Rules:

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.

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.

Foreign ministry spokesperson Maria Zakharova accused Kyiv of "intimidating the peaceful population of Russia"

do you get to claim that when your country instigates a full-on war?

[–] [email protected] 13 points 3 months ago

What war? It's a special operation /s

[–] [email protected] 8 points 3 months ago

Yeah, who do they think is killing the Ukrainians? It's the "peaceful" population of Russia.

[–] [email protected] 12 points 3 months ago

Well, I think she's speaking the truth. Of all the Russians, those that are peaceful are probably pretty intimidated by the shooting in their vicinity.

Comrade, how can you forgets. Is special military operation, we are not the aggressor

It worked for Hitler, or so he claimed. “Poland started it!”.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 3 months ago (1 children)

Define "worked". Because Poland is where the Allies pivoted from "appeasement while we frantically try to build up fighting power" to "ok now it's war".

By worked I meant he used that excuse to invade, not the longer term effects of his invasion. If that makes sense.
