It has a different meaning in the UK, picked up from the Raj. It means a person but you link it to something else, eg  a rickshaw-wallah or, much used in Britain in the 1980s a dole-wallah (ie unemployed person).

So apparently the Russian Duma has rejected Trump's farcical peace plan, saying only total victory is acceptable.

Interesting this gets you so upset when it was dealt with quickly and doesn't seem to have led to anything.
All that Islamophobia out there which X just let's slide by must really annoy you. You're clearly just getting a giant mega post ready.

Is there movement to keep Muslims out of British Universities?  I didn't know about that.  I really didn't know X is putting bounties on Muslims.  That's shocking.  I'm surprised that you care so much about Islamophobia.  I thought you disliked religion.

The French doc. One of the French players was saying how lovely the city is as the weather is just like Brittany.
See.
Brilliant.

Wasn't that long ago we were talking about finding an exit strategy that Putin can swallow. Now we're talking about how much land to give him. [sigh]

Yeah these are the same reheated russian max demands since 2022. The burgers have given the Ukrainians some kind of deadline to accede to Shitkopfs plan but the Europeans are starting to strangle this brainfart and the russians have not actually formally accepted the plan. Just staggering breakdown of state capacity and general incompetence on part of the Americans.

And unless the Ukrainians are in a more desperate situation than the public is being let known, it's hard to see why they'd agree to a conditional surrender where the condition granted to them is that their whole country will not be occupied right now, only later when Russia has been given the chance to regroup.

What does Wallah mean?

Swearing.

By God. (followed by I swear or a synonym). For the identity politics muslim crowd, using the name of God in vain, i.e blasphemy, is comical in a way.
