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.

I have a hard time cheering for Russian conscripts dying in Ukraine. Being forced to invade sucks and they didn’t have any good options.

But seeing a little shit like this choose to go invade and getting fucking wrecked is funny. I’m glad this dipshit is dead. lol

Once they were handed a weapon, they all have the good option to point it at their superior.

How does the CIA deputy director miss this story unfolding?

CIA deputy director of digital innovation might have missed it but luckily, the drone operator didn't.

They're on the same side?

“With his noble heart and warrior spirit Michael was forging his own hero’s journey when he was tragically killed in Eastern Europe on April 4, 2024,” his family wrote in the obituary, which did not mention Russia and Ukraine or discuss the circumstances of his death.

Perhaps not as well versed in overt ops?

From the in-depth report linked at the end of the item:

He wanted to war with the USA.

And ended up fighting on the side of Trump's USA. What a dumb ass.

I wanna hear his motivations for doing this. You got to be disconnected from reality to make this choice.
