Fuck Forbes. They prop up conservatives and conservative talking points. They also post screens of tweets from conservatives, like the dickbag (from this article) who referred to the Ukraine army as "Ukronazis".

The news of this attack is great to hear, but we should not be supporting Forbes with clicks. They are the enemy.

[-] tabarnaski@sh.itjust.works 58 points 11 months ago

I tend to agree with you, but I also think it's important to know how the "enemy" thinks and interpret the news. I don't think we should lock ourselves up in echo bubbles only reading stuff we agree with.

[-] Pisodeuorrior@kbin.social 39 points 11 months ago* (last edited 11 months ago)

In theory I'd agree with you. I don't mind reading of nuances or different opinions than mine.

In general however, conservative media are worthless piece of shit embarrassments that I don't want to waste time on.

There's a difference between discussing with sometime with a different opinion, and stopping in the middle of the road responding to every deranged, mentally challenged ignorant mean crack addict who yells their vision of the world from the top of a soap box.

[-] figaro@lemdro.id 22 points 11 months ago

Agreed. They don't argue in good faith. Their goal is not honesty and truth. What's the point in engaging with someone like that?

We don't need to post their blatant propaganda as if it were a reliable source in order to do that though.

[-] SHITPOSTING_ACCOUNT@feddit.de 47 points 11 months ago

Forbes is just a blogging platform where "contributors" can post their clickbait. Forbes adds their reputation and the ads and then splits the profit with the "contributor"...

[-] Burn_The_Right@lemmy.world 33 points 11 months ago

That explains the extremely low quality content from them. Thank you.

DeVito gif May I offer you an archive link in these trying times?

I do like to see uplifting good news stories like this

[-] SubArcticTundra@lemmy.ml 65 points 11 months ago

Yeah. The gradual triumph of Ukraine makes me hopeful for the future of democracies in general

[-] waterbogan@lemmy.world 55 points 11 months ago

Yes, I hope it has been making China have second thoughts about invading Taiwan

[-] thisbenzingring 19 points 11 months ago

Taiwan will be a powder keg in China's face

I appreciate the distinct lack of hexgoons on this thread.

[-] AngryCommieKender@lemmy.world 74 points 11 months ago

I had to reread that twice to realize you weren't upset at hexagons, and was wondering where you had found graphics of the Ukrainian war superimposed on turn based battle hex maps

Out of the loop, what happened?

[-] lingh0e@lemmy.film 99 points 11 months ago

lemmy.world defederated from a instance full of pro-russia shitheel trolls who would ruin any discussions regarding Ukraine. It's very nice not having to scroll through their propaganda.

[-] youthinkyouknowme@lemmy.dbzer0.com 20 points 11 months ago

Ohh I totally forgot about the defederation. Now it all makes sense.
Thanks

hexbear is an instance full of communist trolls

[-] Quill7513@slrpnk.net 91 points 11 months ago

Being pro Russia because you're pro communist is so fucking weird to me. The Russian federation is an imperialist capitalist oligarchical fascist state.

The messaging coming from Budenov, the Ukrainian head of intelligence:

“We have the ability to hit any part of the temporarily occupied Crimea as of now. Absolutely at any point we can get the enemy. Those who have done stupid things, it’s better for them to leave,”

“And those who are waiting must prepare and do everything to help, first of all, the intelligence agencies, and then further, when the troops go into the open.”

Psyops for sure, but part of me wants it to happen. Now with this battery gone it definitely sets the stage.

[-] andrei_chiffa@lemmy.world 22 points 11 months ago

I don't think it's only a psyops.

One think is getting hit by drones and missiles. It's a whole different level to not spot a landing squad crossing almost 100km of sea, land and blow up your critical military installation.

They likely already did it last year, when they blew up planes on a Russian base in Crimea, but it is nice to see that they still very much can do it.

i wonder if Russians realize how nervous they should be.. maybe seeing Russians shoot down Russians outside Moscow will start to wake them up..

[-] awwwyissss@lemm.ee 59 points 11 months ago

Killing Prigozhin definitely pissed off a lot of nationalist Russians

[-] CitizenKong@lemmy.world 44 points 11 months ago

What I don't get: Doesn't this turn the Wagner mercenaries into even more of loose cannons? What's stopping them to just fracture into chaotic splinter groups now?

[-] kent_eh@lemmy.ca 19 points 11 months ago

As soon as these mercenaries stop getting paid, they'll wander off and find another paymaster.

his name is a really easy banner to fly now.. he basically can't do anything wrong anymore.. he died a hero trying to save Russians from the corruption of Putin.. the anger will just grow, especially once that army in Ukraine starts knocking on doors inside Russia..

everyone sees that Putin just did it because he was AFRAID of Prigozhin

today there was amphibious raid in general area of that site, with air support, presumably allowed by previous activities

GUR has released video of S400 site being destroyed, but only from the frame when explosion happened, as in, not showing what did it

[-] ATQ@lemm.ee 30 points 11 months ago

Good.
