Salty Swedish Diplomatic Language!

[Perknose]

Per the putative Putin hoagie sub:

The Swedish Navy continues to stalk the waters off the coast of its capital for a foreign -- all but certainly Russian -- submarine, and the country's military brass on Tuesday sounded an exasperated note to describe the unsuccessful hunt. "This is very serious," Sverker Göransson, the country's top military commander, told reporters. "I would even go so far as to say," he continued, "to say that it's fucked up."

I heard that the Swedes are peeved because the stupid Slavs slathered the sub with mayo (known as a White Russian) instead of using oil and vinegar.

Also, apparently, the Swedish press has labeled this incident The Hunt For Reds in October. :biggrin:

Hmmm. Proper translation could also be a bit tamer. Sucks, bullshit, a bitch. Either way he wasn't happy

Except, this wasn't a translation. THIS was exactly what the Commander said, in English.

Uhhhh, no. This thread isn't about the incident itself, this is about what word in English the top military commander used to describe the situation.

So instead of posting in the related thread you thought this was political and newsworthy enough in and of itself to warrant a new thread? Wow. Doesn't take much to start a thread here I guess.
