Russian President Vladimir Putin's close ally and Kremlin
negotiator Kirill Dmitriev mocked newly sworn in New York
City Mayor Zohran Mamdani on Friday, responding to
Mamdani's collectivist rhetoric with a "Simpsons" meme.
During his swearing-in ceremony on Thursday, Mamdani vowed
that his administration "will replace the frigidity of
rugged individualism with the warmth of collectivism,"
drawing cheers from supporters.
Dmitriev, the Harvard-educated head of Russia's sovereign
wealth fund, quickly responded on X, addressing the self-
described democratic socialist as "comrade." He ridiculed
Mamdani's left-wing message with what he called a "friendly
reminder" that collectivism has "been tried before."
The Russian official rCo who was appointed by Putin to meet
with U.S. special envoy Steve Witkoff in November for Ukraine
peace talks rCo escalated the mockery with another post,
sharing a "Simpsons" GIF of Russian communist revolutionary
Vladimir Lenin shuffling like a zombie accompanied by the
caption: "Must crush capitalism!"
. . .
Shit, when even the old Commies razz you ! :-)
My guess is that Trump is just gonna LET him
destroy the city ...
