This Aged Poorly the Moment He Said It.

Another post about a headline because I’m too lazy to blog from my laptop nowadays, and just do it on my phone.

Here’s the very first paragraph:

President Vladimir Putin spoke of how Russians are “invincible” when they stand together as he marked the 75th anniversary of the end of World War Two in a commemoration that was significantly scaled back due to the coronavirus.

Now, I’m not a speechwriter by any means, but I don’t think the word “invincible” was the best word to use at an event that had to be scaled back because your country’s citizens were getting sick and dying at alarming rates, thereby resulting in headlines like this:

So invincible.

Perhaps he actually meant “invisible” because by standing together, you end up violating social distancing measures, contracting the ‘rona, and dying–A.K.A. going invisible.

Makes sense, doesn’t it?
