First there was this guy

Who Tweeted this

And this guy picked it up and ran with it

Then he thought again and tried to get  rid of it

Until this guy said it was a great idea

And checkmated this guy

Who got all humpy about it before he realized that he’d just been pantsed in front of the entire world by an enemy of the USA who gave him a way out of the quagmire he was being forced to step into by his very own words.

The way out was facilitated by the Obama MSM propaganda machine who threw all credit to Vladimir Putin for giving POTUS a way to save face. Pheeew.

So here’s to Putin on The Overnight Open Thread.
