You'll have to excuse my obvious ignorance since I'm not multilingual as you obviously are. So please forgive me........
I expected that question to be asked by the nitpickers such as you and so I will modify my statement to include not only Russian but Ukrainian..........
So here we go:
“Not likely since the question was asked in either Russian OR Ukrainian then he would have responded in either Russian OR Ukrainian, not English......”
THERE, does that make you happy now?
“You’ll have to excuse my obvious ignorance since I’m not multilingual as you obviously are. So please forgive me........”
You’re forgiven and it has nothing to do with how multilingual I am (I studied at least 8 languages other than English and claim fluency in none of them).
“I expected that question to be asked by the nitpickers such as you and so I will modify my statement to include not only Russian but Ukrainian..........”
Nitpickers? You think different languages is about nitpicking?
“So here we go: “Not likely since the question was asked in either Russian OR Ukrainian then he would have responded in either Russian OR Ukrainian, not English......”

No. Again, none of that proves he’s an American. None of that proves he’s some sort of intelligence official. None of that even proves he doesn’t speak Russian or Ukrainian, since he might have simply want to be dismissive altogether.
