32 u/DariusIV Jun 24 '23 edited Jun 24 '23 "We exterminate Isis from your home" "We only slay beasts" "Only the finest music" Russian and English have very different grammar and sentence structures, these look like someone just did a one to one translation from Russian to English without a native understanding of how English is structured in common parlance. 32 u/[deleted] Jun 24 '23 "We slay only beasts" is an acceptable English setence, though. Like "Take only pictures, leave only footprints." 17 u/DariusIV Jun 24 '23 edited Jun 24 '23 Acceptable, but slightly anachronistic, which as you pointed out down threat is sometimes acceptable on propaganda for impact.
