Allahu Akbar pronounced in different intonations is what I hear in most Arabic youtube videos. They seem to be able to express everything with it.

It's a filler word, like "um", "uhh", "like", "you know", and "oh my god".

You mean it's a universal verb/noun/adjective like fuck, or shit?

"oh my god".
It's pretty literally that. It's a term of exclamation. Can be good or bad.

IIRC, the audible pause in Arabic would actually be roughly latinized "ay yella" and some speakers use it at a rate that would put valley girls to shame.

1) Google Translate is a thing.
2) There's plenty of German folks here able to verify that quote.
3) Since it's in German, you couldn't :P

And people still wonder why other people think politics is bunk. Seriously, this is just grotesque on every level. It's like reading the first efforts of a 14 year old trying to write a novel or something.
Where does the respect for these people come from?
You're talking about Cameron, someone whom no one respects and is just about universally reviled by everyone except sweet mrs piggy

Germans colluding with Germans to Germify everything with their Germiness, sounds suspish

Also implying I would trust German Translate, illumanti shills btfo

Or you're just saying that to take suspicion away from your own germanglo kaisellumaniti lizard man conspiracy.

That would be true, of course, if I also wasn't talking about the larger… uhm… issue. It's not like any of this is of particular importance. Not to speak of some of the almost comedic stuff that seems to happen in regular intervals. Most of politics seems more like a sitcom than anything. With characters painfully oblivious about their obnoxiousness, and…
I mean, just take a look at this:
Quote
Dabei wurden laut einem internen Vermerk des Ministeriums vom 7. November 2011 die Stiftungen kurzerhand zu "wichtigen Partnern" auserkoren. Sie seien damit "bei der Mittelverteilung gegenüber anderen zivilgesellschaftlichen Organisationen" – die drei folgenden Worte sind bezeichnenderweise fett gedruckt – "deutlich bevorzugt berücksichtigt" worden. Nicht nur hier.
This is about political foundations, purportedly foundations for the purpose of political education, every single one being dedicated to a certain political party and most using their money rather to provide infrastructure to said party instead of doing any actual political education. What this says here that someone thought it was prudent to print in actual bold that they were to be particularly favored in matters of finance over other organizations in the context of furthering climate protection in developing countries.
I don't even know how that kind of stuff can be taken seriously at all, not to speak how someone is brazen enough to write it into a public document.

Cameron is just how this international sitcom jumps the shark.

Antsan, I think I know what you mean. All this effort to slag politicians off for being slags and haramful to society does lead to the question of so what? What does it matter to someone's legislative skill and political finesse if they're throwing bunga bunga parties and porking it all night long?

The obvious counterpoint is is that it's funny.

"We thought we were being sent to Donbass, but it turned out we were headed to Syria." You just can't make this shit up.

Maybe he wants to annex Syria? lol

Seriously though, what the hell is Putin doing? He's making a complicated situaton even more complicated.
