      They can’t. Russia’s economy is only war now. Large parts of the private sector went bankrupt some time ago. Stopping the war would also cause an economic crash

    Don’t worry guys Trump is helping as much as he can! Causing a global oil crisis and then lifting sanctions on Russia has massively increased the profits Putin is getting from oil.

    If only we could figure out WHY everything there sucks… Couldn’t be the leadership, could it? Naaaah. Could it though?

    How about we remove the one in charge since all accountability should be at that person’s feet. Hmmm. Such a conundrum. Guess we’ll never know.

    (Fucking snakes never know when to just fuck off. The Epstein class and the rest of parasites are ruining our world— when are we going to stop this already??? So tired…)

    How many times have we heard this story? Russia days away from collapse, Putin with cancer dead in weeks, Russia is fighting with WWII shovels, only 1 week left before Russia is out of weapons.

      Exactly. Dude’s pointing Solovjov at Elvira Nabiullina. They would have been buggered years ago if she wasn’t such a genius (or allowed to resign). Now they’ve even burned through their gold reserves.

      Twisted wiener up their own ass buggered 👉👌

      Have more babies, right? Or failing that, kidnap children from occupied Ukraine? That’ll fix everything, immediately!

      Oh, and send more young men into the meat grinder. That’ll help too.

        Remember Putin was promoting young people having more babies 16 years ago, shows he was planning for war and casualties

    I do not trust the Russians and Vlad can carry on wrecking his country. Just remember, Russia signed the Budapest Agreement and fucked it all up. Zero sympathy.

A community for discussing events around the World

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.

  • 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 OCTOBER 19 2025

  • 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.
