An 8-panel Phoebe Teaching Joey meme.
The first panel is Phoebe from Friends saying “Russia”.
The second panel is Joey from the same show replying with “Russia”.
The third panel is Phoebe saying “has invaded”.
The fourth panel is Joey repeating back “has invaded”.
The fifth panel is Phoebe saying “Ukraine”.
The sixth panel is Joey repeating back “Ukraine”.
The seventh panel is Phoebe saying the completed phrase “Russia has invaded Ukraine”.
The final panel shows Joey proudly proclaiming “NATO just started a proxy war”.
And how are you going to do that without guaranteed nuclear armageddon for all?
Proxy wars, of course.
Of course.
Just put it on the pile with the rest of them.
Apart from the brief respite of peacetime known as World War II, I’m not sure there’s been a point in the last 100 years where they haven’t been in some sort of proxy war with each other.
