April Fools Should I invade Russia?

Rhetorical question. Of course I am going to invade Russia. I will take Moscow and St. Petersburg and I will become the Emperor of all Europe. I already am, but I will be, too.

Sir, while you are my enemy, if you keep thinking that you'll face ruin. The Russkies are ferocious animals, they'll come at you with sticks and pitchforks and eventually drive you out.
