Putin's joke

He was pleased with it. But some might not find the Russian president's geography lesson so funny.
Summary:
Russian President Vladimir Putin attended an award show for geography whizz-kids. Putin asked a kid, "what can you impress U.S. with?" The kid answered, "I know all the borders, countries, contours, and capitals." Then Putin asked, "so where does Russia's border end?" The boy answered it correctly, "Russia's border ends at the Bering Strait, at the border with the U.S.A." Putin then joked, "Russia's border doesn't end anywhere. That was a joke."
At the end of the video, there are subtitles about Russia annexed Crimea from Ukraine.
Comment:
I think Putin is an admirable person. He is ambitious but he doesn't go too far. With a bit humor, he made the award more interesting. His joke was mainly on the United States, so it doesn't bother me at all, though American people might find it offensive. We all need the sense of humor to make life easier and funnier. Life without humor must be a tragedy.
