Which comes as a surprise to no one, because Putins life depends on it.

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. Sources that have a Low or Very Low factual reporting rating or MBFC Credibility Rating 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 10/19
-
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.

And the Russian economy at this point.
His hands were… oddly frozen the whole duration of his last speech. Almost as if it were doctored, or a deepfake.
People have been speculating about Putin's weird posture and movements for years. Whether or not it's due to health problems, he does genuinely just move weird. No need to hypothesize deepfakes.
Actually there is also the fact that in his latest speech the chair also did weird things. Like moving back and forth. Either the speech was spliced together or deepfaked. Either way there is something weird going on.
Wasn't he being seen by an oncologist last summer?
Typically, if the Kremlin says something, you consider the opposite true.
- Armour: severe shortage, soldiers often attacking in unprotected vehicles.
- Personnel: being outsourced from North Korea.
- Air defense: cannot hold back a drone swarm or decent missile.
- Rapid reserves: enough to keep Bashar al-Assad ruling Syria. Oops.
- Losses: 600 000 dumbest ones dead or wounded, 2 million smartest ones in emigration, paying taxes to some other land.
- Economy: interest rates over 20%, insolvencies widespread, butter sold from locked fridges.
...I can totally see them continue for a while, but not a long while. And the breaking point isn't linked at all to Putin's goals.
Negotiation? That's a funny way to spell capitulation.
Interesting as Trump has said he will continue arms deliveries in that case. No way even Trump could expect Ukraine to give up even more land than is currently occupied at the negotiating table. It would be a "terrible deal".
Trump only cares if the deal is good for himself not anyone else
Interesting as Trump has said he will continue arms deliveries in that case.
On Trumpisms, this translates to "give me something I want and then I'll change my mind". If Putin asks, Ukraine's getting the umbilical chopped day one.
