What if I did have a micro Nation State and had a diplomatic channel with Putin ?

 Here's what I would sing, possibly with Macron on bongo drums:

A lot of people's fathers died in 2008....

When many people are being killed,They should be mourned in heartfelt sorrow. That is why a victory must be observed like a funeral.  --- Lao Tzu

زوروا القُبور فإنها تذكركم الأخرة

“Visit the graves; for visiting them becomes the cause of remembering the next world.”

ولا تُصلِّ على أحد منهم مات أبداً ولا تقم على قبره إنهم كفروا بالله ورسوله وماتوا وهُم فاسقون.

And never offer prayer for any one of them who dies and do not stand by his grave, surely they disbelieve in God.
