politics, it was only a matter of time before we’ll get a Democratic POTUS.
