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.

Arm them with what?
They're sending you the arms, remember?
Feel free to explain to me the logic of threatening to arm a country that you're coming to asking for them to arm you.
I'm not sure why you think anyone reading would give any credence to someone who says "what you said is wrong but I'm not going to tell you why," but you do you.
Edit: Also, you're a troll account. Probably the same one as yesterday that said Russians were black people. Toodles.
A one day old account spouting bullshit a troll?
Surprised Pikachu
Russia reminds me of the black knight from Monty Python and the Holy Grail. He has all his limbs cut off by Arthur, to the point where he's just a useless torso perched on the ground. But he's still defiantly insulting Arthur and looking for a fight.
Someone should make a meme with putins head on the torso :-)
"You'll regret it!!"
tis but a flesh wound
Well, yeah, he only suffered a scratch.
Probably icbm tech or something, it's pretty much all they have left.
Legitimate question, is Russia still able to get all the materials required to make nuclear ICBMs?
Yes. The have the material resources and china hasn’t said no the them yet, so they have the technical resources.
Or is North Korea if they just get the technology and not the parts?
I mean the first ICBM test was launched in 1957. This isn't exactly cutting-edge stuff and they still fuck it up at present.
ICBM is old tech but it has advanced a ton over the decades. It is insane how accurately the US can lob a nuke across the Pacific and hit a designated test target.
The new Russian ones are supposed to dodge interceptors at their final stage and fly crazy fast.
The war in Ukraine has proven that what they say they can do and what they can actually do, militarily speaking, is vastly different. I'd be surprised at this point if a russian ICBM isn't just a homing pidgeon with a grenade strapped to it.
The difference between what Russian tech is "supposed" to do and what it actually does has been, historically speaking, significant. I'll believe this if they manage to credibly get one single munition past a Patriot emplacement or past Aegis. Until then it's all talk.
North Korea can't even successfully launch satellites most of the time. I don't think they'll be able to do much with Russian ICBM technology if they can't do something that Russia has been able to do since 1957.
Yeah they could well do a tech transfer of some older models
