Russia has always been a scourge on humanity and always will be, until the West can find the resolve to destroy it.
Wow, there's a lot of angry Russian trolls here
Just like Reddit.

wow you learned how to use google translate! congratulations!
Personally I'm in favor of a combined European offensive on Moscow.
Scrolling past, I thought that was a hippo in a blue hood. Now I feel bad for laughing.
Same, came to the comments to see if others had done the same.
I only saw hippo until I saw your comment and scrolled back up.
Invade Russia, gather everyone in support of Putin and the Russian war in Ukraine. Nuke them all.
I just want russia to fuck back to its backward shithole, live in their own filth and violence and never come back. We won't touch russia's borders, we don't want reparations, just fuck back off to russia and nobody will bother you ever again. That's it. No nukes, no negotiations, no blackmail: never show up again and we won't either. If you don't want russians to see Ukrainians have a go at democracy, turn off your internet and turn russia into North Korea, Kim can give you some pointers on how to do that.
That's a mighty good wish that will never come true because of its internal logic.
With their culture, if left alone, something will fester and they WILL come back.
I'd rather have Russia become an actual, real democracy that controls their police apparatus and army well. It's the only way forward
Would be nice, but there is no path there right now. Every single bridge built to them was twisted and weaponized (some of it thanks to western anarchocapitalists)
PS: it took all major armies in the world to fix France and get rid of Bonapartism, it took all major armies in the world to fix Germany and get rid of nazism...but there are no resources to fix russia and putinism, especially if MAGAts and China want to use it to keep Europe in check.
A community for discussing events around the World
Rule 1: posts have the following requirements:
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.
