BRUSSELS—Implicating the Russian leader directly for his role in Alexei Navalny’s passing, world leaders issued a joint statement Friday pledging that President Vladimir Putin would go unpunished. “Mark our words, the European Union will spare no effort in ensuring that Putin experiences absolutely no …

“Mark our words, the European Union will spare no effort in ensuring that Putin experiences absolutely no repercussions for the outrageous death of a key opposition leader,” said European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen.

This part, even though from the same article, is true…

At press time, the U.S. House of Representatives had reacted in solidarity to the statement with an arms bill guaranteeing $0 of aid to the Ukrainian military.

Sorry for mixing real NON-ONION news in here — I know you’re all easily confused to begin with — but…

From the Michigan Advance article: Death of Russian dissident raises stakes for U.S. aid to Ukraine, Biden warns…

[…]the U.S. House adjourned Thursday for a President’s Day recess without acting on aid.[…] House members are scheduled to return Feb. 28.

“It’s about time they step up, don’t you think? Instead of going on a two-week vacation?” Biden told reporters. “Two weeks. What are they thinking? My God, this is bizarre. And it’s just reinforcing all the concern, and almost — I won’t say panic, but real concern about the United States being a reliable ally. This is outrageous.”

    I wasn’t asking about my reply, but which part of my initial comment made you think the words you tried to put in my mouth would fit there?

        Did you expect to crack wise at my expense without me telling you off?

        I’d love for you to elaborate on my alleged hypocrisy.

            What words would those be?

            All I think you’re guilty of, is making a comment assuming ignorance on something I do know, and then another assuming I hold a stance I clearly don’t.

            Am I wrong?

              I don’t know how much clearer I can be with you. The words you put in my mouth were that I was putting words in your mouth. Follow?

              I wasn’t doing that. Which therefore means you put words in my mouth and that would make you a hipocrit.

              You also edited your comment while I was responding which went from

              (Loosely worded not a direct quote ;)

              “yeah because those civilizations havent been around since the dawn of civilization”

              To including content after that sentence which I had originally read as sarcasm. Are we caught up now

                Yes. I did not realize your interpretation did a 180.

                I was still questioning how that first interpretation arose in the first place, considering the context of my first comment. I thought it more illustrative of what kind of ideas I have, and that it would have excluded such a conclusion on your part.

                I didn’t like you shifting my words away from what I actually wanted said with a jovial comment that undermines my credibility without even forwarding any relevant points like the guy mentioning NK.
