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.
-
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 OCTOBER 19 2025
-
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.

Their standard of living wasn't too hot during the USSR either as Russia plundered the submissive, subservient states within the short lived "Soviet Union". Russia brutally oppressed the nations of Eastern Europe to the point where they all now hate Russia's guys with a passion. Don't even get me started on the poorly thought out brand of communism they employed and the idiotic state policies.
This is conjecture and speculation on your part with no proof to back it up, typical of your lot. Putin and his cronies have robbed the nation of Russia blind. All of those mega yachts, palaces and London property doesn't come cheap. Imagine Russia was led by someone who was not a mafia boss? That fool Putin has wasted the Russian wealth fund on his colonial adventures with nothing to show for it.
Without Putin? Come on dude, that is a hilarious take, China's rise started way before Putin and he had nothing to do with it. I remember a time when Russia was the senior partner to China, Russia is now China's vassal, dependant on China for 90% of technological imports. China has Russia by the balls, I'm sure you are happier being a vassal of China than the west.
Russia and Putin brought this war on themselves. Europe and NATO never had the goal of a collapsed failed state Russia with vodka drenched immigrants and rogue nukes on its border. The EU and especially Germany fought for good relations and trade. Russia spat in our faces and now faces the consequences.
You clearly aren't watching the right war. Even the Russian milibloggers and mappers concede that Russia has been either static or losing territory for months now.
This is before we get into the Russian losses of influence in Syria, Venezuela and Mali. Russia is no longer seen as a strong or reliable partner.
No countries did this in support of Russia my delusional friend. Russia is still seen as the aggressor in an illegal land grab.
I'm trying to make sense of the slop of a sentence you wrote here. Who would Europe be opening up another front with in this scenario in addition to their proxy war with Russia?
Enjoy being a drama queen while you gargle Putin's balls. I would be delighted to see all the imperial powers collapse.
