Russia’s version of what happened this week is very funny. Points for comedy & creativity. “As a result of the negotiations held between B. Assad and a number of participants in the armed conflict … he decided to leave the post” www.washingtonpost.com/world/2024/1... - ThreadSky | a Reddit-style client for Bluesky

Lol "negotiations" a load bearing column in that sentence

All right, we'll call it a draw...

So you can negotiate with dictators. Be nice if Russians started negotiating with Putin en masse.

bjornsoland.bsky.social•102 days ago

What if the Russians negotiated Putin to North Korea. Assad in Moscow is a live evidence of that this type of diplomacy works.

His family had a 50 year post? Who knew?

Not only the “our forces are retrenching just outside the city they just abandoned” Assad regime, no, Russia as well can mimic Baghdad Bob

Like that time when my jack-high hand ran into a straight flush and I "decided to leave the pot" of my own accord.

Hey @darthputinkgb.bsky.social you can’t leave this standing as is🙃

And has not been seen since.

Did Putin order a Prigozhin special for the Butcher of Damascus?

samokorosec.bsky.social•102 days ago

Technically correct if we allow armed conflict to be called a “negotiation”. 👍

turnicsor.bsky.social•102 days ago

They forgot to mention the tanks that carried the negotiators.

beccaneer.bsky.social•102 days ago

Well, negotiations were kinda aggressive but swift

After being thrown out of the bar, you and your friends decide to leave.

michaleenoge.bsky.social•102 days ago

Wow, it's almost like the Russians are liars.

aliontamer.bsky.social•102 days ago

Almost as blackly comedic is their call for all sides to refrain from violence.

amsiramy.bsky.social•102 days ago

🤣🤣🤣

It seem like a pre-prepared declaration for the occasion of Putin demise.

jaj3.bsky.social•102 days ago

The Russian version reminds one of Baghdad Bob, or corporate democrats telling us that Biden’s aging was just fine.

phill.hallambaker.com•102 days ago

At least Biden isn't senile. Which Trump obviously is.

Get big Sam Allerdyce in as interim president until they can have elections.
