Kyiv continues its unconventional communication despite the war. In a tweet posted on Monday, December 26, the Ukrainian Ministry of Defense posted a video of just over a minute that includes excerpts from the famous film. glass trapthe first installment of the saga intransigent, made in 1988.
“Now I have Himars Ho-Ho-Ho”
The choice of the film does not owe anything to chance, and is explained by the message that accompanies the sequence. “For Christmas, Ukraine is celebrating the festive story of how an arrogant terrorist’s special military operation was thwarted by a bullying outsider,” he said.
A text that takes up the synopsis of the feature film in which Bruce Willis, in the role of John McClane, reduces to nothing the terrorist company led by Hans Gruber, a character camped by Alan Rickman. Implicitly, “the fighting outsider” symbolizes Ukraine, which has managed to turn the tide against the Russian “arrogant terrorist” in recent weeks.
Kyiv goes further by taking an iconic scene from the film in which the hero manages to neutralize a terrorist and writes “now I have a machine gun Ho-Ho-Ho” on his sweater. The airbrushed image now reads “I now have Ho-Ho-Ho Himars”, in reference to the US-supplied rocket launchers.
This is not the first time that the Kyiv regime has used this type of communication, mixing popular references and offbeat humor. In October, a video from the same Ministry of Defense had taken several photographs of France to demand the delivery of Caesar cannons to Paris.
