      The thing about Russia is we’ll likely never know if this was FSB, UHR, partisan forces, or a local mafioso.

          Why waste bombs when you have perfectly good windows?

      Very nice of Ukraine to just kill one russian general, Ukraine could have kiled them all. Considering russia is still tresspassing inside Ukraine without Visa, Ukraine made a huge concession. Did Russia say thank you.

        If it was Ukraine it would be understandable. But Ukraine has been quite open about claiming their targets. I don’t see it so crazy that it was someone else. Anyway…

          Which makes it unfortunately possible that this general was maybe pushing against the war from the Ru**ian POV. He may have tried standing up to Pootin, and this was the result as well as being a message to others. But yeah, we’ll probably never know for sure.

        Yes. Exactly the Russians are illegal immigrants that’s punishable by lifelong torture in a concentration camp, suspension of due process, detention without a search warrant and death according to Trump and bondi

          Good point, maybe Zelensky should announce that Trump is a wise leader so they are going to follow Trump lead and follow Trump immigration policy. Using Alien enemies act against illegal russian immigrants, tresspassers and russia nazi gangs.

    A community for discussing events around the World

    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.
