Putin fordert 35 Prozent der Ukraine und droht Europa mit Vernichtung
Der russische Präsident stellt neue Gebietsforderungen. Trumps Friedensplan lehnt Putin faktisch ab und verwirrt mit Widersprüchen.www.fr.de
Als erstes sollte man prüfen, was da im O-Ton ist...
Zweitens: auch Wladimir Putin macht Propaganda. Was in einer Pressekonferenz gesagt wird, muss bei weitem nicht das gleiche sein, wie in einer Verhandlung gesagt wurde. Und da war auch die FR nicht dabei.
@Eetschrijver Precies, daarom is het soms raadzaam er een uit te lichten en dus aan te geven waarom het totale onzin is.
Negeren werkt alleen als je iets klein kunt houden. Daarvoor is het nu echt te laat.
The image depicts a series of dialogue exchanges between two individuals named Robin and Nancy, presented as if they are part of a conversation or script. The text is white and arranged vertically against a dark background, likely a screenshot from a platform like TikTok, as indicated by the "From TikTok comment" notation at the bottom.
The first line of dialogue reads: "Robin crosses back to Nancy." Following this are several lines attributed to Robin: "Robin," "I hope you’ll eventually share —", and "To getting everyone to fall in love with you." Nancy’s responses are: "Nancy," and a question mark following the word "Secret." The conversation continues with Robin saying: "And with that, Robin strides off." Nancy’s final lines are: "Wait — what is that supposed mean?" and "Robin?? Robin?" The bottom of the image includes the text "[@]maxstl_".

I'm struggling a bit, today, not confident in my decision-making.
The Cat Smith is such a decided character, and I'm trying to bring him to life as best I can. I've done my best, but I I'm beginning to fear that if I do more it will just disintegrate.
I put in a few highlights, but maybe the thing to do is to leave well alone until he is placed on the final panel.
