“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......”
“THERE, does that make you happy now?”
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.
But we do know that he is fluent in English, to the point that he either didn't understand RUSSIAN OR UKRAINIAN or he forgot how to speak the language......LOL!
None of that proves he’s some sort of intelligence official.
I never said it did.........
None of that even proves he doesn’t speak Russian or Ukrainian, since he might have simply want to be dismissive altogether.
Yea, right......How do you know that the RUSSIAN OR UKRANIAN speaking reporter wasn't merely saying "your fly is open and your pecker is hanging out"........
And using your logic, if the fatigue dressed gentleman truly wanted to be dismissive, as you say, then there is no reason he wouldn't have responded in the language being spoken to him so that he would have gotten his message across...It's pretty obvious to even the most stupid around here that he doesn't speak either RUSSIAN OR UKRAINIAN..........
CIA? Don't know
American? Don't know
Canadian? Don't know
Russian speaking? NOPE!
Ukranian speaking? NOPE!
So the ball is in your court Vladimir, tell us why a RUSSIAN OR UKRANIAN speaking soldier or EXPAT would respond to a reporter speaking RUSSIAN OR UKRANIAN in PERFECT ENGLISH?
