Detournement Posted March 16, 2022 Share Posted March 16, 2022 7 minutes ago, ICTChris said: Apparently Putin said on his speech that the West is trying to “cancel Russia”. looking forward to his next speech where he complains that “they say it in those rap songs but it’s not alright if I say it?”. It would be interesting to see the context in which that was translated. There was a BBC interview with Lukashenko last year where he and the interviewer were using the same Russian word but the BBC were translating it differently to make Lukashenko appear more aggressive. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

vikingTON Posted March 16, 2022 Share Posted March 16, 2022 Sleepy Joe being bundled into labelling Putin "a war criminal" by the liberal press and no doubt Clinton-legacy psychos in his administration as well, just as both Ukraine and Russia were beginning to approach negotiations like adults. Undermining a plausible ceasefire for the sake of moral self-righteousness on Twitter and a +1 bounce in the polls for a fortnight: Talleyrand must be spinning in his grave. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As soon as the sanctions kicked in, I knew angry divorced dads on the internet would be claiming Russia was being cancelled, but the actual president of the country? Ooft. He and The Donald really did learn a lot from each other. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is some ominous stuff in there about a defined western response to the African population explosion and the division of the Middle East in friends and enemies. Funnily he mentions that communist China is overtaking the West because it's less bureaucratic. https://www.theguardian.com/world/2022/mar/15/tony-blair-west-has-fortnight-to-help-end-war-in-ukraine The full thing https://institute.global/tony-blair/immediate-challenge-ukraine-maximum-pressure-combined-structured-negotiation Translation: More autocratic. Blair's big bleat back in the day was that as Prime Minister in peacetime due to the various unfortunate checks/balances/competing interests associated with government in peacetime, he never felt that he was really achieving anything. Whereas, in a nice war, he could really get stuck in and obliterate a bad guy. Edited March 16, 2022 by beefybake 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was wondering if it might be the start of an internal coup whilst Lukashenka's potential hauners were occupied elsewhere. TBH, Belarus are probably more objectionable than Russia...in human terms, they'd be the wee fanny that hangs about ingratiating himself with the local nutcase and thinks he's bulletproof as a result. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
