Love how Russia still tries to make it sound like they are the poor little victims for starting an unprovoked war of aggression they could stop at any point

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.
-
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 OCTOBER 19 2025
-
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.

He’s not the only one. It’s the demagogue playbook. The world’s stage has become a high school playground where bullies run to the teacher crying when the bullied kid strikes back. Whether or not the teacher clearly saw them hit the other kid first is irrelevant – causing confusion is enough.
who is the teacher in this analogy?
Not a single entity. Their political opponents, the country’s population, its allies, enemies and trade partners and the rest of the world.
I wouldn't call it unprecedented if it's the second time this week...
Well more Russians will be aware that there is a war going on and it isn’t going well.
Has Putler maybe considered stopping the war he started?
I had a tiny violin somewhere... I can't find it
It's the tardigrade's violin now.
I deeply and sincerely love whoever made this image
He's playing it like a chello 😭
I accidentally broke mine when the Moskova sank.
Surprised they haven’t started dropping leaflets for the masses to read telling them that they’ll stop when Putin withdraws and returns their lands.
It's the digital age. As much as Russia has tried to stop it, anyone who cares already knows this. They just think it doesn't really effect them, or they buy into the bullshit Russia has said that they have to fight Ukraine because of Nazis or whatever bullshit.
Herp derp it's da BIOlAbS!
Good
Well, Putin didn't want to sit down and talk,. So.....
suck it, Pooty Poot!
