Trump: Vlad, my poll numbers are in the tank, the FBI is closing in on me and my friends and a new job report is coming out next week that doesn't look good. Can ya help a brotha out?
Putin: Yes, Donald, you will hold line please.
Bashar? Vlad. Listen, Russia need you to do favor. Drop some sarin on a village, da? Will send you couple new jets and anti-missile launchers through comrades in Iran. Deal? Da is good.
Hello, Donald? Is all set. Bashar will drop some sarin, kill some babies, you will act all Presidential cowboy and blow some holes in empty Syrian airfield. You look good, get good numbers, Russia has reason to send more military to Med Sea. Win-win.
Trump: *sniff* Thanks buddy. I knew I could count on ya!
