Reply to comment by Fake_William_Shatner in Belarus’ KGB claims US “may invade Belarus from Poland” by Sisyphuzz

LOL. I respect that sort of pragmatism. I still have 500 business cards from an old job.

Belarus KGB Leader: "Comrades, we have no independence from old rulers, same as new rulers, so, why should we go through any effort to put lipstick on pig."

Crowd: "Hooray!"

Belarus KGB Leader: "Simmer down now. I expected far less energy and applause. This is going to be a marathon, not a sprint -- save some of that for next year's company potato sack race."
