Two of his advisors said that and then his spokesman said only statements made by Trump himself or authorised members of his campaign should be considered official

See this clearly isn’t the actual meaning because this definition only applies to fiction. See, for example, Conservative party former Home Secretary of the UK Suella Braverman describing protestors opposing her anti-protest bill as the “tofu-eating wokerati”
Beautiful! Playing mandolin is a weird experience for me as a guitar player. Like… I know how this all works, it looms familiar, but it’s upside down and everything is very close together. It’s a lovely sound though.
It feels kinda like how comic books bold words for emphasis, and just about as randomly applied
I don’t know where you’re from so you might be familiar with this anyway, but this is actually really popular at football matches in the UK. It’s made with bovril rather than a stock cube, but the idea is the same
Echoes of the Eye does at least give you a sort of second playthrough
I think Tunic is probably the closest feeling to Outer Wilds I’ve gotten so far. The moment-to-moment gameplay is quite different, but the broad scale feels close
yes, if I could do maths
strings are in base two, got it
We thought we were the ones domesticating grass when we invented agriculture, but the grass isn’t the one that changed how it lives
Depends on what’s on offer in the steam sale! Although I did pick up the Myst remaster, so I might just be having a crack at that
For only 7.99 you can get enough store points to open three Crates of Eden, each of which has a chance to give you four seconds of total invisibility or two silent takedowns!
Deadnaming is okay when you’re doing it to mercenary companies
It’s actually in England, although funnily enough the part of England it’s in is called Cumbria, which has the same origin as the Welsh for Wales “Cymru”. So it’s sort of in Wales, just not the Wales that we call Wales in English.
Anyway it’s Old English torr, Middle Welsh penn, and Danish hoh. And like many British place names the pronunciation is not what you would expect at all at first glance. It’s “tra-pen-uh”
That is a very strange article. The headline is “How Boris Johnson Sabotaged Ukraine Russia Peace Deal In April” and the bulk of it is about how a former US National Security Council officer didn’t say that.
Frankly the NYT one seems a lot more convincing to me. That addition to the security guarantee clause is obviously completely unworkable.
Maybe find an article that says that then. The one you linked says that yes, they were close to an agreement, but at the last minute Russia inserted a clause that was a dealbreaker
What that link actually says:
To the Ukrainians’ dismay, there was a crucial departure from what Ukrainian negotiators said was discussed in Istanbul. Russia inserted a clause saying that all guarantor states, including Russia, had to approve the response if Ukraine were attacked. In effect, Moscow could invade Ukraine again and then veto any military intervention on Ukraine’s behalf — a seemingly absurd condition that Kyiv quickly identified as a dealbreaker. Russia tried to secure a veto on Ukraine’s security guarantees by inserting a clause requiring unanimous consent.
With that change, a member of the Ukrainian negotiating team said, “we had no interest in continuing the talks.”
No, but obviously all you know how to do is to make ridiculous straw man arguments.
If ethnic cleansing didn’t happen before the war started, ethnic cleansing did not cause the war.
Nobody made the argument that simply using cluster munitions equals ethnic cleansing on its own.
Saying “they’re doing ethnic cleansing” and backing it up with a link that’s just “they’re using cluster munitions” is literally exactly this
It is predominantly ethnically Russian, and those are the people who are being targeted.
The point I was making was that the only person who described themselves in terms of identity in that link called himself Ukrainian. This makes it very poor evidence for Ukraine targeting ethnic Russians.
Bad faith is arguing about something you have no understanding of and wasting everyone’s time. See this is what a bad faith argument looks like.
What exactly do you think I’m trying to convince you of that I haven’t been open and honest about? I said exactly why I do not think that that source is worth my time based on the five other sources you put it with and how you used them.
Clearly you didn’t watch the lecture if you need to ask that question as it clearly explains the demographics in Ukraine
I know what the demographics are. I have watched Mearsheimer’s lecture, but it really is not necessary to get an overview of something as basic as where different ethnicities are concentrated in Ukraine. The fact that there are a bunch of ethnic Russians living in that part is not evidence of ethnic cleansing by Ukraine. Neither is Russia feeling threatened by eastern European countries joining the EU or NATO.
the ethnic cleansing that western backed fascists started doing after the coup in 2014.
So your position is that the ethnic cleansing happened in the ~two months between Yanukovych fleeing Ukraine in February and the declarations of the DPR and LPR in April?
Under this interpretation, the headline could then read “New Polling Shows Significant Ukrainian Support for War to End the War”
Millennial. I do unabashedly love avocado toast and lattes and also can’t afford a house, so I’m hitting the stereotypes
