@Cleisthenes everything dangerous in the human condition is summed up in my emotional response to this image
@thendrix C'est la vie, we'll never rid ourselves of human nature, although history shows there are ways to accentuate it's positive aspects
@thendrix Ukrainian neutrality was clearly the asking price, it's just beyond me why it wasn't given earlier.
Events have their own momentum now.
@thendrix where did you see this "offer on the table"?
@thendrix that's my question
@thendrix never got the impression Biden admin tried to compromise at all
do you have a source for this offer on the table?
@vriska natural born leader aint i
@rysiek@mastodon.technology Zaporozhian Cossacks to the Turkish Sultan!
O sultan, Turkish devil and damned devil's kith and kin, secretary to Lucifer himself. What the devil kind of knight are thou, that canst not slay a hedgehog with your naked arse? The devil shits, and your army eats. Thou shalt not, thou son of a whore, make subjects of Christian sons. We have no fear of your army; by land and by sea we will battle with thee. Fuck thy mother.
Thou Babylonian scullion, Macedonian wheelwright, brewer of Jerusalem, goat-fucker of Alexandria, swineherd of Greater and Lesser Egypt, pig of Armenia, Podolian thief, catamite of Tartary, hangman of Kamyanets, and fool of all the world and underworld, an idiot before God, grandson of the Serpent, and the crick in our dick. Pig's snout, mare's arse, slaughterhouse cur, unchristened brow. Screw thine own mother!
So the Zaporozhians declare, you lowlife. You won't even be herding pigs for the Christians. Now we'll conclude, for we don't know the date and don't own a calendar; the moon's in the sky, the year with the Lord. The day's the same over here as it is over there; for this kiss our arse!
