Letters to Leonid the Cold Lion: #3

Dear Leonid,
I know you have a lot going on being the new president of Russia, but I wanted to let you know that the government punishing Captain Cosmo over his Olympic whining by destroying his personal electronics was unacceptable. Then again at the time, Russia was ruled by that soulless human, Putin, and I could care less about the good things he did for Russia, which includes better environmental initiatives. That whole thing was just absolutely barbaric and a complete waste of government money, resources, and military power. In fact, I think it's criminal that this was allowed, since that's taking someone's personal property and destroying them.
Now I'm not defending what Captain Cosmo did when he decided to complain and cry about not being able to attend the 2020 Summer Olympics in Japan day in and day out to the point that I couldn't sleep. I understand his frustration and depression, but that's just childish. At the same time, using military force to illegally confiscate his electronics then destroying them on live TV in public view? What does that say about Russia to the world? When Rainier got in trouble for performing the Banana Boat Song (or Day-O) in marching band gear, the Canadians demonstrated creativity by having him compete against Gourmet Gopher in an Iron Chef style competition where they must make dishes using bananas, as the featured theme ingredient of the competition, as a form of punishment for Rainier. Because of that, the world sees Canada as being innovative, whereas with Russia, the world sees us as uncivilized.
We all know the real Russia is nothing compared to the cold mean stereotypes that western media tends to portray us as when Putin was in power. We desire happiness and fun too. So anyways, I got a question for you. If you were in charge of Captain Cosmo's punishment after the marching punishment for his whining about the 2020 Summer Olympics that kept us up day in and day out, what would you do to him instead of using the Russian military to confiscate his personal electronics to destroy them so he can't use them to vent on social media?

P.S.: I used to live in Kashira in Moscow Oblast, but accepted a job offer in Australia to work in health information there so I immigrated there. Australia's wildlife and environment may seem absurd, but at least the people there are kind, have incredible comfortable homes, stable lives with good pay, pretty much everything I look for in happiness. Feel free to tell Len the Outback Lion that I said hi.
Leonid's reply:
Dear Doroteya:
Though I am sad to see our people go, I wish for the happiest lives for them, so I am glad you found the life you wanted down under in Australia, and I'll definitely tell Len you said hello. I've been there many times, and the emus especially drive me nuts. They're so disobedient!
I agree with you when I say that it was unacceptable for the government to destroy everything the way they did. Even SuperCat was questioning the methods, and he was a witness (because they had at least had the sense to take Captain Cosmo's communicator and give it to him; if they had destroyed that, he'd take them to court over it). What Captain Cosmo did was unacceptable as well, don't get me wrong, but the people who chose to mob him over it only made it worse. Thus, when I blew up over the whole thing (as well as blowing up at all the dopers), it was the meltdown to end all meltdowns, and somebody sent me an Olympic-style gold medal to rub it in. (The same man sent a silver medal to Lennart the Viking Lion of Sweden for his performance in pursuing the AIRAF and destroying their HQ, only to have Cripto intervene and save them for the law, and a bronze to Levi the Mountee Lion of Canada for suspending Parliament and firing a large amount of people in it, simply because of their childish behavior and their obsessions with Justin Trudeau's photos of him doing the unforgivable act of appearing in blackface. Who in their right mind does that? Nobody!)
I do not think I would do the Iron Chef-equse competition, although that's not a bad idea, because Gourmet Gopher isn't always available. He's up to his eyeballs in working running that restaurant of his. I'd probably double or triple the marching punishment, but break it up, so that the wolf would spent multiple days in a row hiking with the bass drum on his back. Now I had to do it, too, mind you, so I'd be giving it to myself for blowing up. After the hike is finished, he'd do community service, and because music has the power to make people behave (at least if the Forsythians are the ones playing it), I'd request that Cold Snare teach Captain Cosmo how to beat a drum, or at least get him to try out different musical instruments until he found one he liked. Then he'd spend an hour a day drumming, or practicing the instrument. Why? It would get his mind off complaining. I have a feeling he'd object.
Hope that answers the question for you.
Yours truly,
Leonid Markowski, a.k.a. Leonid the Cold Lion
President of the Russian Federation

Zachary/Zihao: So basically a similar punishment used on me.
Chuong: The Iron Chef style competitions are just part of creative punishment when food is involved, even indirectly, during deviant behavior. Thus when Rainier performed the song about bananas, that punishment was appropriate. It's all about making the punishment fit the crimes they say.
Zax: If they destroyed his G-52 issued communicator, he would have every right to sue his government and be awarded compensation for the damage. In the end, punishments must fit the crimes. For example, if Moon Moon loudly complains about durian, his punishment is to be exposed to a dish or food item that uses durian before eating it. If I loudly complain about churros with matcha chocolate, the punishment is to eat matcha churro on livestream.
Chuong: It's not that bad.
Juno: Sorry but that doesn't work for me. You can have your matcha churros. I'll have my churros con cajeta instead.
Zax: Churros con cajeta are the best.

Leo: Not just on you, Zachary, but on others. The Drumbums who volunteered in those marching punishments all said they were grateful they didn't have to play the Rouge's March; if the Commander (Super C) ever excommunicates a G-52, they'll play it.
Super C: Is that what they would play if somebody got a dishonorable discharge?
Leo: Something like that.
Cripto: Matcha chocolate? I don't believe I've ever heard of that.
Doughty Dog: Do you hate that as much as Chuong hates durian, Zax?
Rouge's March: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xt-zFMJUQ0w

Zax: I wouldn't say I hate it that much. It's something that isn't really my thing.
Juno: I'm not too crazy for it and I do hate it being on churros.
Zax: I was gonna say the same thing. I'd rather much take melon cream soda over matcha chocolate anytime of the day even though melon cream sodas are a Japanese thing.
Chuong: Melon cream sodas are best for summer!
Juno: I'm not too crazy for it and I do hate it being on churros.
Zax: I was gonna say the same thing. I'd rather much take melon cream soda over matcha chocolate anytime of the day even though melon cream sodas are a Japanese thing.
Chuong: Melon cream sodas are best for summer!
Leo: So what's wrong with the matcha? Is it sour?
Super C: Or is it way too sweet compared to normal chocolate?
Super C: Or is it way too sweet compared to normal chocolate?
Zax: Matcha is tea and the fact that it is used as a dessert ingredient seems weird to me. Apparently Moon Moon likes matcha gelato.
Chuong: This little arctic fox Zax likes frutti di bosco gelato.
Chuong: This little arctic fox Zax likes frutti di bosco gelato.
Leo: I see.
Super C: Frutti di bosco gelato. Interesting.
Leo: I bet you Leonardo's eaten that.

Zax: I love it and he'll know exactly what you're talking about.
