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 — who was appointed by Putin to meet
with U.S. special envoy Steve Witkoff in November for Ukraine
peace talks — 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 ...
