    It's an April's Fool Day video. It starts off with small inaccuracies and builds toward every increasing outrageous claims until it's just over the top. It's done well and sucks you in if you don't know what's going on beforehand. When I first watched it, I was taken in until I realized what was going on

    I didn't realize it was a joke and wasn't going to bother watching. Pretty funny.
    We could isolate Russia totally from the world and maybe they could apply for membership after 2000 years.

    As an added bonus, Youtube suggested Paul Harrell's home defense gun video. Starting with the S&W M29. I didn't last much farther.

    Actually those are very popular, even the USGI surplus. If you called it iconic that would be an honest description.
    In the P-F basket of deplorables.

    You say "spending a lot of taxpayer money", I say, if it wasn't $50-million you're okay.
