Positions self as nation without colonial past.... Glances at Crimean TarTars, glances at Dagestan, glances at all of Siberia, glances at Russo-Japaneese war(Just because the potential colony kicked your ass does not mean you didn't try to colonize), glances at every steppe horde from hear to the east coast.. glances at Persia... And those are the ones off the top of my head...

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.

Ok lads, this is how you walk single file towards the entrenched enemy positions.
Now remember lads, if you see a drone overhead, play dead. If you're lucky it won't be the last acting role you have.
And finally, you can sell your military supplies for cigarettes and vodka. You'll travel lighter and further. When you need those things, just loot what you can from the local population and pop them in a ditch.
gets handed a stick and is told to run directly at a .50 cal
Nigerian fighter: "Wait....that's my training?"
Ork: "What more to you need!? Is best tactic!" takes swig of vodka bottle
This is the best summary I could come up with:
The Russian defense ministry sent military personnel and trainers to Niger on Wednesday to install systems and train soldiers, Nigerien state TV RTN said.
"We are here to train the Nigerien army ... (and) to develop military cooperation between Russia and Niger," a trainer dressed in camouflage with most of his face covered told RTN.
The Nigerien junta in March said it has revoked an accord with the US government which allowed American troops to operate on two of its bases
The juntas of these countries have ended long-established military deals with former colonial power France, and formed the Alliance of Sahel States (AES).
Russia has ramped up efforts to build stronger relations with African nations, positioning itself as a military power without a colonial past.
Prior to the military coup last July, Niger and the US, France and some other European countries were cooperating to fight against Islamist militias in the Sahel region.
The original article contains 353 words, the summary contains 154 words. Saved 56%. I'm a bot and I'm open source!
I could see how this would advance russia’s interest of creating a “multipolar world” or whatever-the-fuck if they were such incompetent, bumbling asscunts.
