A Russian propagandist made a joke about Russia giving up nuclear weapons by sending them on rockets to the United States. I remember a similar joke from 1971 when Leonid Brezhnev and Richard Nixon tested the newly upgraded hotline. Brezhnev said: “I saw the White House in my nightdream last night.” Nixon responded: ”What is unique about that?” “Above it was a red flag with a hammer and sickle on it,” Brezhnev replied. “It is an interesting coincidence,” Nixon said, “because, in my nightdream, I saw the Kremlin with the red flag above it and something written on that flag.” Curious, Brezhnev asked, “I understand the red flag, but what was written on it?” Nixon answered: “I could not figure it out because it was in Chinese.” That joke is timely because, after the dust settles, China will be the real winner of the war in Ukraine. It might not rule in the Kremlin, but it could de facto control the big part of Siberia.
