America has the Sports Illustrated swimsuit issue. Russia has a Vladimir Putin calendar.
Score one for America.
The 2019 Putin calendar features images of the Russian president in a range of poses.
He’s sitting with a leopard. He’s holding an adorable puppy. He’s smiling with beauty pageant contestants.
And, of course, he’s shirtless in an ice bath.
Russian state media is reporting the calendar is “selling off the shelves” all over the world, “especially in the West.”
That same media, of course, that is controlled by Putin.
No word on whether President Trump has picked up his copy of his favorite world leader yet.
Hopefully he won’t get any ideas.
