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.

This always makes me laugh when American and UK tourists go abroad and expect people to speak English. Integrate muthafuckas!
Call yourself an "expat" and apparently you never have to integrate.
So fucking many of those in Portugal. It's so embarrassing.

Once I was in a country where people spoke multiple languages. One of them was English another was Spanish. I can speak Spanish, but I’m better in English.
My friend and I went into a shop and spoke in English as most people in the city could. He just yelled at us and told us that we have to leave if we speak English.
It was weird, because, like I said, most people speak English there and he wasn’t incapable of speaking English or even ask us to speak another language.
We decided to leave and then he changed his tone completely and said English is OK.
It was so weird of him to pick a fight about that. Over Oreos.

He moved to a country that was actively waging a war of aggression, and joined the military expecting not to see combat. If it seems like something only a complete dumbass would do, that's because it is.
Also refusing to learn the local language and expects to be conversing in english
I didn't read anything about "refusing" to learn. They said they moved there in March 2025, less than 5 months ago. And that they are "embracing a new language and culture". there's a "language barrier" which makes sense since he's only been learning for a short time.
the facts are sufficient for criticism that no fabrications are necessary.

So, unfortunately, he feels like he’s being thrown to the wolves right now, and he’s kind of having to lean on faith, and that’s what we’re all doing.”
Let’s us know how that works out for you.
after a month of service, her family had yet to receive any pay.
Not so well, then?
They will get paid in thoughts and prayers soon
Immigrants in the US won’t serve in the military for citizenship!
This pathway was closed by Trump.
I wanted to serve in the military to earn my citizenship, that way the local can’t say I didn’t earn it.
Gimme one of them non-combat roles though, I don’t want any of that war business. Which is all pointless because the second a Russian asks him “what role did you serve in the military?” He’d simply reply “huh, can you speak English?” I also love the idea of him believing he’d be a correspondent despite being unable to speak Russian. Im sure his wife and daughters will enjoy their time in Russia when his military career blossoms.
Im sure his wife and daughters will enjoy their time in Russia when his ~~military career~~ ribcage blossoms.
Those drones pack a punch, you know.

Dude joins the Russian military to earn his place in Russian society and hopes to be seen as one of the Russians, is surprised that he gets treated like a Russian.
Also dude complains about migrants in the US wanting free handouts, goes to Russia and then complains that he doesn’t get special treatment.
Do we have a nomination for this year's Darwin Award?
He has kids, so only honorable mention.

If you can't speak Russian, you have no business in Russia. Very few of the people there can speak English at the level you would need to get by. And he actually believed he could join their military as a non-combatant foreigner during wartime? What a dumbass.
He complained in the article that immigrants in the United States don't assimilate. Yet he can't speak Russian. 🤔
I'm sure he has failed to see the irony in that.
If you have to run from LGBT indoctrination then you are probably LGBT. Not that there's anything wrong with that, but if he had been honest with himself he might not die in a pointless war.
You're almost 100% right. This dudes so deep in the closet he moved to Russia. That's gay as fuck.

Ukrainian officials estimated this week that more than 1 million Russian soldiers have died in the conflict
I just wanna call this out as misinfo. Ukraine's claimed numbers are casualties which includes killed and wounded. I don't know if Ukraine has any claim for number killed, but estimates are around 300k, though the fact that Russia sends soldiers on crutches to the front lines, some of those might be double counted.

Makes you wonder if they acknowledge how bad they messed up. Or is this fine because they escaped the woke. I love the part in the article that says they followed some other influencer trying to get people to move, but was only able to get this family and 1 other to do it. A lot of dumb choices here, its amazing how they somehow feel like they were wronged when they had to do a lot of choices to get to this point.
I'm sure the last thing to go through his head, other than a Ukrainian bullet, will be "at least I saved my family from being woke".
Pretty sad.

Man, I feel so owned right now.
The only thing useful this traitor's life will amount to is watering a few sunflowers.
Ukraine, sorry for letting our trash blow into your yard. This shouldn't be your problem, but since it is, be safe while disposing of it.
Now he can get indoctrinated by a UA drone. Outstanding move.
The Leopards are already so full, you can't keep feeding them like this.
What a shocker. This is like the handful of Western teenage girls who went to Afghanistan to try and be good Muslims, then discovered that meant being married off to some Islamic State soldier twice their age. Like what the fuck did you think was going to happen?

DeAnna, 42, suggested her husband had been misled during the military recruiting process.
Surely not. Russian military recruiters have the same dedication to truth and honesty as US military recruiters.
It probably would have helped if he'd learned to speak Russian.
dude if someone wrote this for a movie people would say it's too on the nose.
moving to another country to avoid "indoctrination" is exactly what a movie character would do as a metaphor for inner struggle.
being sent to die for a fascistic country would be the metaphor for the idea that running away from your self by finding refuge in reactionary attitudes inevitably kills you inside.
and him having a bunch of gay sex with fellow russian conscripts on the front lines is a metaphor for, uh... well its a metaphor
Look how far someone will go to ignore that fact that he wants to kiss a man on the lips
I see the leopards got a new face to eat.
Rest in piss 🙄
Hahahahahhahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahah.
Imagine fleeing "Western brainwashing" only to end up in a trench with five dudes and a ration pack, wondering if this is what true freedom smells like.
Putin: lol front line for you.
Derek Huffman: Curse your sudden but inevitable betrayal!
Oh. Well that’s a… drag.
I’ll see myself out.
Darwin thanks you for you service. Watch out for them drones!
The Darwin award awaits.
