Thunderbirds Are Go!

I think the problem with the Russian President - Vladimir Putin - might be that he has no sense of humour, no sense of the ridiculous - and that he takes himself far too seriously.

Virgil Tracey

For example here's a picture of Virgil Tracy - another all action figure (daring Pilot of Thunderbird 2 of course) and star of the hit TV show and movie - Thunderbirds.

Vladimir Putin

Now to my mind there's an uncanny resemblance between Virgil and Vladimir - they're both square-jawed, all-action figures - their names both begin with V - and they both like pointy hats and silly uniforms.

So why not lighten up a bit Vlad - laugh at yourself a little bit - the world (including Russia) would be a much better place.
