why would a translator for Putin pick literal versions that ignore secondary meanings when so many Russian phrases just don't work that way in English? take the phrase 'in your face' which comes straight from a Russian expression meaning 'in your person' or 'in your face'. there is a whole other layer of meaning tied to лицо here and it feels like the translator is choosing wrong options over logical ones on purpose. honestly it is pretty wild to see them skip the intended sense every time. you have to wonder if these specific choices are actually intentional or just some massive coincidence.
The guy's probably just tired and picked the first definition that popped up
