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.

Used to be Polish (far-right) state TV propaganda. But some years ago, Polish PM Donald Tusk cleansed all state media and it should be ok now.
Is that sarcasm or real?
Nope, we have a Donald of our own.
TVP World is the English service of the Polish state broadcaster. With the PiS populists in power, the broadcaster was a major source of far-right populist propaganda. They lost power to centrists (Tusk and Co) in 2023.
While the Polish state radio is quite good now, the TV is still a shill for the government. It's just not far-right anymore.
sarcasm or real?
No, that's just reality being weird, the prime minister of poland really is Donald Tusk
Lol, you had me worrying that I had miex up the names.
I tried the privacy setting to not consent. And the UI was clearly built to mislead. So I backed out.
It's fine if you go through all the consent settings and turn them off, except for the tick box that says "I object to the..." blah blah can't remember everything it said.
Open the article. Right click the 3 ellipses in the upper right hand corner. Choose open in Chrome. Then click on the 3 ellipses in the upper right corner again and choose "Reading Mode". Now you can read the article without ads.
Always good advice! I run Firefox on mobile with the usual plugins and avoid a lot of silliness and nonsense.
Looks fine on Firefox focus
Return the favor directly on top of the Kremlin
I case anyone is also wondering that bombs measured in tons of explosives sounds pretty close to nuclear, where I vaguely remembered the number 15 tons - in case of nuclear weapons, it was kilotons, so thousand times as much.
Not positive, but the "tons" of a bomb I thought was "equivalent tons of TNT". Meaning a 1 ton bomb would produce the same explosive power as detonating 1 ton of TNT. The bomb doesn't actually contain TNT, but rather other explosive compounds that take up less space but have a higher explosive effect. So a 1 ton bomb doesn't actually weigh 1 ton. So even though we don't use TNT in bombs anymore, its still the unit of measure for bomb yield.
Also yes, this is the same system for measuring the blast yield of nuclear weapons. "Little Boy", the bomb dropped on Hiroshima, was a 15 kiloton bomb yield (even though the bomb itself weighed only 4,400 lbs (2,000kg). A modern day US "Minuteman III" warhead has a yield of of 300 kilotons to 350 kilotons (300,000 to 350,000 tons of TNT).
Another day, another war crime, with a civilian area bombed, and no consequences for the aggressor once again. Was it the US or Israel mass murdering civilians today? Nope, it was Russia's turn. Still, it's only early in the week ...
Just bomb me next. Fuck it
On a residential area.
I hope Ukraine gets our Gripens as soon as possible, preferably complete with Meteor missiles from the start, this shit can't keep going.
It is probably a year before we'll see them in action, factoring in delivery and training time, sadly.
From what I have heard, we have already trained Ukrainian pilots to use Gripen, and I seem to recall that we sent an aid package a while ago with Gripens spares to enable a quick deployment once everything was signed
I hope thats true!
I just wish we EU countries would cancel our fucking F35 orders and order the same monetary amount in Gripens instead.
Prior to the onset of war, Orikhiv, in the southern Zaporizhzhia Oblast had a population of a little under 14,000.
I would guess they chose that target because any larger city's air defense systems would have shot the Bomb down before impact.
Interesting that this is posted around the same time that I saw a post about Israel dropping big new bombs on Gaza.
Which world cup match is happening during this time?
Hold up, there's a World Cup??

So we will go and steal and sell every bit we can, and we won't let you opt out at all, thats how much we care!
Dontbuse this site as a source please
While the MOAB is the largest conventional bomb used by the U.S., Russia tested the "Father of All Bombs" (FOAB) in 2007, which is claimed to have a blast yield four times greater than the MOAB, though specifications are disputed.
One of those in the center of the Kremlin would be great.
I’d settle for a cherry bomb in putins colon
