Rules:
-
No sympathy with the enemy or its collaborators. Russian and North Korean soldiers are fascists committing a genocide. Remember that.
-
Objective and factual reporting from the battlefield, parliaments, etc. is encouraged, even if it's about bad news for Ukraine.
-
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.
-
Don't insult or use overly harsh language against other commentators.
-
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.

He knows, and we know he knows.
He needs to look strong and we don't need him to lessen his position or dilute his message to assuage our pride or some shit.
Jesus, it's like you fucking gave money to their Kickstarter and are whining coz you didn't get your credit yet. Can you wait till Ukraine has won at least?
This is the leader of a country, not a professional wrestler. He doesn't need to look like anything. He needs to be careful how he negotiates, to obtain as much aid as he can. I don't think you do that by acting like you've been given nothing, when the continued existence of your nation hinges entirely on the support of NATO.
