      Right, I get all that, but I don’t think he was joking about this. I don’t think he or his fellow countrymen are joking about these things. I wouldn’t anyway.

      🤷‍♂️ What do I know though.

        Nah he would definitely joke about it, as would many of his countrymen, although obviously not all.

        Gallows humour is a coping mechanism for difficult situations for a lot of people, while others of course can’t stand it at all.

        Personally, if I happened to be in the actual gallows, I’d be making stupid ass jokes that make everyone else wish they’d die sooner

            If everything he said was true, and it was funny, does that contradict each other?

              I guess everyone is misunderstanding me.

              I’m not saying he was joking as in saying something that wasn’t true. I’m just saying he wasn’t trying to be funny.

              It’s not a joking matter.

                He was joking because if he actually wanted to go to Moscow he could tell his troops to not attack him while he is there. So there being a lot of drones there is irrelevant.

              I think you’ve misunderstood. I’m not saying joking needs to be saying something false.

              I’m saying he wasn’t trying to be funny.

              Yet another comment like this: I’m not saying he wasn’t telling the truth. I just don’t think he was trying to be funny.
