A good chance to work on my Spanish, here is Spanish PM Pedro Sanchez’ speech. The English translation is on the next page.
Pages: 1 2
"This is the Voice of Moderation. I wouldn't go so far as to say we've actually SEIZED the radio station . . . "
Full disclosure: My brain went straight to Napoleon Dynamite.
I guess the White House will officially be ‘disappointed’ and His Orangeness will commit the usual crimes against the English language in inexpertly expressing this sentiment via his social media account.
I will be pleasantly surprised if the administration is merely “disappointed.”. What I expect is more like “outraged at the betrayal.”.
That’s why I made a distinction between the official reaction (to be delivered by Leavitt) and the (formally private) rants of His Orangeness. Leavitt will of course also sneer but the wording will be more conventional.
Not a bad speech for a socialist economist. Listening to the lisp was good for my Spanish too. He lost me here:
La pregunta, en cambio, es si estamos o no del lado de la legalidad internacional y, por tanto, de la paz . . .
Pero al mismo tiempo rechazamos este conflicto y pedimos una solución diplomática y política.
IMHO, si, son ingenuous. Time will tell.
