It has that context in English too. Problem is in the context used, it reads more like the insult. I'll take him at his word though


It really doesn't, or at least not in the English I speak and heard (who says "bitch" when they spill milk on the counter?). "Fuck" is a closer approximation, or "darn" for Americans I guess.

I like to believe that a good portion of the war hawks just say what they do for posturing, but wouldn't actually do it if they were a decision maker. When I call for wars, I know I'm aware that I won't do it if the target is too powerful. I just love the "stoking the tensions" game for its own sake. Its all in the theatrics.

Like that one time a Senator wanted a No-Fly zone over Syria.

Wait, is it the same Senator??? LOL
Luxembourg's luck has finally turned in their favor, and the German nation has forced to concede to a collaboration government with the Luxembourgish, creating the great nation of Luxenermy. Now, that luck has extended to the German people as well. A great time for both peoples.

The West won the world not by the superiority of its ideas or values or religion … but rather by its superiority in applying organized violence. Westerners often forget this fact; non-Westerners never do.

The most fundamental problem of politics is not the control of wickedness but the limitation of righteousness.

Putin trying to go nuclear is probably the point where he dies of a self-inflicted gunshot to the back of the head.

It shouldn't be too late for Putin to admit that he was wrong and to have Russia completely call off the invasion in exchange for Ukraine signing a treaty that'll have them cooperate in transporting Russia's energy to Europe duty free on a permanent basis. Ukraine can join the EU in exchange for not joining NATO and so on. But if Russia can't secure conditions that benefit them, they have the incentive to keep this war going to try to replace Ukraine's government, regardless of the cost to Russia.

Not at all likely. He'd truly have lost it at that point, I would see him flatten Kyiv faster than he'd do that much.

He and medev have said a world without Russia is not worth having. The words are very scary.

They're winning because they're avoiding large battles where the Ukrainains in defensive postions would have the postion, instead manuvering around them.
