“Tomorrow is shaping up to be a beautiful sunny day,” a weather forecaster on Russian TV announces. “The weather will allow us to engage in many important activities, like, for instance, bomb Syria.”
The weather map behind the newscaster changes to show images of exploding bombs and blown up buildings.
“Lack of precipitation will give our fighter airplanes perfect visibility,” the newscaster continues calmly, outlining the prospects for a successful bombing of a country her compatriots know nothing about and have no reason to dislike.
This is a regular daily forecast in a country of 140 million who have all gone collectively mad. Just two weeks ago, they had no idea they were about to start hating Syria, but today they are passionately invested in this newfound hatred.
