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.

Christ. You can’t even be bothered to type “putin nuclear threats” into a search engine? Amazing how dumbasses think themselves superior.
At this stage Medvedev is using nuclear threats to separate paragraphs in his speeches.
"We will increase petrochemical output by 5%.
Nuke the West with an Atomnaya Bomba.
As defined by OECD estimates, we plan on this economic growth to take place through the remainder of 2024.”
Medvedev is so funny, he just rants about nuking the west or some other crazy shit every time he has the chance
The threats are constant. The last one, less than two weeks ago.
Never believe that trolls like that are unaware of how absurd their replies are. They know. They don't care. They enjoy acting in bad faith, because they don't actually want to persuade anyone with rational arguments. They want to intimidate, anger and disconcert people.
The article refers very specifically to a situation I. 2022.
If you think I’m trolling , find me the communication, speech or transcript, from 2022, where putin said he was going to use nukes in Ukraine
It’s needs to be prime source, please. Not An article saying “Putin said”.
you won’t find it , because jt doesn’t exist.
You will instead be confronted with the fact that somewhere along the way, you have lost the ability determine what is a real piece of journalism, and what is click bait, for dead heads.
Edit : and if you are paying attention, I’ve made no comment on the war itself . Only the quality of the articl. So my best advice, is take a deep breath and d carefully consider the words you read, before formulating an opinion and writing a reply.

No good mate . No nuclear threat, unless attacked with nuclear weapons. This is literally everyone stance on nukes - apart from maybe the Norks .
‘We will use any means necessary to defend our people …blah blah’. Is the most generic war time rhetoric going.
Read it without bias.
No. Their official position is this:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Russia_and_weapons_of_mass_destruction#Nuclear_weapons_in_Russian_military_doctrine
They annexed Eastern Ukraine, said it was part of Russia, then threatened "all means at our disposal" if anyone threatened Russia's territorial integrity. Russia including Eastern Ukraine (and Crimea). Ie. if Ukraine made too many gains in Eastern Ukraine, they were threatening a nuclear strike.
This isn't a secret. As mentioned above, it's been official doctrine for years now and they keep making these threats. Wikipedia has a summary of some of them:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nuclear_risk_during_the_Russian_invasion_of_Ukraine
For example:
https://www.reuters.com/world/europe/russias-medvedev-warns-nuclear-response-if-ukraine-hits-missile-launch-sites-2024-01-11/
These are widely understood as nuclear threats in Russian media and by Russian audiences.
Removed, racism against Russians is still racism.
Rule 4: Posts or comments that are homophobic, transphobic, racist, sexist, anti-religious, or ableist will be removed. “Ironic” prejudice is just prejudiced.
/s
It's sad that you have to add the /s
I think you just have a hard time comprending what a threat to do something is.
Threats are not often direct statements if intent. Other things like moving nuclear weapons closer to the front is a form of threats. Or saying you will use nukes to defend your territory then shortly passing a law which claims the land you invaded as your territory.
Removed, Civility:

Lol it what world is my comment above a personal attack or being uncivil.
But them gaslighting everyone on the forums about Russian nuclear threats being fake news isn't smh.
I was debating putting a /s on there, I guess I should've oops
I 100% agree with you, I was making fun of that one account copying and pasting rules in reply to comments calling out that kind of mis/disinformation
Hey buddy, bring the those goalposts back over here.
Okay completely unsubstantial reply. English must not be your first language if you don't consider those clear examples of a threat.
русский бот
What do you want me to do ? You’ve completely strawmanned it. You wanna argue about what can be interpreted as a threat, go ahead, but you’ll need to find someone interested.
I’ve shown that this is a garbage article, that’s not original work but instead written about another article, which itself was based on a non specific threat. Which is the only claim I ever made.
On the other hand, You’ve shown you’ll buy anything you read on the internet, and that you prefer to argue with people rather than do any thinking - and I’m afraid that’s not my problem.
They literally were trolling tho, they were telling blatant lies that they couldn't possibly think are real. Why are you going in so hard on removing anything and punishing anyone critical of Russia?
Inb4 comment gets removed for being uncivil or something
Oh hey just realized you're not an actual mod, you just wish you were so you could ban those pesky liberals and nazis (people who think Ukraine shouldn't be conquered and its people genocided) x3
Well, that sure is an opinion.
no, it's prima facie
“I typed it into Google and results came back so it must be true” ?
Is that your level ?
Holy fucking shit.
Really low-effort trolling.
