Welcome to the News community!

Rules:

1. Be civil


Attack the argument, not the person. No racism/sexism/bigotry. Good faith argumentation only. 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. Do not respond to rule-breaking content; report it and move on.


2. All posts should contain a source (url) that is as reliable and unbiased as possible and must only contain one link.


Obvious biased sources will be removed at the mods’ discretion. Supporting links can be added in comments or posted separately but not to the post body. Sources may be checked for reliability using Wikipedia, MBFC, AdFontes, GroundNews, etc.


3. No bots, spam or self-promotion.


Only approved bots, which follow the guidelines for bots set by the instance, are allowed.


4. Post titles should be the same as the article used as source. Clickbait titles may be removed.


Posts which titles don’t match the source may be removed. If the site changed their headline, we may ask you to update the post title. Clickbait titles use hyperbolic language and do not accurately describe the article content. When necessary, post titles may be edited, clearly marked with [brackets], but may never be used to editorialize or comment on the content.


5. Only recent news is allowed.


Posts must be news from the most recent 30 days.


6. All posts must be news articles.


No opinion pieces, Listicles, editorials, videos, blogs, press releases, or celebrity gossip will be allowed. All posts will be judged on a case-by-case basis. Mods may use discretion to pre-approve videos or press releases from highly credible sources that provide unique, newsworthy content not available or possible in another format.


7. No duplicate posts.


If an article has already been posted, it will be removed. Different articles reporting on the same subject are permitted. If the post that matches your post is very old, we refer you to rule 5.


8. Misinformation is prohibited.


Misinformation / propaganda is strictly prohibited. Any comment or post containing or linking to misinformation will be removed. If you feel that your post has been removed in error, credible sources must be provided.


9. No link shorteners or news aggregators.


All posts must link to original article sources. You may include archival links in the post description. News aggregators such as Yahoo, Google, Hacker News, etc. should be avoided in favor of the original source link. Newswire services such as AP, Reuters, or AFP, are frequently republished and may be shared from other credible sources.


10. Don't copy entire article in your post body


For copyright reasons, you are not allowed to copy an entire article into your post body. This is an instance wide rule, that is strictly enforced in this community.

What's the over-under on polonium tea vs. anti-aircraft missile?

He feels like falling to his death from a fifth floor window while having tea in his countryside garden.

Grenade on the plane, Pootin likes matching pairs

I’m amazed this inept fool lasted as long as he did

inept

Kofman criticized him for a number of things, including going on offensives at times when held have benefitted from being on defense.

He's not being replaced by someone with military expertise, though, so I'm not sure that that's the driving factor here.

And his own background was in disaster response. I don't know how much of the actions taken under him were, in fact, from him. Kofman had to be guessing, to a certain extent.

He's lasted so long! Wow, it must be a record to have lived this long working for Putin.

[–] Countess425@lemmy.world 3 points 2 years ago (1 children)

He's actually been around since the Soviet Union. He perfected the art of invisible paper pushing.

Ain't got nothin on Luka

In Britain, they compare the length of your term with how long it takes lettuce to decompose. They don't bother in Russia because it's always the lettuce.

don't drink that tea!

Ammo! Gerasimov! Where's the Shoigu?!

[–] thesporkeffect@lemmy.world 6 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Great picture, as an aside, really sells the story

Putin: Off you trot then.

Shoigu: #@&
