A nato border

In Ukraine, the decision was made to lease a 1km strip of land along the border to a nato country such as Poland.

That way Ukraine would get the protection of nato without all the complications.

During the negotiations it was suggested to reduce the strip from one kilometer to one meter.

The Ukrainian negotiator said β€œno. Pole Vaulters.”

The nato negotiator said β€œI don’t understand. Yes my name is Vaulters, but I am Latvian.”

A man walks down the street carrying a piece of scaffolding on his shoulder....

A guy across the street yells to him "Hey mate, are you a pole vaulter?"

So the first guy shouts back "No, actually I am originally from Austria but how did you know my name is Walter?"

(You've got to lay the accent on quite thickly for the last part)
