Please do it Putin. WE want the excuse, NATO wants the excuse, Poland’s chomping champing at the bit for the excuse and we really want to see how long it takes them to rush Moscow.
Edit: damn it Lemmy, I’m an engineer not a dictionary.
Champ is the older spelling of chomp. They mean the same thing. At some point a shift in pronunciation occurred and spelling has reflected that, but the older version has been preserved in the phrase “champ at the bit”
I may be wrong but I think it may be more pedantic to argue that the incorrect pronunciation of a common phrase should be accepted due to pedantry is more pedantic?
Sure, with my skillset I’ll be designing and building drones by the 1000s. If that is what is required to stop a tyrant from threatening Europe hand me a long brown overcoat, hat, cigarette, and FRSKY radio transmitter!
Edit: I should emphasize, I’d rather not fight if not necessary. I’d rather be in my current job creating equipment for infrastructure that will power the green energy transition.
However, I have studied history and there are times where conflict is unavoidable especially when dealing with power mad dictators. The countries of Europe deserve to live in peace to find their own paths without the threat to their borders and sovereignty. Russia itself deserves a government that works for everyone not just the dozen oligarchs in Moscow.
Oh and for the record, fuck US imperialism (though they are a NATO ally) and fuck the CCP, yes you tankies can fuck off as well.

/pedantry
Yes
Exuberantly, with a shade of impetuousness
“My subscribers are pogchamping me, Simperial. Can you say the same?”
Language evolves.
Skibidi chomp
Chomping at the skibidi?
fr fr no chomp
Which is exactly why he’s not going to, and everyone knows it. This is to look strong for his own domestic audience.
The threat that’s actually for us is the one about arming it’s own anti-Western proxies, and it did indeed make us think twice for a few months.
Lukashenko: why are there troops with wings sprayed on their vehicles massing near my border?
Poland: Just a regular training, nothing to worry about
THEN THE WINGED HUSSARS ARRIVED
Are you ready to enlist?

How very brave of you.
So you’ve signed up by tomorrow then right? Expect you back in here with proof or you could stfu.
Why? Have I managed to miss the triggering of Article 5, the emergency NATO meetings, the declaration of war, and the conscription order?
Blimey, I really overslept.
Goodness gracious your responses to these Russian trolls are entertaining, keep it up!
I’ll go back just to fuck Putin.
Boys on the internet want it, but they won’t join in

Fighting for Ukraine against the head oligarch of Russia? Yes.
Fighting for oil interests of oligarchs in Londongrad? No.
I know this is a joke, but some people might actually have this mindset and that is very very dangerous.
