it's such a shame that tomorrow the governor accidentally fell out of a hotel window and shot himself in the back 10 times 😢

[–] pastermil@sh.itjust.works 33 points 1 year ago (1 children)

At this point, he'd be much safer surrendering to Ukraine.

[–] Spacehooks@reddthat.com 6 points 1 year ago

Lol could you imagine Whole area becomes east Ukraine.

You'd think they'd at least offer him tea first.

[–] bappity@lemmy.world 20 points 1 year ago (1 children)

then it would seem that the governor was deathly allergic to tea and tragically passed from the allergic reaction 😭

[–] mercano@lemmy.world 16 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Polonium allergies are more common than you think.

[–] Burn_The_Right@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

I hear their tea is less potent now that they get their pollonium from Wish.com.

Or a tasty mushroom

OSHA really need to step up there game in there. Or whatever is the equivalent. All those unsafe hotel windows.

Literally or figuratively?

[–] suction@lemmy.world 21 points 1 year ago

Of course figuratively. He wishes the governor well and in fact has invited him on a nice trip to Moscow where he’ll be staying in the best hotel, top floor suite!

just chopped his whole body off

[–] SidewaysHighways@lemmy.world 8 points 1 year ago

Only his dick was left

Giving Putin bad news or admitting to bad developments in Russia has become such an occupational hazard, that you would think that the people would just not, and then leave the country

[–] idiomaddict@lemmy.world 7 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I don’t think a lot of countries would welcome Russians who only left high ranking military positions out of cowardice.

Tja

Sorry, I couldn’t help it

[–] OutlierBlue@lemmy.ca 31 points 1 year ago

What a great way to show he's not a fascist and that it's really the Ukrainians who are Nazis.

What does that even mean?

Is this like, ceding the territory then?

[–] Windex007@lemmy.world 39 points 1 year ago (2 children)

Paywalled, but I suspect it's in relation to a video where the governor started talking about the depth and breadth of the incursion.

Putin cuts him of and says that the military rep on the call will give that update, and that his expectation from the governor is to update on the social aspect of the situation... Something like that.

[–] shalafi@lemmy.world 21 points 1 year ago

Sometimes a manager has to get a subordinate back on track when their get past their area. Had myself dialed back a time or three. Or ten.

If he had kept on about it, yeah, dial him back. But the governor said so little it was a pretty blatant call out. If Putin had let one sentence ride, voila, no Streisand effect and we wouldn't be talking about it.

The chances of accidentally falling on a Makarov bullet are never 0

i will say, i was not expecting Ukrainian advances into Russia, but i will say, i am rather pleased thus far.
