So uncomfortable, but I did notice which finger is pushing the button. That isn't "lost in translation".
Dude doesn't know what he's talking about either: http://www.freedict.com/onldict/onldict.php Nice to see them getting along so well, considering the near cold-war level our relationship with Russia had eroded to under the Bush/Cheney regime.
Are you saying that a Russian, from Russia, and who speaks Russian doesn't know the Russian word for reset?
No, I am saying he is wrong when he says "peregruzka" means "overloaded" or "overcharged" in English.
Going by BableFish and FreeDict (granted, automated translators are less then accurate) перегрузка does look to mean overload, so the guy isn't exactly wrong.
Putin/Bush had a fairly decent relationship. The laughing you see by the Russian PM is the realization that he has pushovers in the US to deal with since the election. "Haha, the idiot thinks this stupid stunt means "reset". Haha. She didn't even bring up Georgia." Embarassing.
It happened in the lame duck late summer with the Democrats controlling both halves of Congress. I can't wait to see their next move, since our defense seems to be a cheesy (and incorrect) modification of the Staples' Easy Button. Hillary - Gimmicks "R" U.S.?
Sadly for your argument, the branch of government that controls foreign policy is not the legislative, but the executive. But hey, nice try. barfo
Only Congress can authorize military action. I'm not sure what that has to do with Hillary's State Department, however, or Condi's in the late summer of '08. Anyhow, this is a pretty funny gaffe, huh? Oops!!! I'd have thought this turd of a performance would be funny to someone like you.
While we're at it, barfo, what is Obama's official statement regarding the areas of Georgia that Russia still occupies?
Who is talking about authorizing military action? Did you think we should have invaded Georgia? If so, you should blame Bush, since he didn't make any attempt to do so. If not, why are you bringing it up? Not really. If the button had said "Russians suck" or "Eat my shorts" or "Kiss me, I'm Polish", it might have been funny. "Overcharged" is not particularly funny. barfo
