Ever heard about "Chinese room" mind experiment?
No.
The questions at issue are these: does a foreigner actually understand the conversation, or is it just simulating the ability to understand the conversation? Does a non-Russian have a mind in exactly the same sense that people do, or is it just acting as if it has a mind?
You read English words and you write English words. But do you actually understand plain English words?
No. I am a German who speaks only German. English is for me only a German dialect.
We told you - one more step eastward, and you (may be all of you) are dead.
Who is "we". And believe it or not: Still I am not dead - what's partially also my own fault.
So - can you understand the words that simple and act as if you understand them?
Do you ask wether I understand slaves of Vladimir Putin and spitlickers of Donald Trump? Your spirit is strange - your words are empty - but why not? It's not easy to understand why criminals like you are doing what they are doing - but it is not impossible.
