Rules:

  1. No sympathy with the enemy or its collaborators. Russian and North Korean soldiers are fascists committing a genocide. Remember that.

  2. Objective and factual reporting from the battlefield, parliaments, etc. is encouraged, even if it's about bad news for Ukraine.

  3. 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.

  4. Don't insult or use overly harsh language against other commentators.

  5. 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 ThreadReaderApp.com or Nitter, deep link an image embedded in a tweet because Lemmy will cache a copy.

  6. Don't just complain about paywalls. If you encounter one, be a sport and link to an archived version instead. Use Firefox + Cookie AutoDelete + uBlock Origin with the annoyances filters enabled and https://filterlists.com/lists/bypass-paywalls-clean-filter to avoid encountering many in the first place.

I am looking forward to when more details about this come out, if Ukraine can methodically take territory without mindbreaking amounts of losses like russia requires to do so, than russia is in deep trouble at the grand narrative level of this war.

The only way russia has been able to keep the facade of its inevitable success and power intact despite the atrocious battlefield record of their troops when push comes to shove is by leaning into the idea that drones make all other forms of warfare including armored maneuver obsolete and ineffective.

If Ukraine proves that is not necessarily true than all of a sudden russia's massive sacrifice looks hopelessly pointless and the narrative of inevitable russian strength most western media wants to gravitate towards is torpedoed.
