Russia has been a major player in the region for almost this entire decade. A minor player doesn't have fighter jets stationed there that we have to discuss whether or not we should shoot them down.So I'm 'spinning' because I dared to say that Russia went from being "a minor player to The Major Player in the region?" (I have taken the liberty of adding the bold, italic, and underline to highlight the clever attempt at deception the eagle-eyed 85 uncovered.)
Curses, foiled again!!! You EXPOSED my 'giant lie.'
Does my falsehood get corrected if I say, "Russia went from one of the Middle East players to The Major Player in the region"?
