Huh, so now I checked and realised that this isn't Aeschylus' Oresteia (and Aeschylus is the oldest preserved and stylistically most traditional of the survivng Greek tragedians, I'm sure he'd never use such brief lines in dialogues), instead it's Euripides' Orestes, and he's definitely closer to this sort of style, relatively more modern.
Φρύξ οὐκ ἄρα κτενεῖς με;
Ὀρέστης ἀφεῖσαι.
Φρύξ καλὸν ἔπος λέγεις τόδε.
Ὀρέστης ἀλλὰ μεταβουλευσόμεσθα.
Φρύξ τοῦτο δ᾽ οὐ καλῶς λέγεις.
Translated by Edward Philip Coleridge:
Phrygian You will not kill me after all?
Orestes You are spared.
Phrygian How well you said that!
Orestes Now it's time to change my plans.
Phrygian You didn't say that well!
This translation is relatively accurate, from what I can tell. Certainly the punchy 'fabulous' is not reflective of the slightly longer statement in the original. The verb ἀφεῖσαι apparently can be translated as 'go', but a dictionary I consulted also provides 'to release, absolve' as one of the other meanings. But the overall effect of the exchange was clearly meant to be humorous, so the translation in OP does succeed in that regard...
That translation is so liberal Hexbear would brigade it.
They're the same picture.

Is there any proof of this?
Edit: So, no proof indeed, just downvotes? Lol, alright.
Kruschev
Actually Khrushchev. For some reason, х gets converted to kh. The rest is slightly stupid but at least understandable why it is so - щ was historically ш+ч, thus sh+ch (this pronunciation is still normal in Ukrainian, but not in Russian anymore), and the 'e' is just based on the usual spelling.
That's... absolutely not a dinosaur.
If the Russians remove too much from the Far East though, China is going to rename Vladivostok to Haishenwai.
Are there any real pretensions on the territory on China's part? It sounds like it would just cause more problems than it's worth (though it's not like that fact prevented Putin from attacking Ukraine), and possibly kill off BRICS.
I hope you're right. Because in general the reaction of the Russian population to the war has been so meek, I'm starting to doubt it would be any different once recruitment starts hitting the biggest cities.
I don't understand anything, but lmao that third stanza
