Welcome to c/news! Please read the Hexbear Code of Conduct and remember... we're all comrades here.

Rules:

-- PLEASE KEEP POST TITLES INFORMATIVE --

-- Overly editorialized titles, particularly if they link to opinion pieces, may get your post removed. --

-- All posts must include a link to their source. Screenshots are fine IF you include the link in the post body. --

-- If you are citing a twitter post as news please include not just the twitter.com in your links but also nitter.net (or another Nitter instance). There is also a Firefox extension that can redirect Twitter links to a Nitter instance: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/libredirect/ or archive them as you would any other reactionary source using e.g. https://archive.today . Twitter screenshots still need to be sourced or they will be removed --

-- Mass tagging comm moderators across multiple posts like a broken markov chain bot will result in a comm ban--

-- Repeated consecutive posting of reactionary sources, fake news, misleading / outdated news, false alarms over ghoul deaths, and/or shitposts will result in a comm ban.--

-- Neglecting to use content warnings or NSFW when dealing with disturbing content will be removed until in compliance. Users who are consecutively reported due to failing to use content warnings or NSFW tags when commenting on or posting disturbing content will result in the user being banned. --

-- Using April 1st as an excuse to post fake headlines, like the resurrection of Kissinger while he is still fortunately dead, will result in the poster being thrown in the gamer gulag and be sentenced to play and beat trashy mobile games like 'Raid: Shadow Legends' in order to be rehabilitated back into general society. --

While Russian forces are overextended all along the 700-mile front line of the wider war, outnumbered Ukrainian forces are even more overextended. Ukrainian defenses in the east were buckling before the general staff in Kyiv ordered parts of eight or so brigades to attack across the border into Kursk Oblast last month.

Now they’re buckling faster.

Can't stop laughing at the failure of the Reddit offensive into Kursk. An obvious gambit that Putin didn't fall for.

I also love how they claim both Russia and Ukraine are overextended. I don't think they quite understand what that word means. 🤣

Russia is losing, sadly Ukraine is losing faster.

Back a year or two ago, there was an interview where the Ukrainians said they were running their army like a start-up

This is such start-up behavior

Doing something that didn't work before, but louder and stupider

Maybe they meant "using a limitless tap of someone else's money with no realistic path to complete their goals."

Don't forget "lying about how well everything is going".
