MOSCOW—President Vladimir Putin has once again postponed his army's land invasion of Ukraine because he has a dentist appointment today and he's already rescheduled twice. Though the appointment is for a routine cleaning, the Russian president feels it would be rude to reschedule yet again.
"I do very much want to invade Ukraine, but I just can't push this dental appointment off any further," said Putin. "They charge you 1500 Rubles every time you cancel. I can't stand those little charges. Plus, I feel like if I cancel again they'll be really annoyed with me—which could cause them to speak poorly of me which would then require me to poison them with Novichok nerve agent. We can't have that!"
President Biden, who has so far insisted that artillery bombardment of Ukraine doesn't yet constitute an invasion, has called out Putin for being a trickster. "Look, folks," said Biden to a Russian nesting doll he mistook for the Ukrainian ambassador. "My poll numbers will go up if Russia invades so we've got to get this done! You get me, Jack? This dental work is just a smokescreen. Mark my words, he'll invade tonight!"
The Kremlin has reported that even if the dental appointment goes well he will not commit to a Ukrainian invasion tomorrow. Military experts speculate this is because it makes no sense for him to tell anyone when and if he's invading.
At publishing time, Putin had two cavities and the dentist had mysteriously disappeared.

"They're here among us," alien specialist Donny Marcus told the press. "I've been studying these beings for years — they're smart, and they're resourceful. It took no time at all for them to defraud Tim Walz's government of billions through Medicare and Medicaid fraud. The government didn't even ask why they needed the money; they just forked it over. The invasion people have been anticipating has been happening right under our noses all along."
"The Democratic Party would be winning in a landslide if it weren't for that confounded Constitution," said House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries. "We have so many great ideas on how to win, but people keep saying things like 'Hey, that's illegal' or 'That's literally a crime.' It's becoming disheartening."
"This is way easier," said Democratic Governor Abigail Spanberger. "We're tackling the real issue, which is Republicans being allowed to vote at all. There will be no more campaigning, no more counting ballots. That stuff is such a hassle anyway."
