Twitter unveiled a fun little feature this week that allows nostalgic users to go back and find their very first tweet. And — in file this under you can’t make this stuff up — Russian President Vladimir Putin’s first ever tweet in 2012 seems to be a congratulatory note to his frenemy, President Obama:

Vladimir Putin @PutinRF_Eng Follow
Congratulations to US President-elect Barack Obama

Most repukes sound like total Neanderthals compared to him. Maybe I should not say that. Its an insult to Neanderthals.
