Vladimir Putin is demanding urgent potato imports from Alexander Lukashenko of Belarus, while he delays supplying the ally with promised notorious Oreshnik horror missiles. Putin has made the shameful admission that he has run out of spuds - one of his country’s leading food staples - amid economic meltdown during his war with Ukraine.
It now appears Belarus will not get the lethal missiles until after Lukashenko supplies Putin with new exports of potatoes which have spiralled in prices in Russia. The Minsk tyrant has even cancelled sanctions against imports from the EU to stock up to supply Russia.

The Belarus ruler - a Soviet-era potato farmer - told his officials: “There has been a lot of talk, especially after a meeting chaired by the Russian president [Vladimir Putin], who joked about potatoes. The issue is very serious to us. How?
“We know how to grow potatoes above all things. We should grow enough for ourselves and for Russia…. We need to help our brothers, the Russians. Besides, this is not charity. This is good money, good prices.”
This came as Putin previously told a Kremlin audience: “Speaking of potatoes, my father got me into this. It's not easy work, planting these potatoes, then weeding them. Robotics, at first glance, is more interesting….
“Yesterday, I repeat, I also met with representatives of…the agricultural sector. As it turns out we don't have enough potatoes. I talked to Alexander Lukashenko and he said: ‘We have already sold everything to Russia.’”
Lukashenko removed his own ban on importing potatoes from the EU to boost supplies amid the new order from Putin.

Enough about taters.
Where have all the taters gone
Long time passing

Long time ago

Used for vodka every one
Oh when will you ever learn
Oh when will you ever learn
Is that, like, the NATO designation?
MacArthur’s Park is melting in the dark
All the sweet green icing flowing down
Someone left the potato out in the rain
I don’t think that I can take it
‘Cause it took so long to bake it
And I’ll never have that recipe again
Oh, no! Ohh noooooooooo!
I sent a letter to Prime Minister Mishustin about this. The government must figure out what is happening with food prices.”
Coming soon: “Just push off the roof all those dudes setting these crazy prices. That will solve the problem. They must be global homo nazis anyway.”
Sick Tater Putin could try invading Idaho under the pretense of liberating the town of Moscow.
Good grief, hundreds of junk spam about butter & eggs wasn’t enough, now we get hundreds of bullsh*t junk spam about potatoes?
Not to mention the hundreds of bullsh*t junk spam about Putin’s 23 cancers and 10 deaths.
Get out of your Momma’s basement and get a real job, loser!
Tell Putin to plant some potatoes and feed his people.
Get your lazy arse over there and tell him yourself, loser.
