Hopefully Russia stops supplying them all kinds of gas and natural resources completely. On the other hand, Europe creating a dependency is very helpful for using it as weapon later.

No worries, the illegal russian war will greatly promote the expansion of renewable energies and reduce dependence on fossil fuels that are harmful to the climate.

the illegal russian war

Atleast we know that you are a NATO supporting neofascist, since you decapitalise the first letter of Russia and dehumanise them.

As for CO2 emissions, https://data.worldbank.org/indicator/EN.ATM.CO2E.PC tells me Russia is superior to USA, both in total and per capita metrics.

Just a side-note, an FYI, in some languages (including mine), adjectives created from capitalized nouns (such as country names) are specifically not capitalized.

"Russia" or "Russian" are not adjectives. Which language of yours is this?

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Polish (for example we would write "polskie jedzenie" instead of "Polskie jedzenie". And in this context I think the "Russian" is an adjective as it's used to describe the war. Anyway, that was just an useless fun fact.

Russian is not an adjective but a people from a particular country/nation. Every country/nation holds a prominent identity enough for its people to be designated with a capitalised nation/country prefix. You would call someone a Puerto Rican and not a puerto rican, or a Spaniard and not a spaniard, or a Filipino and not a filipino, or a Kazakh and not a kazakh. Same goes for Poles, not poles.

AngryAvocado is right though, if you look to the context of post in question, kulun wrote "russian war", which in polish would be "rosyjska wojna" - it's clearly an adjective and in polish adjectives are rarily capitalized.

Is Kulun a Pole or Polish speaker? You should see his account history and it should be very easy to see. A correlation like that is not that far off.

No idea, from what i seen he's a bootlicker (this is sadly very common for Poles in the internet) and a stalker and i would rather not dive into all the nonsense in his post history. Just wanted to say Avocado is right about the language.

Your insults are disrespectful. Now back to your grammar lesson.

Either you are schizophrenic, or you really think you can speak for others.
If I'd be truly neofascist, I´d spread kremlin propaganda all day long.

[–] [email protected] -1 points 2 years ago

Nah, you'd spread anti China propaganda the way you actually do.

Ah yes the Hitler trope of portraying the communists as Nazis, thanks for the verification.

@[email protected] here is your answer, why he decapitalised "Russian". 😁
