America has Russian speaking interpreters....wtf was he using a Kremlin one for?
The administration finds itself reeling after firing all of our translators due to “foreign language being woke globalist DEI marxism, speak english”
I genuinely can't tell if this is satire or fact
I cant either and I wrote it. Its both satirical and also a highly plausible explanation. Although we all know the one set of translators they wouldnt fire are the Russian ones
That is the price we had to pay for this new meritocracy of highly competent and experienced administrators
During his first term, a US interpreter was seriously concerned about the conversation.
Now he trusts Russian interpreters more than his own.
That way it'll be easier to convey Putin's instructions.
Because he works for the blyats. It’s as clear as the day is long.
Maybe doge fired the last one.
They’re saving us all a tremendous amount of money!!!
FTFY
Trump ~~envoy~~ relied on Kremlin ~~interpreter in meetings with Putin to end war in Ukraine~~
He’s so helplessly dumb.
Ya im sure the interpreter made sure everything was communicated in a way that didn't put Russian interests first
Almost as if he’s incredibly incompetent.
It’s only a bad idea if you want what’s best for the world excluding the blyats.
the irony is that the better world will be better for the blyats and the american blyats. they just can't see it because they're so deeply steeped in the propaganda and information war. and they think they're the ones who really know what's going on but are stuck in their mindset
Just one more thing to blame when the "deal" ends up being as bad as they want it to be. Ignoring that it would also be their fault if a "mistranslation" led to the deal being bad. They only have to trick idiots into continuing to be strung along...
At this point, all I can do is shake my head and laugh. I’d be concerned if these were supposed to be good faith negotiations, but they’re not, so what the fuck ever.
They might as well be using sock puppets. Only idiots take these people seriously.
Classic case of "I have never done this before and don't want to ask questions for fear of looking stupid."
