It’s always Shark Week in Putin’s world. That doesn’t bode well for Trump’s Ukraine peace hopes “I would say that the orca is, without doubt, a formidable predator, yet it is also a highly intelligent creature, a cunning one,” he said. “The collective West, for its part, was assigned a specific definition in the Soviet era, which remains current to this day – the sharks of imperialism.” Sharks and orcas may not quite be the same class of animal, but Putin continued with his analogy. “The thrust of my remarks was that if anyone attempts to drag us down the food chain and devour us, to consume us, they would be well advised to expect their teeth to be broken,” he said. “And Russia stands ready to do precisely that, despite the insatiable appetites and ever-sharpening teeth of these sharks.”
