Why Putin Invaded Ukraine, Reasons 102-105
……
102. Nobody’s perfect.
103. You post about invading a smaller country all Nazi-like to rid them of Nazis, followed up with an LOL and #latvia, and then tag Volodymyr Zelenskyy, but don’t even receive a like, much less a laughing emoji, from a cool guy you considered a friend.
104. The very same guy reneges on your pact to pose shirtless on horseback for a photoshoot celebrating shirtless men on horseback without the courtesy of so much as a phone call explaining why, thus engendering feelings of rejection anathema to the inherent geniality of the noble steed.
104b. Such feelings were augmented by the breezy yet rugged masculinity on display in the photographs themselves—that’s something you could have shared together and looked back on fondly for years to come.
105. An elaborate April Fool’s prank gone awry. Concealed within a tank was a bar of soap saturated in see-through nail polish, a time-honored Russian Den’ duraka tradition sure to yield “a fake smile and some eye-rolling”1.
