Well, if you have a more accurate source, please share.

I remember a number of news outlets in various western countries quoting Putin talking about rebuilding the Russian empire, but I didn't bother to save links because I didn't think people would glibly deny his stated intentions a couple years later.

Go to the official Russian transcript that's published maybe? I love how you keep acting like the only source that exists is out of context quotes in western media.

[-] GreyEyedGhost@lemmy.ca 5 points 7 months ago

Cool, post a link and I'll run it through a translator.

[-] yogthos@lemmy.ml -5 points 7 months ago

You're the one who brought this up, so why don't you go look up the whole quote. It'll be a good experience for you to learn how to actually read information from primary sources. You don't even have to run it through a translator because Russia publishes official transcripts in english.

Cause even then you'll probably just whine and complain their translator isnt accurate enough or something.

They've already provided a lot more info than you just saying 'ackshully' which carries a credibility of 0, even if their sources were shit (not saying they are or aren't)

[-] yogthos@lemmy.ml -1 points 7 months ago

Sure that's what it is

[-] GreyEyedGhost@lemmy.ca -1 points 7 months ago

I made my points and defended them with sources that can be verified or dismissed. You make your points, and lay the onus on others to prove you right or wrong, while dismissing any and all support they may provide. To quote Hitcheson's Razor, "what can be asserted without evidence can be dismissed without evidence." Or to put it in a more modern way, "put up or shut up."

You used so many words to say that you refuse to actually find and read the primary source that your whole argument is premised on. The fact that you don't see a problem with that says everything I need to know.

You made the claim little buddy, so go and find the primary source for your claim.

At this point, you're just a troll and love the taste of Putin's dick, clown.

[-] MeowZedong@lemmygrad.ml 4 points 7 months ago

Fuckin gottem! Good point with that Putin's dick line. I bet he'll totally rethink everything he said now.

You fucking debate pervert loser. Go read a book.

[-] yogthos@lemmy.ml 1 points 7 months ago

I'd be really insulted if I had a shred of respect for your opinion.

[-] InternetUser2012@midwest.social 0 points 7 months ago

Ah yes, troll it is, thank you for the confirmation komrade.
