The high discourse on Planet Pepe: "I am going to hang Saakashvili by the balls," Mr Putin declared.Mr Sarkozy thought he had misheard. "Hang him?" he asked.Mr Putin replied: "Why not? The Americans hanged Saddam Hussein."Mr Sarkozy, using the familiar tu, tried to reason with him: "Yes, but do you want to end up like (US President George W.) Bush"Mr Putin was briefly lost for words, then said: "Ah - you have scored a point there."
The juxtaposition with this was striking.
