I mean, that’s just realpolitik. It’s more advantageous for Ukraine to have Russian nazis attacking Russia than it is to denouce them and deprive them of an operating base. Ultimately, the Russian Volunteer Corps’ interests are aligned with Ukraine’s interests in that they both want to depose Putin. As odious as it is, it’s the way global politics are done.

Translation: Bjørn Gulden is putting out feelers to see if Kanye is still universally hated for his antisemitic comments so he can decide whether it would be a good business decision to reinstate the Yeezy line.

I was being metaphorical with the “illiterate” comment. As in, she’s not able to read the writing on the wall.

I’m not sure how anybody could have respect for someone, like Ellis, who was so completely illiterate to not be able to read the incredibly obvious writing on the wall. Trump didn’t morph into a malignant narcissist. That’s always been who he was. Hell - it’s been his brand for as long as he’s been in the public eye. To think that a malignant narcissist would choose to be grateful to you or treat you like a person and not a means to an end is the very height of hubris. Stupid, blind hubris.

Yeah, pretty much.

… What?

Well this is definitely the stupidest bullshit I’ve read all day. It’s exactly akin to people who say that Nostradamus predicted 9/11 or whatever. It’s vague nonsense that can be mapped onto whatever current event you want.

smh Man should’ve watched Key & Peele.

No. They denied that a drone hit them. To deny that something is an attack, you have to first admit that something happened that could be interpreted as an attack. Like a drone hitting your soil. They denied that that happened.

Do you just not understand what you’re reading? Is that the problem? You said: “keywords means of attack”, which makes me think that you think that “means of attack” is somehow a signifier for your point. Which, it’s not. You just don’t understand what that means.

“Means of attack” in this case means a drone. If Ukraine had claimed that Russia accidentally hit Romanian territory with a missile, then “means of attack” would be a missile.

The full sentence, then, with translation (since you apparently don’t understand what it means), is:

“At no time did Russia’s means of attack [drone] generate direct military threats [cause damage, or impact, or explode] on Romanian national territory or waters. [within Romanian borders]”

Which is saying the exact same thing that the pithy one line summary from the article said above this quote:

The Romanian Defence Ministry said Romania was not hit.

Romania denied that a drone hit them. End of story.

What are you even talking about? You said that the Romanian government said it wasn’t intentional, not that it didn’t happen. I then linked you to a direct quote from them saying it didn’t happen. They categorically denied that it happened. Why the hell are you still arguing?

Incorrect. The position of the Romanian government was very much that the first drone didn’t hit them:

The Romanian Defence Ministry said Romania was not hit.

“The ministry of defence categorically denies information from the public space regarding a so-called overnight situation during which Russian drones would have fallen in Romania’s national territory,” it said.

“At no time did Russia’s means of attack generate direct military threats on Romanian national territory or waters.”

Wonder if Klaus feels like an idiot for flat out denying that a drone hit Romania despite the available evidence. Maybe he thought that if he just pretended hard enough, he wouldn’t have to deal with it.

WTF is up with all the NSFW tags, and the massive ChatGPT-like spam?

Maybe it’s just a software lockup. We should stick a paperclip in his ear and trigger a factory reset.

I think the reason you’re puzzled is because you’re coming at it from the perspective that these people are undesirable as American citizens. And while I agree with that assessment, Republican congressmen and senators definitely do not. Guarantee you that there has been a lot of money donated to “the cause” by this family, through fundraiser dinners and the like.

Also, just in a general sense, it’s super difficult to emigrate to the US if you’re not rich, but super easy if you are. Money is the universal lubricator for the gears of government.

Irina is 68 and Republican

Fucking shocker.

Hey - maybe they shouldn’t have been fucking traitors if they didn’t want to be hated. It’s a pretty simple solution, you know.

I love that there’s no skip button lol

Maybe there was, and maybe there wasn’t. Defecting to the country you’re at war with is an incredibly risky endeavor, especially if you’re taking ~$10m worth of military hardware with you. Could be that the crew member(s) who survived just erred on the side of caution and killed anybody they weren’t 100% sure about.

Especially since Ukraine will pay out a bonus. This helicopter should net the crew about $500,000.
