This is part of the reason why you don't want to put a person with a fragile ego in charge of a major country.

Or any country for that matter. Hungary isnot much better, save for the lack of people falling out of windows (they only fall out of jobs so far).

That is what happens after all the people who dared to correct their superior get sent to gulag, or fell from the balcony, or committed suicide

or a company.

Or even walking a dog.

This issue long predates Putin's time in office.

For something kind of recent, see Chernobyl

[-] DigitalTraveler42@lemm.ee 143 points 1 year ago

That's some real "using a sharpy to correct a hurricanes path" energy Puty...

[-] InvertedParallax@lemm.ee 65 points 1 year ago

Remembering that made me spit out my covefe.

Legitimately my first thought when I read the headline.

"At first it was called Ehfir," Putin said. "And at one of my public speeches I was talking and said it was Sfera. I arrived at the Kremlin, and the former Roscosmos head greeted me and said, 'Vladimirovich, you said it was project Sfera, Sfera you said. That's what it is, project Sfera.'"

Rogozin, who was listening to these remarks, acted immediately—presumably to save his boss from embarrassment. After Rogozin said the constellation was named Sphere, Putin recalled that he asked how's that? Rogozin replied that it had already been renamed Sfera and not to worry.

Laughing, Putin added, "So I didn't even make it back and it's already renamed to Sfera. So I said, well, OK then."

That's almost cute.

Cute little dictator things.

And everyone kept all of their fingers and children.

The end.

Just wait until he gets senile.

It should be noted in both cases, it wasn't the leader who demanded a change, but the subordinate who did it to save face on their behalf.

I guess noses can be the same shade of brown, regardless of nationality.

"It's a bit nutty."

[-] Morphit@feddit.uk 8 points 1 year ago

A comment on that article says it's more complicated than that. The Air Force Chief of Staff preferred SR over RS and got the speech changed before the president gave it.

[-] sizzler@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

That's arse

[-] DoucheBagMcSwag@lemmy.dbzer0.com 35 points 1 year ago

Can cancer please kick this fucking douche’s ass and just keel over already?

I swear to god only the good people die young

[-] RogueBanana@lemmy.zip 28 points 1 year ago

Shit is straight out of dictator movie

[-] WhitePaintIsEvil@lemmy.world 26 points 1 year ago

That's so stalinesque it's fucking hilarious. Gonna get a sequel to "the death of stalin" at some point if we keep getting stories like this.

See, kids? That's how you avoid falling out of a window.

[-] HeckGazer@programming.dev 17 points 1 year ago

Wait till you hear about the RS-71 Blackbird :D

[-] Vex_Detrause@lemmy.ca 14 points 1 year ago

Change the name or come choke on a poisonous mushroom. It's a very easy choice.

[-] Cethin@lemmy.zip 2 points 1 year ago

Very easy. I'll have more mushrooms please.

[-] Adulated_Aspersion@lemmy.world 5 points 1 year ago

We've always been at war with Eurasia.

[-] kokesh@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

I don't really care what that degenerated fuck said.
