A community for discussing events around the World
Rule 1: posts have the following requirements:
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.

Putin is draining the Russian federation of money and workers, destroying the Russian empire from within, so he can pursue his personal interests of expanding the Russian Empire.
Once some people actually considered this man smart, but in reality he is a one trick pony, and the trick is disinformation, problem is that disinformation is not a strategy, it is at best a tactic, and tactics only have so many uses before they don't work anymore.

You fool! Comrade Pony has many tricks!

Agree and upvoted, but I just wanted to pedantically brag about the mnemonic I learned today:
Disinformation = Dishonest, Deceptive
Misinformation = didn't have a good one for this...
Misinformation = might be mistake
Misinformation = mistakes?
So disinformation leads to misinformation?
Ah yes of course, it was a slip-up, because in my language we use the word misinformation in the meaning of disinformation.
I have corrected the post.
Lol so Russia is running dry if they're stealing from the rich
Looks like this guy was trying to do something in Cyprus but forced home, arrested in 2025, and now having his assets seized.
Must not have been on board with the war in the beginning https://www.reuters.com/markets/europe/russias-rusagro-loses-third-its-value-after-moshkovich-detained-2025-03-27/
Hope Elon is paying attention…
yeah that will probably do a lot to make the russian oligarchs against the war
And do what? They are not some united people. They're literally just grifters that will take as much scrap as possible and if Piotr is dead and his money is taken - good maybe there's an opportunity for me to grift more now and I didn't like Piotr anyway.
They're United in their efforts to remove windows from upper floors.

heh, so Russia is going communist again..,
Again? You have to be communist once before you can be again. Putin and the oligarchs are a continuation of the Stalinist/Leninist power structures. Which claimed they were aspirationally communist. The same way Jeffry Dahlmer was aspirationally a humanist.
Nah, the power structure is just cannibalizing itself to try to preserve itself again. The Russian people will continue to be screwed.
