"Their refusal to do so is now coming back to haunt the world order."
I would think, the US going against the International Court of Justice, threatening allies over land and making deals with a official emperor is doing worse.
- philipov 2y agoI hadn't heard about anyone becoming officially an emperor recently. Who are you referring to?
- lukan 2y agoPutin obviously. And no, "formally" he is surely a elected president. Just one who talks about and compares himself to the great emperors of russian past a lot and acts pretty much the same.
- philipov 2y agoOkay, so when you said official, you meant unofficial. Got it. I'm with you completely on the rest of it.
- lukan 2y agoNo, I meant de facto official. Putin is de facto a emperor, just not de jure. (but not need to further do pedantic semantics ..)
- justinclift 2y agoThat's now how "official" works. ;)
- emmelaich 2y agoKeep up with times man. "de facto" now connotes "de jure" just as "literally" connotes metaphorically.
- justinclift 2y agoGood luck with that. ;)
