    What?

    You do understand which country the actual English language comes from, right?
    When you say "2nd most spoken" language, are you talking about the "queens english", American english, or what?

    Isn't English the 3rd most spoken language in the world?

    And is the official language of airline industries?

    That's important enough.

    Someone, somewhere took notice of them.
    It's also the default language of commerce and science. Russia=failed superpower.

    Not particularly true but god dam it's hilarious. Putin's really putin in the boot to the Yanks and English since the Snowden affair. I love watching this. The outrage is classic, they're spitting teeth and incoherently stuttering the word dictator and gay rights in response over on reddit and other Murican sites.

    Classic.

    For every infringement on rights in Russia there is equal infringement on people throughout the world as a result of US/UK foreign policy.

    They're all as mad as a bag of cats.
