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.

He thought about it. It's a great idea cos russia does not have working nukes. I know everybody gonna come tell me the braindead thing about "how it only takes one nuke", but russia has nothing that works. They don't even have working delivery vehicles. Their last sarmat test blew up on the launcher.
I guess I’ve got no option but to yield to your superior knowledge of Russia nuclear weaponry and its operational readiness.
I will also have to concede that your plan to manage the consequences of breaching the Non Proliferation Treaties, although not included in your comment, are surely water tight .
And for these reasons, the risks of transferring nuclear weapons to a corrupt oligarchy like Ukraine I’m sure have been considered and mitigated.
Because like you said, he thought about it .
Did you get your "ehrmagherd kurrupt ukrainian oligarchy" talking points from the garbage russians? This is a rhetorical question cos I know that's where you got it from. You've done less thinking of your own and are just spouting what you heard some propaganda outlet say, cos you just repeat stuff you hear.
Anyway, I rate giving Ukraine nukes a 15/10 idea. I think Ukraine should nuke russia. And you should watch.
You are desperately in need of an argument on this, aren’t you ?

Get an adult to help you with the numbers.
There's no need for an argument. I'm right.
How is Ukraine a corrupt oligarchy? Seems to be as much as every other country in the world, probably less than the USA and Russia
(Edit: Using the definition that it's just a government controlled by a small group of people)
What do you mean “how is it ?”
Just google it mate.
It says the oligarchs were losing power for the last decade, especially after the start of the war and some "anti-oligarch" laws...
