"Not Now Nadia"

An aged former commissar sits in front of the television in his flat watching a broadcast about his former nemesis-America. His wife comes in to tell him to come have his borscht. "Not now Nadia!" he shouts as he is too engrossed, enjoying the victory of international socialism as he watches the United States crumble as a world power and Leninism imposed for the first time on America's people. "Nadia, it is breathtaking, it is a wonder, Obama is delivering Krushchev's victory and without firing a shot". "Good, now come have your soup," implores a wife put upon for fifty years. "I never realized how weak they were, how pliant, what imbeciles- I thought they valued liberty enough to fight but they were all talk, all bluff, I guess they did not really even help so much in the Great Patriotic War", the staunch old Red marvels. Nadia ends the conversation with her old Russian wisdom, "Husband, they are different people now. They no longer even know how to win their wars."
