But that was when I ruled the world. The sound of drums, people couldn't believe what I'd become.

The thing is, those Russians will probably believe anything they hear from Putin's goons.
I mean, they don't seem to be very well informed.
They had soldiers digging holes into the highly-radioactive, poisoned soil around the Chernobyl site, after all. How bright can they be?

Quotes
Sgt. Barnes: Talking about killing? Y'all experts? Y'all know about killing? I'd like to hear about it, potheads.
[takes pipe and inhales drag]
Sgt. Barnes: Why do you smoke this shit? So as to escape from reality? Me, I don't need this shit. I am reality. There's the way it ought to be. And there's the way it is. Elias was full of shit. Elias was a crusader. Now, I got no fight with any man who does what he's told, but when he don't, the machine breaks down. And when the machine breaks down, we break down. And I ain't gonna allow that in any of you. Not one.
[hands pipe back and spits]
Sgt. Barnes: Y'all love Elias. Oh, you wanna kick ass. Yeah. Well, here I am, all by my lonesome, and ain't nobody gonna know. Six of you boys against me. Kill me. Huh. I shit on all of you.

Salesman
Also, "Salesman." I saw that in a dream while sleeping recently. I saw myself going through an induction process in the United States Marine Corps and I woke up understanding that I was dreaming of my actual experience in 1990. I saw a document that indicated I was being inducted to the United States Marine Corps with the officer grade of Chief Warrant Officer 2. I saw in the dream another document associated with my induction and that document indicated I had been assigned the informal name "Salesman."
"New Kids on the Blecch" (The Simpsons)
Original Airdate on FOX: 25-Feb-2001
(from internet transcript)
Bart asks everyone to "ball-walk," and the audience does so. In Lt. Smash's mind the children, dancing in unison, turn into soldiers marching in formation. They do battle with hippies riding a giant praying mantis. The hippies, shouting anti-American slogans, fire flowers back at the soldiers. One man takes a hit.
One of Smash's superior officers jolts him back to reality.
Admiral: Lieutenant! Lt. Smash!
Smash: Oh, Admiral.
Admiral: That hippie fantasy again?
Smash: They're getting less frequent, sir.
Admiral: Excellent. [the two men walk onto the bridge of the ship. The admiral closes the door behind them] Well, there's no easy way to say this. The new administration is shutting down Project Boy Band.
Smash: Shutting it down? Permission to say that's crazy, sir.
Admiral: You won't say it's crazy when you see next week's issue of "Mad Magazine." [holds up an advance copy, which reads, "We flush the Party Posse"]
Smash: Oh, dear God.
