Zhirinovsky understood Lukashenko’s joke in his own way
LDPR leader Vladimir Zhirinovsky was not offended by the openly anti-Semitic joke that Belarusian President Alexander Lukashenko publicly told about him today.
In response, the Russian politician invited the Belarusian leader to have a drink together, a PolitNavigator correspondent reports.
“I understand from your last joke about me that you want to have a drink with me. But since we cannot travel abroad - we will have to sit in quarantine for 2 weeks - I suggest you meet at the Belarusian-Russian border in the Smolensk region.
There, our governor Alexey Ostrovsky will set the table for us, you and I will sit, drink 50 grams of Russian vodka, 50 grams of zubrovka each for the health of Russians and Belarusians, have a good time and go away. And if necessary, then we’ll organize a Russian-Belarusian bathhouse there,” Zhirinovsky wrote in his Telegram channel.
The spat between two veterans of post-Soviet politics began with Zhirinovsky ridiculing Lukashenko’s advice to treat coronavirus with vodka, a bath and working on a tractor. The LDPR leader said that the Belarusian president “remained the chairman of the collective farm.”
Lukashenko today responded to this with a not funny anecdote that Zhirinovsky “drinks like a Jew both before and after the bath.”
