A community for discussing events around the World
Rule 1: posts have the following requirements:
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.

Whatever.
Biggest false flag I've ever seen in order to mobilize and deploy their nuclear weapons
As if THIS TIME we're going to be scared into believing their busted nukes are about to launch. This is for Russia's domestic audience. If Russia used nukes on Ukraine the blowback would end Putin. Putin knows this which is why it hasn't happened.
Oh yeah, I would say like 70% of all of Putin's posturing is for the domestic audience.
Putin knows the nuclear option is pretty much all they have left, so he's going to rattle that saber as much as he can. I mean kinetically of course, because they do have very effective cyberwarfare operations, in addition to social media influence as their baseline threats.
Same difference (nti):
In February 2022, Belarus amended its constitution to allow Russia to deploy nuclear weapons on Belarussian territory. Russia deployed dozens of tactical nuclear weapons in Belarus at the end of 2023, and placed Belarus under its nuclear umbrella.
....ella..ella (sorry)
Ay ay ay
Odd thing to do with the peace talks and all
Attack the president's residence?
Russia claims to have moved nuclear-capable missile system into Belarus
It's on the title.
What? Inconceivable! I don't believe you. Prove it, with GPS or GLONASS coordinates. Your choice.
As if the two things have any relationship at all...
Given the destroyed launch sites and that most of Russia's rocket fuels turned into water from neglect... Not too worried.
