So, the leader of a nation being attacked by another country that was once considered to be one of the most fearsome on the planet is addressing leaders of a country that could provide desperately needed support and your complaint is... Wait for it... You're not going to believe just how fucking stupid it is... Seriously... And in case he deletes it, here's the screengrab Because it doesn't matter how many people might be dying around you, if you don't have a suit on when you ask for help, you're a fucking piece of shit that deserves nothing, amirite?
Reminds me of the antebellum south. The sum total of morality there was wearing pretty clothes. You could commit all the atrocities you deemed fit, but your little general costume had better be clean and pretty.
Well, see, looting houses and killing civilians is all part of the fortunes of war. But showing up somewhere in the wrong clothes, that’s a faux pas.
I feel inclined to trust a person less in a suit in his situation. And maybe in all situations-like talk show hosts.
Just saw this after posting it in the Russian invasion thread. This doesn't need its own thread. I suggest merging it where it belongs.
It was interesting to see a national leader in a t-shirt. But it seems appropriate given the situation.
