I’m sure this will improve the next attempt and will not cause brain drain at all
I never use the term “shithole country”. First because, I don’t know, it’s often used to address poor African countries, and those in particular are fucked because of direct consequences of Western policies and colonialism.
Second, because it was used by fucking Trump and I’d rather not.
But Russia really is a shithole country, Jesus. A grim, evil, arrogant, fucked up, good for nothing shithole country.
I like coopting the phrase to shithole states – the ones dumb enough to vote for him.
i mean if the shoe fits: the original implication was countries who receive foreign aid, and considering the skew of federal money towards red states……
Not to mention all the young people who would be better in research and engineering than to getting thrown away on an impossible front.
There are many smart and promising people in Russia, like in any other country, and it’s sad that the government decided the best use of them is to be dead.
Yeah, this reminds me of this scene from the dictator

That shithole will never change.
Given that it’s The Sun, a trashy, sensationalist tabloid, reporting this, I’d take it with a grain of salt until a credible source also reports it.
unverified by me, but @Deestan said:
The implied connection to the failed landing is dishonest. He was admitted to the hospital over a week before the lander crashed.
The article itself says he was poisoned more than 2 weeks ago, the crash was less than 2 weeks ago.
i’m not sure if that makes it worse (because the headline is now knowingly misleading) or better (because at least they provided the correct information)
thanks for the info regardless! i didn’t read it because there’s no way im clicking through to murdoch BS
The Metro is a part of the Daily Mail.

Metro is the Daily Mail, not the Sun. Although both are owned by Murdoch.

I hate that using “X happened after Y” to sensationalise an article by implying that one caused the other has become the norm now.
If this is real: busy week for Putin, first Prigozjin, then some scientist
Well, christmas is getting closer.
Don’t the Russians celebrate Christmas on a different date? Nonetheless, once Christmas has been celebrated, it csn be considered as getting closer
He was poisoned more than 2 weeks ago, Luna 25 crashed 13 days ago.
