Rules (2024-08-30)
- This is an English-language community. Comments should be in English. Posts can link to non-English news sources when providing a full-text translation in the post description. Automated translations are fine, as long as they don't overly distort the content.
- No links to misinformation or commercial advertising. When you post outdated/historic articles, add the year of publication to the post title. Infographics must include a source and a year of creation; if possible, also provide a link to the source.
- Be kind to each other, and argue in good faith. Don't post direct insults nor disrespectful and condescending comments. Don't troll nor incite hatred. Don't look for novel argumentation strategies at Wikipedia's List of fallacies.
- No bigotry, sexism, racism, antisemitism, islamophobia, dehumanization of minorities, or glorification of National Socialism. We follow German law; don't question the statehood of Israel.
- Be the signal, not the noise: Strive to post insightful comments. Add "/s" when you're being sarcastic (and don't use it to break rule no. 3).
- If you link to paywalled information, please provide also a link to a freely available archived version. Alternatively, try to find a different source.
- Light-hearted content, memes, and posts about your European everyday belong in other communities.
- Don't evade bans. If we notice ban evasion, that will result in a permanent ban for all the accounts we can associate with you.
- No posts linking to speculative reporting about ongoing events with unclear backgrounds. Please wait at least 12 hours. (E.g., do not post breathless reporting on an ongoing terror attack.)
- Always provide context with posts: Don't post uncontextualized images or videos, and don't start discussions without giving some context first.
(This list may get expanded as necessary.)
Posts that link to the following sources will be removed
- on any topic: Al Mayadeen, brusselssignal:eu, citjourno:com, europesays:com, Breitbart, Daily Caller, Fox, GB News, geo-trends:eu, news-pravda:com, OAN, RT, sociable:co, any AI slop sites (when in doubt please look for a credible imprint/about page), change:org (for privacy reasons), archive:is,ph,today (their JS DDoS websites)
- on Middle-East topics: Al Jazeera
- on Hungary: Euronews
Unless they're the only sources, please also avoid The Sun, Daily Mail, any "thinktank" type organization, and non-Lemmy social media (incl. Substack). Don't link to Twitter directly, instead use xcancel.com. For Reddit, use old:reddit:com
(Lists may get expanded as necessary.)
Ban lengths, etc.
We will use some leeway to decide whether to remove a comment.
If need be, there are also bans: 3 days for lighter offenses, 7 or 14 days for bigger offenses, and permanent bans for people who don't show any willingness to participate productively. If we think the ban reason is obvious, we may not specifically write to you.
If you want to protest a removal or ban, feel free to write privately to the admin that applied the rule (check modlog first to find who was it.)

Poland doesn't even need us to intervene, they will rock Putin's shit before asking for help.
Russia is actually in a pretty bad position right now. They are at an inflection point and losing the war, all things considered.
My biggest question is how Moscow will eventually concede this fact. I don’t think they will and it’ll likely end up as either a nuke being used or internal revolt and revolution
If nothing changes, in six months, there will be mass famine and near ubiquitous collapse within Russia.
Poland doesn’t need to do anything
There won't be a nuke, that's just fearmongering. There will also be no revolt of any kind, the vast majority of russians are ok with the war, they want it to end but only in their favour, because they are always given somebody to fuck over beneath them - ethnic minorities, queer people, ukranians, etc. For a revolt they would genuinely have to start starving (which I highly doubt would be allowed to happen) and even then it would be a revolt against an incompetent war monger dictator, not against the dictatorship and war as a whole. The military would most likely seize the control of the country and we would have Myanmar 2.0. It is somewhat of a collapse, especially if some municipalities decide to go rogue, more so chechnya than any others, but the country itself would most likely just remain in an extremely poor as-is state with crime through the roof like what they had in the 90s, if not worse.
Nukes are a boogey man. No nation can deploy anything like what happened in Japan. They can't even test them above ground anymore. They just don't work and no one knows why. Well some do
How in tune are you with the current situation in Russia right now? I’ll assume not much because a year ago I’d agree with you. Hell even 8 months ago.
There are gas shortages and rationing across the entire country. Truckers abandoning shipments as they run out of gas, farmers cannot operate their equipment (with the harvesting season coming soon). Civilians in Moscow cannot find gas, mass stealing of others fuel out of their vehicles, 2 day fuel lines spanning hundreds of kilometers in places far away from the front line. It’s so bad that they’ve set up portable toilets on the side of the road…
Russia, the gas station of the world, cannot provide fuel for citizens in their capital city. They are now having to import from Kazakhstan, Belarus, and India. But even that wouldn’t amount to more than 3-4% of their monthly usage.
Wanna see a revolt? That shit is on the near horizon…
You know how the maga crowd is saying that it's all just temporary hardship that they must endure for a brighter future? Apply that x999 to russians. As long as they don't have to accept 2 men holding hands in public, they will bend over for pineapples up their asses and claim that it's actually more comfortable to walk that way anyway.
Yeah, and I fully get where you’re coming from. But this is actually different.
When truckers can’t even make deliveries to grocery stores, people cannot drive to work, and are being laid off because of it, combined with the pending inability for them to harvest crops… Hungry people stop caring so much about cultural bs when they’re skipping meals. Js this is about to get really bad for them. It’s not a hyperbole.
Sir, one „internal revolt and revolution” as take away please.
