Dumb stories

Throughout my life, which is about six decades at this point, I have heard stories which sounded a bit stupid and ridiculous. Recently, I have heard a couple of those. One of them was that the ICC will arrest Vladimir Putin. The other one is that Ukraine will defeat Russia in this current war. The first is highly unlikely. The latter is borderline impossible, since we'd all be regressed back to caveman times in a collapse of society from the widespread radiation based on the ultimate decision Putin would make, if there are survivors. We've even made movies like Mad Max with relevance to this possibility, but seemingly we don't remember anymore. Stories are usually entertaining, even if they sound dumb, so keep on telling them.
