Rules:
-
Rule 1: posts have the following requirements:
- Post news articles only
- Video links are NOT articles and will be removed.
- Title must match the article headline
- Not United States Internal News
- Recent (Past 30 Days)
- Screenshots/links to other social media sites (Twitter/X/Facebook/Youtube/reddit, etc.) are explicitly forbidden, as are link shorteners.
-
Rule 2: Do not copy the entire article into your post. The key points in 1-2 paragraphs is allowed (even encouraged!), but large segments of articles posted in the body will result in the post being removed. If you have to stop and think "Is this fair use?", it probably isn't. Archive links, especially the ones created on link submission, are absolutely allowed but those that avoid paywalls are not.
-
Rule 3: Opinions articles, or Articles based on misinformation/propaganda may be removed. Sources that have a Low or Very Low factual reporting rating or MBFC Credibility Rating may be removed.
-
Rule 4: Posts or comments that are homophobic, transphobic, racist, sexist, anti-religious, or ableist will be removed. “Ironic” prejudice is just prejudiced.
-
Posts and comments must abide by the lemmy.world terms of service UPDATED AS OF 10/19
-
Rule 5: Keep it civil. It's OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It's NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
-
Rule 6: Memes, spam, other low effort posting, reposts, misinformation, advocating violence, off-topic, trolling, offensive, regarding the moderators or meta in content may be removed at any time.
-
Rule 7: We didn't USED to need a rule about how many posts one could make in a day, then someone posted NINETEEN articles in a single day. Not comments, FULL ARTICLES. If you're posting more than say, 10 or so, consider going outside and touching grass. We reserve the right to limit over-posting so a single user does not dominate the front page.
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

"the West's hype".
Heh.
The Rubezh/Oreshnik/Whatever you want to call it exists as less than 10 missiles. And of those, already two have been used. They were made almost 20 years ago and include components whose production was ended in 1990's and can no longer be produced by any factory in any country.
The only reason Lukašenka is talking about the Rubezh missiles is that Putin wants to scare us into giving Ukraine to the Russia. I haven't really seen any western hype of the Rubezh in the way Lukašenka talks about.
And furthermore: Rubezh is a type of missile that is banned by international agreements on reducing the nuclear danger. That the Russia has held to almost ten of those for several decades tells a lot about how dangerous the Russia is. While others have stopped using such mid-range ballistic missiles and have scrapped them, the Russia had just hidden them. And now has dug them back out and put the laber "Oreshnik" on them. Them having launched already two of their Rubezh (or Oreshnik, if you prefer that name) tells that they only use them for the purpose of scaring. If they really planned to use them for something serious, they would not launch one fifth of them without nuclear warheads as they have done now.
A cheater country, such as the Russia is, must fall.
maybe you give me source?
You idiot. Sorry, but its real fact.
Maybe you tell the international agreements?
This is the first thing that I found with a quick internet search. It'll give you enough pointers to find the rest of the information, I'm sure! So, here goes: https://www.eurasiantimes.com/russias-game-changer-oreshnik-missile/
Here you go: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Intermediate-Range_Nuclear_Forces_Treaty
And then: There were blog posts analyzing the debris of the Rubezh missile launched back in November and December 2024. The debris shows that it is not a new development. It cannot be directly proven that the Oreshnik and Rubezh are the same missile, because Rubezh, being against treaties signed by USSR, was a very secret project, of which only very little information leaked. But, the debris shows that the "Oreshnik" missiles were made around when we know Rubezh had been made. And they are missiles for the same purpose. It's unlikely that the Russia would have developed two separate missile types for the same purpose at the same time.
