Sorrow Fate of the Kallas List

And the Secretary-General Talking to a Dog

Meanwhile, an extraordinary imagination was demonstrated by NATO Secretary-General Mark Rutte. At the Munich Security Conference, he told the world about … his conversation with a dog regarding the prospects of Kyiv’s military leadership. Some classic jokes come to mind:

A man sees an acquaintance playing chess with a dog.

– Wow, what a smart dog you have!

– What do you mean by smart? The score is 3:2. I’m winning!

An Englishman reads a newspaper advertisement: “Talking dog for sale.” He goes to the address; they show him the dog. He asks, “How did you learn to talk?” Dog: “In my youth, I worked as a mountain rescuer in the Alps. Then I served as a sapper in Iraq.” The Englishman, shocked, asks the owner, “Why are you selling such an incredible dog?” The owner responds, furious: “Because it always tells lies!!! It has never been to Iraq whatsoever!”

If you talk to a cat or a dog, it means you have acute psychosis. If you’re afraid of saying too much around your pet, that’s paranoia. If the animal talks inside your head, it’s schizophrenia. If, however, you complain to your pet, it stays silent and ignores you, and you can’t stand it—it’s neurasthenia.

As for how far Rutte has gone in these medical conditions depicted in the jokes and what to diagnose the European politician with—that, as they say, is up to you…
