Remember, nanny, that part of your function is to enrich your charge’s skillset by teaching them your language. Otherwise they will be behind when they start Latin and Marathi at {social} science camp. Babá serve também prá conscientizar, segundo Gilberto Freyre.

Could we please offer Groenland instead? And offer Sevastopol to Ottoman Empire? Or Palm Beach Island? Or Little Saint James Island? I understand that aggression must always be rewarded.

Maybe I misunderstand, but is the United States going to offer Alaska to Putin in return for Russian armies withdrawing from Ukraine? I would not support.

Putin Tells U.S. He’ll Halt War in Exchange for Eastern Ukraine

The proposal prompted talk of a summit with the Russian leader, with President Trump later saying a meeting would take place in Alaska on Aug. 15.

Foundational immigration law is morally just and has been established over millennia. Disrespecting these rules and ideals is very offensive to folks who highly value civilized society"

All these analogies are cheap, but is there a better analogy to Vidkun Quisling’s relations with Adolf Hitler? Something about the humiliating subordination of national interests?
