A donkey was tied to a tree.
A demon came and released it.
The donkey entered the field of a farmer and began to eat everything.
The farmer’s wife saw the donkey and was afraid that he would destroy the farm, took the rifle and killed him.
The donkey’s owner saw the dead donkey, got angry and also took his rifle and fired at the woman, killing her.
When the farmer got home and saw that his wife was dead, he killed the donkey’s owner.
The donkey owner’s sons seeing their dead father burned the farmer’s field.
The farmer in retaliation killed them.
When they asked the demon what he had done, he said:
– “I did nothing, I just released the donkey.”
Do you get it?
So at the end of the day, Putin will say: ‘I did nothing, I only ordered a “special military operation” to get rid of “Nazis”’.
It’s a lot funnier if you substitute “Monkey” for “Donkey”.
Try it that way and see.
It’s funnier.
I think Vindman said the same thing about Ukraine and his attempt to impeach President Trump.
I also understand that the Nazis tried the same excuse at Nuremberg I.
It’s a lot funnier if you substitute “Manatee” for “Monkey”.
Try it that way and see.
It’s funnier.
Putin started a war. It’s really that simple.
Manatees just flop around and gasp and are hard to tie to trees. Plus they heavy and stinky.
Monkeys are better.
I’m going with the monkeys on this one.
Maybe at his trial, but I don’t think he’ll last that long. If he does, he’s done. Completely done. He is now a pariah.
“Manatees just flop around and gasp and are hard to tie to trees. Plus they heavy and stinky.”
That is why it is so funny!
Maybe if we had some monkees to wrangle the Manatees and
get ‘em in line and stop all that flopping....
In the case of NATO, they not only released the Donkey, they led it to the farmer’s field, gave everyone involved weapons training and ammunition, provided intelligence on everybody’s locations, and then had their controlled media claim they did it “for the freedom of the donkey.”
Chaos Butterfly!
How does this donkey joke fit the Ukraine - Putin war?
Putin acted all by his KGB lonesome. His decision to make war was for personal greed, ego and delusions of past Soviet grandeur. Ukraine provoked none of it. Putin invaded because he wanted to, not because he needed to.
The donkey joke has to do with how the actions of something small can lead to unintended consequence (cause and effect or action/reaction).
The joke relates in no way in having an allegorical interpretation that compares to Ukraine - Putin.
Putin made a decision, and was not caused by something. He made up his mind to invade Ukraine 20 years before Feb 24 2022. Putin is an opportunist and made sure his timing was to his advantage, not because his decision was caused. Like his invasion into Crimea Peninsula... Ukraine was all about timing and opportunity. Opportunity to take advantage of a weak US President and his past that allowed Putin to take Crimea in 2014.
Putin = Aggression + timing + opportunity... not analogous to some butterfly-effect Donkey joke.
Nothing is as simple as that, as you so naively boil it down to one factor, when many factors have been at play for years. There was a lot going on that led up to Putin's decision. One being the fomenting of the 2014 coup of a duly elected president in Ukraine
What you do not realize or accept is that we would have done the same thing had the tables been turned around and it was the U.S. that was being threatened by all the nations surrounding us turning communist, but never actually taking us on directly.
The treat of the spread of communism is what got us into Korea first, and then Vietnam later. Imagine what the response would have been had it been even closer to home. In fact, Cuba almost sent us into a nuclear war.
However, the bigger issue that escapes you completely, is that this is playing right into the hands of the global elites, and the Great Reset plan.
If you've ever been up close to a monkey...nothing stinks worse than monkey. Nothing.
They are WAY more easy to handle than floppy-ass manatees.
Monkees EVERYTIME there’s a choice over Manatees.
Afghanistan was legit, at least at first. Once the idiocy of nation building started was when that went off the rails.
I’d say there’s much more of a case for war crimes with what Obama and McCain did in both Libya and Syria. There was no critical national security interest for the US in either country and there still isn’t.
The difference was and always will be the US formed an international coalition supported by the U.N.
Putin just wants Ukraine.
Do you not see that?
I find it hard to go back in history to find an action wherein the US unilaterally addressed an nation.
And The Monkees music is upbeat and fun.
Here we come, walkin’ down the street.
We get the funniest looks from everyone we meet
Hey, hey, we’re the Monkees and people say we monkey around
But we’re too busy singing to put anybody down
