Rules:

  1. No sympathy with the enemy or its collaborators. Russian and North Korean soldiers are fascists committing a genocide. Remember that.

  2. Objective and factual reporting from the battlefield, parliaments, etc. is encouraged, even if it's about bad news for Ukraine.

  3. Insulting Putin and his cronies (Orban, Trump, Musk,...) is absolutely fine but don't use homophobic or similar language against them. Members of the queer community don't deserve to be compared to that scum. Also: Putin disciminates against gay people. If you do as well, you're part of the problem.

  4. Don't insult or use overly harsh language against other commentators.

  5. Don't submit direct links to Twitter/X and Truth Social posts. You may: Post a screenshot + quote, do a full quote and name the author, direct link to a proxy service like xcancel.com, deep link an image embedded in a tweet because Lemmy will cache a copy.

The "Ukraine in NATO" deal was the open and communicated "line in the sand" for Putin.

'If you try and join the group that protects from invasions, I'll invade' is not exactly a compelling position to take.

I'm sure he'll be devastated to learn he got hit with such an epic 'um actually'

Which is interesting since, NATO has a track record of invading & war criminal activities.

So you're admitting that Russia sets NATO policy?
