Rules:

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.

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.

The propaganda is strong. I guess we shouldn't be surprised that people in Russia are still believing things that Putin says.

Check out this YouTube channel for some insight into the Russian populations opinions on their politics... spoiler: it's mostly depressing.

There is a Ukrainian Youtube Channel where they upload interviews with Russian POWs. This is a surprisingly common story there. It's always guys saying that they were supposed to be somewhere far behind the frontline and are suddenly sent to some trench without any preparation or equipment.
