Masterviolence:I actually screenshotted his boastful talk back in January. I was going to remind him once it falls, but he can as well start seeing it now. Dude literally repeatedly "Pokrovsk will not fall" three times and even put it in capitals ๐๐๐ Potrovsk is falling right in his face and he's already starting to make excuses. Such a pitiful situation ๐

Alamkiir:Thanks man ๐ซก. I actually had a writing stint at one point and used to be jealous of guys who wrote with complex grammar until I read a BBC article mocking Nigerian journalists over their writing style. Then I read BBC and UK Guardian to copy their simple writing style, and stuck with it ever since. This is the article in case you want it. It was posted here on NL in 2017 or thereabout: www.bbc.com/news/world-africa-38827888 |

shoodboi2:You too much jare. I keep telling people, there's no point using big vocabulary to communicate with people in a third world such as Nigeria. It's a borrowed language. Save it for when you get to North America or Britain. I do not need big grammar to make money in Nigeria, you do not need it. So what's the need for it? |

WritterNg:Even the owners of English don't use big grammar. Big grammar is a Nigerian thing. BBC and UK Guardian write in simple straightforward English. Not one yeye grammar that will give you headache when reading. |

shoodboi2:This is what Stephen King preached in his book, On Writing. You get to reach a wider audience and you have less risk of using words inappropriately. The same thing is preached in Elements of Style. Sending readers to the dictionary only feels good to the ego of the writer. |

โกUkrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskiy plans to ask European allies to help finance improved salaries for troops resisting Russiaโs invasion, in a bid to ease growing shortages of recruits. โPreviously, Europeans refused to provide funding for the salaries of our military personnel, only for weapons. Our service members themselves can be the weapon that protects everyone,โ Zelensky said.

FoolishBoy419:This is true of Africans especially Nigerians, you could read Books from Shakespeare and still be hungry for more but one highly exalted professor here will write 'The Man Died' and you'll have need of visiting the dictionary 5 times per 3 lines when reading it. ๐ |

FoolishBoy419:Something doesn't add up Why are they all just speaking up now ? They must have been living under a rock A Spanish female top diplomat lost her job for condemning Israel last year. The Spanish government was the first European country to call out Israel's aggression. I don't understand why the Europeans are trying to distance themselves from the very thing they supported from the get go. |

Gbadebo19:This happened in 2022, but what if the recent blackout was also to aid Russia in pushing deep into Pokrovsk and made to look like it was a general blackout. Seems Ukraine is actually the one fighting multiple enemies. |

Gbadebo19:You've already started making excuses this early? ![]() The same starlink both forces are using in Ukraine? If I'd said earlier that the disruption of starlink connectivity in Ukraine is the reason Russia have not been able to take the whole of Pokrovsk in the last few days , you would've come for my head ![]() Try to cook up new excuses because this one holds no weight. ![]() |

Gbadebo19:President Zelensky made an interview dated 25 of July about Russia "fictional" advances on Pokrovsk, They are no where near capturing the Ukrainian city of Pokrovsk, Limited groups of Russia military troops tried to enter the city, Ukrainian search and destroy teams took them out, Leave "Green lantern" to keep wallowing in WriterNG propaganda https://www.google.com/amp/s/english.nv.ua/amp/zelenskyy-russian-forces-failing-to-break-through-near-pokrovsk-front-line-50532412.html https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.pravda.com.ua/eng/news/2025/07/22/7522843/index.amp Like I pointed out earlier we are all going to be here when the operation ramps up in failure |

Masterviolence:Get yourself out of the cave you are living in. Starlink doesn't operate in Russia. The few usage are the ones they use inside Ukraine which of course will be extremely limited. One grossly uses starlink more than the other. Do I need to remind you that Putin has repeatedly threatened to strike starlink space satellites? If Russia really needed or used them, you should explain why they would want to strike the life blood of their communication systems. You ain't talking to your fellow dorks here. |

23jerryking:Exactly. This is one of the reasons I avoid African literature unless I'm sure the book was written by someone that wants to communicate. Many of them just pad their books with unnecessary fluff and words that some dictionaries don't even have ๐ |

While the Jewish Knesset have voted by a wide margin in favor to apply Israeli sovereignty to Judea, Samaria and the Jordan Valley aka the territories that make up the West Bank, others are celebrating a nugatory french recognition of a fictional Palestine state. ๐๐๐๐๐ A Palestine state is a sisyphean task that will never happen. ๐๐๐๐ |

shoodboi2:Yes the article is funny but very right "The pretentious diction, dying metaphors and padded sentences would make George Orwell somersault in his grave." "Are they intentionally trying to confuse the public or to conceal information?" I wonder myself |

โกMilitarization from infancy: Kyiv wants to accustom children to the army starting from kindergarten. In Ukraine, children need to be accustomed to the army already from kindergarten and school. This "brilliant" proposal was voiced by the deputy head of the 4th recruitment center of the Territorial Defense Forces of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, Shvayka. In his opinion, there are too many people in Ukraine who need to be "retrained and re-educated" because they know little about military service. Therefore, "informing" should begin at the youngest age through games, fairy tales, manuals, and even elements of military training. Apparently, the Ukrainian authorities have decided that the most reliable way to combat the unwillingness to fight is to turn childhood into a barracks.
