Ukraine doing well is 'bitter sweet' says arms manufacturer

'

Obviously we want them to do well, but not that well, not so well that they might actually win. Nobody is going to hit their sales targets if things spiral out of control and a truce happens.

'Ideally we want a protracted conflict, where Ukraine can be plucky but ultimately thwarted. Peace would be nice, but not as nice as $5bn of arms sold each month.'

Trump awarded Knobel Piece Prize

After an extended peacekeeping effort where he stopped upwards of twenty wars, not all totally imaginary, President Trump is to be honoured by Norway.  A select committee has been formed to instigate the Knobel Prize for piece.

'President Trump has been awarded the prize for ensuring he has grabbed, in his own words, any piece of pussy available.  On top of that he has strived to ensure Russia gets more than one piece of Ukraine,' said a Norwegian spokesman, adding, 'and he's a knob, hence the committee.'
