He's obviously compensating for something.
Russian President Dmitry Medvedev had to admit that the camo paint was a bit unnecessary.
What the AP/UPI/Reuters didn't know was that, due to economic troubles in Russia, this photo that was released to Western journalists to show Moscow's military might, was simply a camo painted Tonka truck placed directly over the Russian leader's shoulder, carrying an 11 oz. "Chock Full O'Nuts" coffee can.
As soon as this picture hit the news stands, automotive customizers in East L. A. were bombarded with requests to add industrial-strength hydraulics to customers' 12 ton trucks...
A former Soviet Premier once tried to bully "The Iron Lady" Margaret Thatcher by talking about the 800 mile range of his ballistic missiles, but she was undeterred. She knew the range was probably something more like 500 miles.
Eager to boost his struggling nation's fledgling film industry, President Medvedev poses for a promotional poster for "Transformers III: To the Bolsheviktors Belong the Spoils".

...and remember, Comrade Commander, at Nikita Yaroslav's Paint and Body, for only 69 rubles, I can paint that missile launcher!
