В чистом остатке от всей истории - в русском языке прижилось слово "дизель" в значении "солярка", "дизельное топливо". Раньше, до 2026 года, оно означало "двигатель, работающий на дизельном топливе"...

Back in 2023, Putin-feelers like this ruined Biden's foreign policy towards Ukraine (which started good, against the advice of Putin-feelers, in 2022). And like zombies, these ideas never die themselves.

Senator @RubenGallego makes a point about the Russian invasion of Ukraine. He doesn't hate Russia, he hates the war of conquest that Putin started, a crime against humanity. It is what Nazi leaders were hanged for in Nuremberg in 1946. I 100% share this attitude.
