How is this going to impact my taxable income? (That last one is actually the slogan of the Moscow Taco Bell)

March 2022

“There has been fierce Ukrainian resistance to the Russian invasion, which has led some Russian troops to abandon their arms and tanks. Ukrainian authorities have gone as far as to say that citizens don’t need to declare captured Russian tanks and military equipment for tax purposes. Well, that is great news, because we’ve all been there. You come across an abandoned Russian T-72 BT tank and your first thought is ‘how is this going to impact my taxable income?’” —Stephen Colbert

“There is a clip of a Ukrainian grandmother who explained how she learned to make molotov cocktails by looking on Google. Ugh, Googling molotov cocktails is always such a pain. Because first you have to scroll through a whole blogpost — ‘as a busy mom, it can be tough to find an explosives recipe that works for the whole family. By the time I get Kayleigh and Braxton home from soccer practice, I just want a 30-minute way to vanquish the armies of darkness. Thank goodness for my Cosori air fryer.’” —Stephen Colbert

“To get around internet censorship in Russia, people have been posting Google reviews for restaurants in Moscow and St. Petersburg with information on the war in Ukraine, such as ‘Your president started a war against Ukraine. Your government is lying to you!’ and ‘This is a no win situation for all.’ That last one is actually the slogan of the Moscow Taco Bell.” —Stephen Colbert
