Ever since Ukraine, my partner scoffs whenever I say “nothing major is going to happen.” I can’t say they’re wrong
I had a large discussion with some colleagues about there not "being anything going on in Ukraine" because they had finally, after weeks/months of scaremongering, picked up on the news that "something was going to happen in Ukraine".
This argument took place on february the 24th. I had not heard the news because I had finally tuned out, because nothing was going to happen lol. I literally said "I'll call it a war when there's tanks rolling into Ukraine!" Not knowing that at that moment, tanks were rolling into Ukraine.
OOF lmao
I don't blame you. That was a lot of us. US dem-party-leaning media screeched about Russiagate for 6 years, wearing everyone's patience thin on anti-Russian scaremongering and creating a "boy who cried wolf" effect. All the libs I know were very smug that day.
How they doin these days?
Bidening their time
i remember the night before i had a drunken discussion with friends at uni and said i thought nothing was going to happen and the next day tanks went in
Happens to the best of us, literally. Lenin said revolution wasn't going to happen in his lifetime.
lmao Lenin as a nothing-ever-happens guy is really funny to me
Nothing to Be Done by V. I. Lenin
What an idiot! Hate to be that guy
