Russian Embassy Just Went After Trump's Space Force, Releases Their Own Logo

Donald Trump is so excited by his shiny new thing, the Space Force™, that he very kindly asks that everyone stop thinking about conspiring with the Russian government to win the 2016 election, or his son’s meeting with a Russian government lawyer, or the fact that the entire Republican party has seemingly been infiltrated by Russian spies.
