A Simple Substitution Cipher


Hey kids, here's a fun one!
Ciphertext:

“Von Ribbentrop  dotes on  Molotov.”


[Cryptanalysis:  This string was formed by substituting “Von Ribbentrop” for Trump, and “Molotov” for Putin, in the plaintext.
C if U can make sense of this !]



Endnote for the expert:
The above-instanced cryptosystem is an example of what is technically known as a Caesar cipher:  so named because it alliterates  and sounds kewl.
