LUXEMBOURG: Hey, America. How's it going, buddy.
Feeling any better?
AMERICA: Oh, hey, Luxembourg.
Nah, being broke all of a sudden has still got me all MOPEY.
LUXEMBOURG: How'd that whole AFGHANISTAN PRANK play out? Man, I wish I coulda seen your face!
AMERICA: AFGHANISTAN prank?
LUXEMBOURG: You know. The RUSSIA thing.
AMERICA: RUSSIA? Russia broke up with Afghanistan, like, TWENTY YEARS ago.
LUXEMBOURG: Oh...Oh, geez. Wait.
Nobody...nobody TOLD you?
AMERICA: Told me WHAT?!
LUXEMBOURG: Remember how, when Russia was crashing at Afghanistan's place, YOU funneled weapons to the Mujahideen to drive him out?
Big hilarious frat prank?
Well, dude...RUSSIA'S been doing that back to YOU for like FIVE YEARS now.
LUXEMBOURG: Sorry, man. We all thought you knew.
SPAIN was supposed to tell you.
SPAIN: THIS will teach you to never return my calls!
