So I take it, in english, "stiob" means resort to desperate BS when your main point about an evil washington DC missle system accounting for the missing flight 77 is blown out of the water because said system was decomssioned over 2 decades ago?
Or are we all just witness to another old russian tradition of "vodka?"
Grun, I am a well-educated (18 years of schooling, several degrees) Don Cossack who earned (two years of active service plus a year of military scooling) the rank of Sr Lt of the Soviet Army.
I drink a couple of glasses of Stolichnaya vodka on Revolutionary holidays, on the Day of Victory over Hitler, and on the Day of the Soviet Army and Navy. None of these festive occasions happens to fall on today. I guess it ruins your "vodka theory".
And the above lines are a good example of the Russian styob. Don't even try to understand it.
It's far beyond your comprehension.
