The enemy plane crashed but the Corsair pilot made it back to base, receiving the Navy Cross for his actions. by hipster_deckard

A Ukrainian and a Russian find a lamp at the battlefield at the same time, and rub it at the same time. The genie appears and grant one wish to each of them. The Russian rush to make a wish: "I want that every meter of Russian ground cover a giant reserve of petroleum, for my mother land dominate the world!" The Ukrainian ask to the genie: "do you will really do that?" "already done, trillions of billions of oil in the ground. " "Ok. So, lit it up!"
