Ukraine
Rules:
-
No sympathy with the enemy or its collaborators. Russian and North Korean soldiers are fascists committing a genocide. Remember that.
-
Objective and factual reporting from the battlefield, parliaments, etc. is encouraged, even if it's about bad news for Ukraine.
-
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.
-
Don't insult or use overly harsh language against other commentators.
-
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.

For as much schadenfreude as I get every time I see these articles, it seems like I have seen this same headline (or variations of) for over a year or two. It is hard to say how much of this is Russia digging in a hole to prop its self up and continue seeing this headline, or if these headlines are simply predicting it too early without a total picture.
Either way, they are economically fucked independent of ending the war today or a few years from now. And they deserve it in every way.
I'd love more in depth analysis than these hedline grabbing titles for sure.
Their army seems to be on the brink sort of starting now and maybe crumbling this summer, but what do I know ๐คท๐ปโโ๏ธ, those kind of things come slowly, and then suddenly too.
