Putin's invading vandals have destroyed the Antonov An-
225 Mriya in a fit of pique to make up for getting their
arses well and truly kicked by the Ukrainians.
Far from being the genius act described by Trump,
Putin's
invasion has turned into a nightmare massacre of
civilians;
the decimation
of everything that stands above ground
level; the looting of people's homes, and now the
complete
destruction of what was the world's largest plane, the
Antonov An-225 Mriya.
But all is not lost, for we have a world full of idle
billionaires, none of whom have anything much better to
do with their money than to try and outdo each other
with
trips into outer space; swanning around in giant yachts,
and sitting on solid gold toilet seats etc. As well as all
that
indulgence, the idea is get them to compete with each
other to crowd fund the rebuilding of the An-225
Mriya.
Like all crowd funding schemes, there is a minimum
starter
donation. Since the estimated cost of the rebuild is $3
billion, a mere 100 million donation would seem like a
reasonable starting amount. For that you might get your
name prominently inscribed on a clearly visible and vital
component. A billion would win you a complete wing,
and
so it would go until the wonderful Antonov An-225 Mriya
is
flying again, paid for by the billionaires who own
everything else now anyway. It can even feature a copy
of
Trump's famous solid gold toilet seat to make everyone
happy.

Trump's remarks (link) that Putin was a genius for
invading Ukraine can never be excused, and no, I
won't be deleting. Crowd funding the rebuilding of
this plane is a worthy idea and as Trump is one of
the rotten merchants of greed who rule the world
now, he deserves to have his favourite seat of
wisdom located within its confines and pay for the
privilege. |

You're not even offering them any sort of realistic incentive
TO donate to this effort. A better way would be to offer
sanctions relief to individual Russian billionaires for every
X amount they donate to the restoration of the plane, but
that would seem to go against everything you SEEM to
stand for. Who the fuck cares about that plane? Why not
try to get them to donate to Ukraine itself, get Putin's
cohort to directly fund the people he's fighting? This just
seems pointless. |

I saw that thing at Oshkosh one year. I remember being
dumbfounded just by the number of landing gear wheels. |

Not going to add to the bone yard, but as priorities for rebuilding projects in Ukraine go... |
|

Look - it's supposed to be a halfbaked idea, ie the
notion of getting half-witted billionaires engaged
in a semi pointless vanity project, but the
halfbakery is quite humourless these days and
depressingly also a place visited by brain dead
Trumpsters (aka "The I Love Putins"). I also simply
can't resist smoking Trumpsters out into the
sunlight and watching them squirm and fume. It
feels like a sort civic duty. |

would it amuse folks to know that "Anton" is both the Russian
and Ukrainian equivalent of "Dick"? As in you're you're not
getting Dick? |
|
| |
I'm not perfectly certain of the derivation, but if I had to
guess, it's the rhymelike closeness of the word to the Russian
word for condom, which is pronounced "gundon" and is used as
an expletive. |

Hardly even an idea, and spiced with another heaping helping of "orange man bad" [-] |
