As far as polls go, this is pretty crazy. The left-wing parties have 2/3 of the vote - more than three times what the Conservatives have.
However, this proves that this is all about economics. England is in an economic free-fall thanks to the incompetent Truss (according to some people because women are trying to crash the economy).
So Truss doesn't know Russian geography. Who cares? I only know Rostov and Voronezh because I play WW2 games.
The question is nonsensical except if asked as a gotcha. The sensible question would have been to ask about the two Donbass Oblasts, which is what she assumed he was referring to.
edit: I WILL NEVER RECOGNIZE ROSTOV AND VORONEZH AS RUSSIAN kek
Listen buddy, her job was to have a vagina while conservative and shuffle from 1 short term political appointment to the next, not to know geography. She was foreign secretary for less than a year, and had multiple different posts before that. She basically didn't give a shit for her stepping stone job and just parroted the talking points she was given.
Sergey Lavrov has been Foreign Minister since 2004, and was Russia's UN Ambassador since 1994. He's been working as a diplomat since 1972.
Do you have any idea how hard it is to find conservative women who are competent? You can't. They don't exist. We tried it here in America and the best we could do was Sarah Palin, who is seen as somewhat of a joke now.
Everyone on the Right has to pretend that women are competent to get them to vote for us, because the Left constantly YASS QWEENs them.
Can't find any liberal women who are competent either tbh
^^. Exactly my point.
I guess it’s just showing that the foreign secretary was wildly ignorant about something she was actively making speeches on…
I don’t think it’s really that out of line to expect a slightly higher geographical knowledge from someone in that position, vis à vis you or I…
It just shows Lavrov knew she was an idiot, and used the “gotcha” there to good effect…
If you don't know where some place is, then maybe you should shut up about it.
I don't go around saying that El Paso is Mexican territory, as you stole it fair and square.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Treaty_of_Guadalupe_Hidalgo We actually paid Mexico for all the land we conquered. Twice.
And lol El Paso is more Mexican than some places in Mexico. Demographic profile Hispanic or Latino 82.8%
Not sure what your argument is. That stealing your neighbors' land is OK if you pretend to pay them like the USSR pretended to pay its employees?
Rather funny that you do not recognize the ironic echoes with the Ukraine nonsense.
It wasn't pretend. We actually gave them the money. Got a receipt and everything.
Crimea is slightly majority Russian, 58% but every other oblast is well under half, including in the Donbass. Most of Ukraine it's under 10%. Kherson is only 14% and yet Russia is occupying it.
I agree. It was a gotcha. Unless she wants to see them returned to the Greeks.
