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 If you encounter one, be a sport and link to an archived version instead.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.

Another indicator that the russians are struggling with the ongoing economics of the war. Deferring salaries by a month for non-Ukraine engaged personnel.

Not optimal. Russia isn't going to tell us when their ability to sustain this war is starting to crumble, but there will be signs.

For a state that relies on the security services brutalizing dissent to maintain control, missing soldiers' paycheques is bad juju.

It also suggests that there is a maximum size to how big an army Moscow can support, and that they're likely at that limit. "Bottomless, Infinite Russia". LAFF. Only in terms of their brutality and depravity.

Whoops! I bet he has no regrets.

Regrets? I think you misspelled "better options".

I guess he lost those better options February 24 2022, but before that he had lots of better options.
