Welcome to c/news! Please read the Hexbear Code of Conduct and remember... we're all comrades here.

Rules:

-- PLEASE KEEP POST TITLES INFORMATIVE --

-- Overly editorialized titles, particularly if they link to opinion pieces, may get your post removed. --

-- All posts must include a link to their source. Screenshots are fine IF you include the link in the post body. --

-- If you are citing a twitter post as news please include not just the twitter.com in your links but also nitter.net (or another Nitter instance). There is also a Firefox extension that can redirect Twitter links to a Nitter instance: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/libredirect/ or archive them as you would any other reactionary source using e.g. https://archive.today . Twitter screenshots still need to be sourced or they will be removed --

-- Mass tagging comm moderators across multiple posts like a broken markov chain bot will result in a comm ban--

-- Repeated consecutive posting of reactionary sources, fake news, misleading / outdated news, false alarms over ghoul deaths, and/or shitposts will result in a comm ban.--

-- Neglecting to use content warnings or NSFW when dealing with disturbing content will be removed until in compliance. Users who are consecutively reported due to failing to use content warnings or NSFW tags when commenting on or posting disturbing content will result in the user being banned. --

-- Using April 1st as an excuse to post fake headlines, like the resurrection of Kissinger while he is still fortunately dead, will result in the poster being thrown in the gamer gulag and be sentenced to play and beat trashy mobile games like 'Raid: Shadow Legends' in order to be rehabilitated back into general society. --

That link they've put in for "A massive amount of technical assistance from China" goes to an article with a list of podcast episode that say literally nothing about China.

Western “journalism” does this all the time, like a high school kid citing random books in their essay filled to the brim with bullshit they made up at 11:59pm knowing nobody would ever check

Same with NATOpedia stacking up the []s and when you click on them it redirects to siegheil1488.com/russianatrocities

[–] yogthos@lemmy.ml 31 points 4 months ago

lol the quality of western reporting on full display

[–] PosadistInevitablity@hexbear.net 23 points 4 months ago

The most massive cope possible. In fact the West has given so much technical assistance to Ukraine they are by all rights legal parties to the war…

Meanwhile China has done nothing at all, and the West lost anyways.

I hope so. It's about damn time, tbh.

And to preemptively respond to all the libs who might see this comment and proceed to shit a brick: Russia "winning" this was inevitable from the very beginning. The sooner it is finished, the sooner this particular meat grinder, which was started, exacerbated, and perpetuated by fascists and their NATO backers, can finally be ground to a halt.

Edit: I guess I should have put this in the lemmy.ml worldnews crosspost, since I don't think libs tend to stumble into the hexbear news comm much anymore.

You fool, by predicting the Ukrainian collapse you have extended the war by another year

I love how it's "Putin's" offensive, as if he's just playing HOI4 or something and making all the decisions, instead of you know, the Russian military command making the military decisions.

[–] eduds6@hexbear.net 16 points 4 months ago* (last edited 4 months ago) (1 children)

The narrative will never end. NATO will never consider Russia a censitary democracy in public, as that would undermine their propaganda. There is no autocracy in Russia, much less a dictactorship. But if they consider a censitary liberal democracy a autocracy, was 1914 france or 1950s america one of them, or were black people not humans for them?

[–] Sodium_nitride@lemmygrad.ml 3 points 4 months ago

What is a censitary democracy?

[–] yogthos@lemmy.ml 11 points 4 months ago

lol yeah they way they talk about it is so unhinged

[–] FunkyStuff@hexbear.net 22 points 4 months ago
[–] SwitchyWitchyandBitchy@hexbear.net 18 points 4 months ago

The sooner the better. It's sickening to think of how many have died so far.

[–] SkingradGuard@hexbear.net 18 points 4 months ago (2 children)

More dead nazis is always a good thing

[–] SoyViking@hexbear.net 33 points 4 months ago

More dead random conscripts is not a good thing

[–] CoolerOpposide@hexbear.net 15 points 4 months ago (1 children)

Wait are there any new advances or something?

[–] yogthos@lemmy.ml 24 points 4 months ago

Yeah, Russia's been taking positions on daily basis since Avdeevka collapse. Ukraine doesn't really have any defensive lines to fall back to.

[–] Sodium_nitride@lemmygrad.ml 12 points 4 months ago

it is essential if the likes of China, Iran and North Korea are also to be made to understand that their antagonistic attitude towards the West will meet with the same resolute response as Russia’s unprovoked invasion of Ukraine.

We in the global south know more than well enough the satanic levels of violence the west is willing to inflict on anyone who does not bow to it (and even those who do, just at a latter date).
