> Vladimir Putin has broken the law in Turkmenistan by driving to a summit in a black limousine instead of a regulation white or silver car.

Assuming he was even made aware of this rule, Dictators love rephrasing petty nonsense as being a “power move” so Putin probably felt great about this.

Banning a color of car is definitely a culture worth preserving.

Maybe Iran can get the trillions they need for infrastructure from Putin?
Oops – the Russians dont have any money anymore nor do they make anything outside of weapons that has any commercial value, and even those aren’t that good.

Damn. Maybe this will be the thing that rally nails him. God forbid a war criminal breaks a vehicular law. I’m sure they will throw him in jail for such a heinous crime.
