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.

πŸ€·β€β™‚οΈ 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

    So he's joking and not joking?

    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.

    Well thats obvious but it's not like he said that just to make a joke, I think while being funny there was still intent with him saying that.

    Yes. Sometimes the truth is funny. And sometimes humor is dark.
