Yo Ho Ho

Thank you! Let's hope for the best, but the future does not look good. Here is what I really think:

Epigraph: "Отдалась лихому супостату" (Voloshin)

Что ж ты, моя Родина несчастная,
Обернулась Бабою-Ягой -
Не Людмилой, пленницей прекрасною,
А Наиной с ядерной клюкой?

Буками и Градами хрипящая,
В пепле отвратительных побед,
Ты - не мать, не девица гулящая,
А с зубами баба-людоед.

Ты сожрала бедную Абхазию,
Крымский полуостров и Донбасс.
Ты глотала целую Евразию,
Исполняя сталинский наказ.

Ты не помнишь собственной Истории,
Жжет шовинистический угар.
Ты сжигаешь жизни в крематории,
Где шурует Путлер-кочегар.

Ты взвинтила ложью до истерики
Своего Ивана-дурака,
И уже на выборы в Америке
Тянется костлявая рука…

9/29/2016

На зловещих часах
Приближается полночь -
Целый мир на весах
Призывает на помощь.

Торжествуют Игил
И Осама Бен Ладен:
Восстает из могил
Президент Ку-клукс-кладен.

Все подвластно eму.
Он страну обезглавил.
В белоснежном дому
Будет жить Желтый Дьявол[1].

Будут в небе кружить
Смертоносные птицы,
Будут бомбы крушить
Города и больницы,

Будут Штаты "Совком" -
Как спланировал Путин:
Вашингтонский обком
И Нью-Йоркский Распутин.

They represent my own vision of the future, also. The second poem, in particular, sent chills through me. Joy to the world. --Iryna Harpy (talk) 21:42, 25 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Tells

Hey MVBW, just wanted to drop a quick note about the verb "to tell." In this edit [1] you write, "...Both segments tell that political establishment..." I know exactly what you're communicating. But, I think instead of "tell" you want to use one of these verbs:

  • demonstrate
  • show
  • indicate
  • establish

Really, "tell" is used infrequently, and in very specific contexts: when one person is communicating a specific piece of information directly to one or a number of others.

I thought I'd just mention all this because your use of the verb "to tell" is the only indicator, besides your userbox, that you're not a native English speaker. Hope you don't mind my writing this here! Not meant as a jibe at all. Best, Darouet (talk) 22:23, 6 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Pardon my French, M. Darouet, but your remark is bullpuckey. My opinion. SPECIFICO talk 00:35, 7 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Thank you both! My very best wishes (talk) 03:05, 7 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Sure. We edit on similar pages so I just see it often... If you take offense My very best wishes let me know: absolutely none was or is intended at all. -Darouet (talk) 04:43, 7 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]
No offense. And you are right. I need my native language to express my feelings. For example, talking about the contentious subject (your diff above), how do I really feel about it? Well, first thing that came to my mind a few moths ago was a kind of Chastushka. Chastushka is usually obscene and performed by women. However, that one was performed in my mind by a man who was not Russian and therefore frequently used English words and distorted some Russian words:

Дорогой товарищ Жутин,
Приходи ко мне на party!
Будем вместе, Лиллипутин,
Мы Америку ебати.

Мы ошейник ей наденем
И возьмем тяжелый хлыст,
A бабло ее поделим,
Hacker-fucker-содомист!

Мы возьмем ее за pussy
И на лбу поставим штамп,
Чтобы знали все на Русси:
Это наша миссис “Срамп!”

This is obviously a joke, but there is real feeling behind it. Last word is derivative of Russian "срам" ("dirty shame"). This whole story is shame for US. Actually, many people felt the same about former Soviet Union. There was a wonderful poem by Alexander Galich (writer) about it:

Идут мимо нас поколенья,
Проходят и машут рукой.
Презренье, презренье, презренье,
Дано нам, как новое зренье
И пропуск в грядущий покой!

After these elections I started feeling the same about USA. My very best wishes (talk) 18:30, 7 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]
@My very best wishes: it's funny, the talk page has so much on it, it's difficult to keep up (I feel like every section needs comments). Re: your RfC, I am not particularly interested in either section: I feel like the Pelosi gambit won't go anywhere, and even if I strongly dislike Trump, I think that removing him on the basis of his attitude towards Russia would weaken, rather than strengthen American democracy. In part, because it would use the electors - originally a potential check on the popular will - against the outcome of the election (even though Trump didn't win the popular vote). And that would obliterate public confidence in elections for half the population. All that said, I have no objection to the inclusion of the material - I generally tend to be an inclusionist anyway.
As to McMullin, I don't think it's as noteworthy, though I wouldn't oppose one sentence on his comments.
I was only able to read the text you sent by google translate. The first is dark, grotesque, alarming. It's hard for me to catch the sense of it via online translation... though I think I get the gist? As to the second... I wish we had achieved that peace! Alas, we seem very far from that possibility. -Darouet (talk) 22:09, 7 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]


Story on government allegation of rebel executions

AFP, Deutsche Welle (reliable sources) and a dozen other mainstream media outlets (not connected to the government) that I linked at the battle's talk page reported on the AFP's story of the government's allegation of finding 21 civilians executed by the rebels. The text I propose, cited to these sources, would go like this - State media claimed the Army had found the bodies of 21 executed civilians in rebel prisons, citing the head of Aleppo's forensic unit Zaher Hajjo. The Russian defence ministry also reported the execution of dozens of people by the rebels. The pro-opposition activist group the SOHR confirmed bodies had been found in the streets but could not specify how they were killed.[2][3][4] EkoGraf (talk) 15:54, 7 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]

I would say this falls under the WP:SECONDARY since we would be using reliable secondary sources who are talking about that specific story. And we wouldn't be using the primary source (which is the state media). EkoGraf (talk) 15:58, 7 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]
I am not sure why you post here. Old version of the paragraph was poorly written and poorly sourced, hence it was correct removal [5]. If it can be written and sourced better, this is fine. Please suggest new version and discuss it with others on article talk page. Thank you, My very best wishes (talk) 16:00, 7 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Didn't get a reply at the article's talk page so I thought I come directly here. As for the new version, I did propose it a few days ago at the article's talk page (with new sources). Check it out. It was approved by some editors, but again rejected by Marek.

OK, I will check these sources if I have more time. Too busy with my work right now. My very best wishes (talk) 00:15, 8 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Thank you. I also cited (beside AFP and Deutsche Welle) Middle East Eye as well. Maybe you could also make a proposition on the wording of the text if you think there is still room for changes.
