Ukraine and the Russian invasion, 2022-24

[The39thStep]

That's no excuse, you will henceforth each time be required to replace "defang" with "must be rendered unable to go in for this sort of adventurism again"

Tbf anyone on here who occasionally mixes with normal people would have to explain their new in word in some sort of way to avoid people staring and pointing at them .

 

[Spymaster]

I've been defenestrating oligarchs for a living wage,
For a psychopathic person it's an interesting job.

It's a job that just suits me,
defen-es-trating you would be,
If you could see what I can see,
When I'm bouncing Russians.

Or just let them look it up in a dictionary; it's a 20th century coinage but hardly a U75 buzzword.

Always in the kitchen at parties syndrome

Always in the kitchen at parties syndrome

Can you explain that to me?

 

[maomao]

I took it I was being accused of being dull.

Maybe should have just said that then.

 

[Artaxerxes]

It’s a song lyric and yes it means your being dull.


Defang is fairly common analogy though, it’s not some obscure esoteric online only maxim like praxis

So the term "defang" is too oblique but everybody's expected to get a reference to a minor hit from 42 years ago.

The thing is though, that you did and even got the year right.

The other fast food companies (not to laud them or anything) seem to have effectively backed out. McDonalds is now famously Tasty Period.

they left major site in Russia and they got rebranded by sticking labels over old McDonald stock like sauces and food packaging look up pictures on the web. plus MC Donald's going to russian had some political history seen as opening up to the guess the government got involved to ensure that changed

800 russian burger kings have said get too fuck we still operating. yum brand who ran kfc franchises in Russia sold them off to local business owners

pulling out of the country where you have limited recourse on your copy right is hard to do

 

[Ax^]

come if you can have Tennessee fried chicken two doors down on the same high street as kfc here


good luck to them in Russia

Metaphor.

They usually keep all the booze in the kitchen.

I don't think you are dull.

More nuance needed Artaxerxes , more nuance

Kremlin Fried Chicken - there's one on every corner over there, but international expansion hasn't gone well.

There is a Crimean Fried Chicken chain

 

[DaveCinzano]

There is a Crimean Fried Chicken chain

Exorbitant for what they offer though - well-known for the ridiculous charges

I go where the food is tbh.

I had to look it up, for some reason I thought it was a Bauhaus song.

 

[teuchter]

I believe it is a misinterpretation of the song, to take "always in the kitchen at parties" to mean "dull".

We are truly fortunate that we have someone so much better than us amongst us, who can show us the error of our ways.

The subject of "Always In The Kitchen At Parties" is one that is truly worthy of its own thread rather than derailing this serious one

I agree.

lol .

Another example of Urban75's lack of empathy for ordinary people, in this case those who like to spend parties in the kitchen

If you send in troops then doesn't that risk giving Putin the provocation he craves?

As for an Aussie NWO. Fair dinkum I say

(noone's laughing)

Also....would troops be sent into a war zone that had been hit with nuclear bombs?

I don't think so.

 

[Aladdin]

Vox pox from the streets of Moscow. Some are keener than others to die for the Motherland. One doesn't want to fight for other people's palaces; one is going to hide in his mum's basement; and one just wants to put local politicians up against the wall.

The last chap....poor man..

 

[teuchter]

Yes, seemed mean to include that in the video. No need to.

 

[maomao]

Of course they would. If only to provide humanitarian aid and rescue people. If it was an airburst it wouldn't even be particularly dangerous.
