Despite the Kremlin stating Putin will attend the G20 Summit in Indonesia next week, I will bet any amount he won’t attend in person. Any takers?
I'll take that bet.
Unless the G20 bans him, he will be there

Is the real threat to America a stunning lack of education displayed by posters like yourself?
Appeasers like Bullet_Moof have always been among the more naive and uninformed in society. Their hero Neville Chamberlain was a victim of his own ignorance of how the world works.
As a society, we must find the appeasers among us, get them away from their little lunch dates eating cucumber sandwiches with the crusts cut off, and introduce them to the real history of their cowardly ideas. Only then can they possibly change into decent Americans.

Ok how much are willing to be Putin will attend the G20 summit in person? If he doesn’t attend for any reason m, his or anyone else’s you lose.

If he’s dead, in jail or no longer in power, you still lose. He has to attend the G20 summit in person for you to win. The kremlin says he will be there.

Announcements were made yesterday that Putin... or his body double... is not attending the G20 in person.

Speaking of no-crust Cucumber sandwiches, the cheer-leading high-brows over at ISW invented a new language.
Last week, instead of the Ukraine retreating from Severodonetsk, they were making a "tactical retrograde" and a "strategic repositioning."
This week, as evacuating Ukrainian troops from Lysychansk take shelling, they are "conducting a fighting withdrawal... to force the Russian offensive to culminate prematurely."

Maybe they were DOA.
We can change DOA to mean anything we want though.
In the sage words of "The 1975", "like context in a modern debate, [you] just took it out."
You'd represent your position better offering more than puerile taunts.
Advance the conversation with facts, not insults.

These are actual and precise terms that have been in field manuals for a very long time.
Not only do you lack subject matter expertise, you can't even recognize it.

The point is it's clearly intentionally euphemistic phrasing designed to soften the narrative - and just plain unclear. Their audience are not West Point scholars, but the public.

Not the bet.
If Moscow says he will attend, then he will.
Unless outside forces prevent it.
That's my bet

The terminology may be jargon, but it is not euphemistic.
Your assessment of their intent and design is far more leading than anything they're doing.

The U.S. military drawdown in Afghanistan — which is underway but still awaiting the outcome of a proposed bilateral security agreement
— is often referred to by soldiers as "the retrograde," which is an old
military euphemism for retreat. Of course the U.S. military never
"retreats" — rather it conducts a "tactical retrograde."Throwback to when NPR was anti-war. They now use the terminology they used to mock.
