Have you ever wanted the situation in Ukraine transformed into a super pro-Russian YouTube video based on Mortal Kombat?
Of course you have.

The stage opens at the Munich Security Conference with Ukrainian President Peter Poroshenko literally crying like a baby at the podium. And then a new challenger appears.
Poroshenko charges forward, as French President Francois Hollande and German Chancellor Angela Merkel look on.
It...doesn't go well for the former chocolate magnate.
So Poroshenko summons President Barack Obama and then holds up a sign declaring "Je Suis Charlie."
Obama turns invisible and takes some of Putin's lifebar away. Is this a metaphor for the sanctions the U.S. and Europe placed on Russia?
The video is the latest from a YouTube account Ninja Action, which posts videos of animated fight scenes alongside its Mortal Kombat-themed social commentary. As of Monday, this latest slugfest has been viewed more than 300,000 times.
OH MY GOD HE KNOCKED POROSHENKO INTO THE MAIDAN.
Putin delivers the final blow to the weakened Ukrainian.
And then to add insult to fatal injuries, Poroshenko is run over by a convoy of trucks similar to the ones that Russia deployed into Eastern Ukraine as part of a "humanitarian mission" last year.
Though the videos on the Ninja Action channel line up with pro-Russian propaganda, the tagline on its latest video is in Ukrainian: "Агресія. Вторгнення. Зрада."
BuzzFeed News has reached out to the creator of the video for comment on the inspiration behind the series.
Videos that show Putin in a heroic light often go viral on the Russian internet. Less clear is exactly who the maker of many of these videos are, though many are presumed to have ties to the Kremlin or Kremlin-created youth groups.
Now treat yourself to the Mortal Kombat theme that you've had stuck in your head this entire post.
