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.

Putin blames the west for everything tbh

It's Putin's version of "Thanks, Obama."

That table just gets longer and longer.

Eventually they'll have to hold their meetings on a pitch just so the table can fit.

I admire the attention to detail of the carpenters accounting for the curvature of the earth.

Just like Citizen Kane!

That's a lot of projection.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 year ago

Exactly my first thought. Actually, pretty much any criticism of someone else from Russia can usually be attributed to projection.

Good thing ruzzia is all about peaceful relations and anti-war.

A touch rich coming from the guy that has invaded multiple neighbors over the past decade or so.

Putin would blame the west for a shart in his nappy.

This is the best summary I could come up with:


In a televised statement to a meeting of members of his Security Council and the government and the heads of law enforcement agencies, Putin said the "ruling elites of the U.S." and their "satellites" stood behind the killing of Gaza's Palestinians, and behind conflicts in Ukraine, Afghanistan, Iraq and Syria.

Therefore (the U.S.) does its best to discredit those countries that insist on an immediate ceasefire in the Gaza Strip, on stopping the bloodshed, and are ready to make a real contribution to resolving the crisis, and not parasitise on it."

Having sent his army into Ukraine in February 2022 with the argument that Moscow had to free fellow Russian speakers from alleged oppression, Putin has for the last year or so cast his "special military operation" as a struggle for Russian survival against a U.S.-led West determined to use Ukraine to crush and dismantle Russia.

Putin said Russia was fighting the shadowy U.S. forces he blamed for the Middle East crisis on the battlefields of Ukraine.

He also blamed the West and Ukraine, around a fifth of which Russian forces have seized, for events in Dagestan, where a mob on Sunday night attempted to hunt down passengers who had just landed at Makhachkala airport from Israel.

"The events in Makhachkala last night were inspired, including through social networks, not least from the territory of Ukraine, by the hands of agents of Western intelligence services," said Putin, without citing any evidence.


The original article contains 388 words, the summary contains 241 words. Saved 38%. I'm a bot and I'm open source!
