What's in a word? (1 out of 5)
Is there such a thing as "defiant" if a president of a sovereign state defends his country? No? Wait a minute, won't you read the enclosed BBC article, you may have to change your answer.
What’s in a word?
Some words make sense, others don’t. During the ongoing campaign of putting all sorts of pressure on Serbia most common (and most usual) sources of various intentionally degrading views keep showing up more often and in more places.
Naturally the sources are found between the traditional worrywarts of Europe, United Kinghood (also known as englund), Germania, Lowlands (Holandia), Austro-Visigoth Empire, The Hun tribes, The Ottomans and similar. All this in order to further the improvement of European Union while the Slavic peoples are kept in their deserving (and pre-appointed) position of servants, stable-boys, nurses, taxi drivers and similar.
Let’s suppose you don’t want any vermin in your house and you set all sorts of mouse traps, poisoned bait, you even get a cat. The following day the union of cats publishes an article that you are practicing anti-vermin policies, you’re defiant, not vermin friendly, etc.
Therefore you just became defiant. Let’s see what’s in store for the very word defiant (Merriam-Webster: Function: adjective
Etymology: Middle French, from Old French, present participle of defier to defy
: full of or showing defiance : BOLD, IMPUDENT <defiant rebels> <a defiant refusal>
Now, according to the above defending your own home from rodents would be “defiant” (bold, impudent). How, in the name of Jesus Harold Christ can anybody slap the “defiant” label to the issue of internal politics within any sovereign state? But in politics there is no such thing as moral/immoral, true/untrue. Anything that is suitable and at least somewhat printable will find a way as long as the Anglo-German interests are in favor of it.
If we look only 60 years ago there was a well known German politician who even looked outside the borders of his own country and nobody called him “defiant” (bold, impudent). He was of the same nationality as the present British monarchy since the days when Prince Albert married his first cousin Queen Victoria. His first name was Adolph. That’s all the help you get.
