(Current banner: La Mancha, Spain. Feel free to post submissions for banner images.)

Rules (2024-08-30)

  1. This is an English-language community. Comments should be in English. Posts can link to non-English news sources when providing a full-text translation in the post description. Automated translations are fine, as long as they don't overly distort the content.
  2. No links to misinformation or commercial advertising. When you post outdated/historic articles, add the year of publication to the post title. Infographics must include a source and a year of creation; if possible, also provide a link to the source.
  3. Be kind to each other, and argue in good faith. Don't post direct insults nor disrespectful and condescending comments. Don't troll nor incite hatred. Don't look for novel argumentation strategies at Wikipedia's List of fallacies.
  4. No bigotry, sexism, racism, antisemitism, dehumanization of minorities, or glorification of National Socialism.
  5. Be the signal, not the noise: Strive to post insightful comments. Add "/s" when you're being sarcastic (and don't use it to break rule no. 3).
  6. If you link to paywalled information, please provide also a link to a freely available archived version. Alternatively, try to find a different source.
  7. Light-hearted content, memes, and posts about your European everyday belong in [email protected]. (They're cool, you should subscribe there too!)
  8. Don't evade bans. If we notice ban evasion, that will result in a permanent ban for all the accounts we can associate with you.
  9. No posts linking to speculative reporting about ongoing events with unclear backgrounds. Please wait at least 12 hours. (E.g., do not post breathless reporting on an ongoing terror attack.)

(This list may get expanded when necessary.)

We will use some leeway to decide whether to remove a comment.

If need be, there are also bans: 3 days for lighter offenses, 14 days for bigger offenses, and permanent bans for people who don't show any willingness to participate productively. If we think the ban reason is obvious, we may not specifically write to you.

If you want to protest a removal or ban, feel free to write privately to the mods: @[email protected], @[email protected], or @[email protected].

This information is also confirmed by Ukrainian sources like DeepState which they cite directly. Kursk incursion is about to end and it’s been months in the making, that’s just reality of things.

I am not saying about this article in concret, just saying the writer is not trustworthy in general. The majority of his articles have bias to russian side. And I stopped reading when I viewed his name. And again, spanish mass media not the best option for this topic.

Good to know. I'm using voyager and I can see my total upvote/downvote count for users as well as make personal tags for users, which makes it easy to ID the trolls

Reality of war has a Russian bias at the moment unfortunately.

El Pais doesn’t treat war like a movie but is that a bad thing? I haven’t heard them being described as mass media, more commonly it’s called a leftist rag.

Can you point out any factual inaccuracies? How is that bias presenting?

I was just enjoying reading the comments, but "Reality of war has a Russian bias at the moment"?

Are you talking of their casuality rates, their supplies now donkey run, their loss of artillery firing advantage, their demographics or many more

Or are you talking about the few kilometeres they have crawled into ukraine this year? You know, the literally slower than a snail pace they're going.

(I don't know nothing about the source's bias or anything there tho)

I meant that Ukraine is now retreating from Kursk and therefore it looks like Russia has the advantage there. Yes, I am aware that Russia advances are basically a crawl but there’s no denying that Ukraine won’t hold parts of Kursk which they hoped to use as a bargaining chip in negotiations.

I prefer to call them joint Russian/North Korean advances, because Russia needs to buy slaves from a pariah state to make any significant gains. As I understand, NK troops are only present in Kursk.

They probably don’t care what we call them, they have no shame. Funny thing is, we have NK slaves working in EU in plain sight as well. There’s been a report couple of years ago from Poland that got some international coverage but this has not ended then and those reports keep popping up to this day. Oh, the joys of living in a capitalist hellhole.

Yes, which is the only metric that seemingly the world and it's news care about...

Not the fact that by doing this Russia has destroyed it's vast military equipment reserves from the Sovietunion, gutted it's navy, airforce and so forth

But yes, it is quite unfortunate - especially as it is giving putin the means to dictate the "ceasefire" that his lapdog (trump) is giving him
