Fucking cry. Maybe don't invade your neighbors you fucking cunts.
Don't you dare insulting their traditions, you monster! 😭
Some how I automatically read this in Greta Thungerg's voice.
How dare you!
Haha, I heard her while writing. But I'm not sure she'd be behind the statement.
Should Israel be allowed to compete?
No, I don't think so.
“I thought the Olympic Games were about sport. No longer,” Russian MP Mariya Butina tells me.
“It’s about politics, religion, everything. It’s very sad because the original idea of the Olympics was to create peace.”
“But Russia has invaded Ukraine,” I point out. “That’s not ‘peace’, is it?”
“Russia has been protecting its people,” Ms Butina responds, echoing the official line here that Russia’s war in Ukraine is all about self-defence.
In reality, the Kremlin’s "special military operation" amounts to the invasion of a sovereign independent nation.
Good to see the media not 'both siding' for once.
Is this the same Mariya Butina?
Shrug. Probably? It's not like I've heard of her before today.
Have they tried not cheating?
They're not banned for cheating (this time). They're banned for invading Ukraine.
Huh.. that seems... Difficult to manage who is allowed.
Yeah, we Brits are grandfathered in on account of not aggressively invading anyone’s country (on our own) for at least 60 years by now. Possibly.
We invaded Jerusalem in 1917 on behalf of lord Rothschild and continue to protect his colony
Huh, didn’t even notice Russia wasn’t there. Been a fun Olympics though.
Stay mad motherfucker
Argent metal intensifies
Rheinmetall intensifies
Metal.
And everyone even here on Lemmy is eating negative news like freshly baked croissants.
You're kidding, I don't ever recall seeing the ruzzians at the games before.
This must be a fun little mass hallucination from the great country of ruzzia. We never let shitheels play with us 🤷

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.
