Russia is happy US made the same mistake as them.

[-] knightly@pawb.social 31 points 5 months ago

"Mistake"

Russia's operative in office was given explicit instructions to start this war.

[-] huppakee@piefed.social 18 points 5 months ago

Yes, and now both countries started a war they expected to easily win and now looks like they made the same mistake. There are an endless amount of differences between these two wars but it not going as easy as hoped is one very clear similarity.

Funny, even mentioning Ukraine in a post title starts a tankie fest. Fellas working overtime, I see

[-] GeeDubHayduke@lemmy.dbzer0.com 15 points 5 months ago

Seriously. It's like someone spilled tankie chum on the carpet, or something.

My instance isn't even federated with hexbear or .ml and I still see a bunch on their alts

Wouldn't be surprised if there is some program that sources places to comment for these bots. Russia would be a logical keyword in that case.

Yeah, they are in overdrive recently. Had one calling me an imperial pig for saying that the Iranian regime, a theocratic dictatorship, are not the best of guys.

Is no one considering that Russia has a uniquely qualified perspective when it comes to failure? Game recognize game...

[-] mycodesucks@lemmy.world 14 points 5 months ago

Misery loves company.

it takes one to know one

[-] Lushed_Lungfish@lemmy.ca 4 points 5 months ago

I mean, they are the experts.

Actually, question here: how many wars has Russia won that they actually started?

Afghanistan was a shit show as per usual. Russo-Japanese war was a loss, though I believe the Japanese started that one.

We can play this game, but we're required to do the US next.

Almost as though starting a war is consistently a bad idea for your country.

What is global news?

Something that happened or was uncovered recently anywhere in the world. It doesn't have to have global implications. Just has to be informative in some way.


Post guidelines

Title formatPost title should mirror the news source title. If you don't like the title of article, look for an alternative source instead of editorializing it.
URL formatPost URL should be the original link to the article (even if paywalled) and archived copies left in the body. It allows avoiding duplicate posts when cross-posting.
[Opinion] prefixOpinion (op-ed) articles must use [Opinion] prefix before the title. Opinion articles refer to articles that their publisher doesn't explictly endorse.
Country prefixCountry prefix can be added to the title with a separator (|, :, etc.) if the news is from a local publisher who doesn't clearly mention the country.
