Russia must be loving this. Now nobody is talking about a third of their air force being wiped out by toy drones.

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.

lol this is Putin's wet dream come true.
And still there are americans who support him and his policies
If Musk actually does go to Russia, then I think any of his American investments will be up for grabs. That would be quite entertaining.
Wait I'm out of the loop, musk and trump have been fighting?
Oh man, I'm jealous you get to hear it all at once. It's only been a couple days.
Yes, very publicly, but remember that they lie about everything anyway. So it's not like the world is a better place because two pieces of s*** are insulting each other in front of the world. They could fight today and work together next week if they think it'll get them more power and money, because that's all they live for.
No yeah I figure everything coming from those guys mouths is to be taken by with an oceans worth of salt. But besides them just shouring as we expect from the kids they are, wasn't there something that ignited it?
Exactly what everyone expected would happen is happening.
The 2 egomaniacs are sick of each other and lashing out.
he lasted 6.7 longer than truss.
its gonna be hard for this to be any more hilarious
Brought to you out of the playbook:
Of course he can, he's earned it several time over. He's done more damage to the US on Russia's behalf than 50 years of Cold War ever did.
How quickly and conveniently they offered him asylum and publicly 🤣😆
Great, a new country for Musk to rule over
Ha, not a chance. Putin is the absolute master of keeping his oligarchs in line. Muskateer would be just another convenient pawn of his. Wouldn't surprise me to learn that Putin is actually the richest person on earth, far surpassing Musk's volatile market-based wealth. Dude is pure evil, but, unfortunately for the world, also appears to be quite shrewd.
I seriously applaud whoever managed to push that through.
I don't support anything they do, but that is top tier comedy.
The dude with access to all of the federal government data gets offered asylum and you wonder how that happens?
Well both Trump and Elon have Russian ties. Right now Trump is the bigger asset to them. So if they publicly offer asylum to Musk, it makes Elon look like the worse bad guy and make Trump less bad and possibly slow any attempts to having him removed by the Senate.
So Russia can get Elons money being spent there, and Trump's dumbassery trying to reduce and remove sanctions against Russia.
In their eyes it's a win win.
Do it. Pull a Steven Seagal.
Yeah, but what would passing out and shitting himself really accomplish? Focus, man!
From Ketamine to Krokodil, hell yeah I hope Elon takes Putler up on that offer
"Elon has too much government information to go to Russia!"
Y'all, please, listen, Russia already has our government information. The important thing to note here is that whether Elon runs off to Moscow or not, Russia making the offer may well drive a wedge between Russia and Trump. That, in and of itself, is good news. Trump has very few political allies at this point, with most of the world turning against him and trusting the US less. If he is even further alienated, there's a decent chance his party loses reelection or refuses to go along with his insane 3rd term plans. It'll take us a long time to rebuild international goodwill, but alienating Trump is a good thing.
Happy to proven wrong is there's an aspect I'm not considering here, but in my mind when the fascist fight each other it's good for the rest of us. Makes them easier to tackle, especially if the nonfash (and specifically the left) can unify.
On what do your base that Russia already have all the US secrets? I see several people on this talking point and I would really like something backing this claim.
This (as it stands right now) is not going to drive a wedge between Russia and Trump That's the reason it's a lower official saying it. Deniability. But let's see how it develops from here.
Anyways I agree with you that it's always better when the right is fighting each other instead of anybody else.
I'm just here for the titty baby tears. Anything more is a bonus :)
I just want to watch Trump have a full-on narcissistic collapse.
He'd have a good time there with the others who got asylum... Assad, Yanukovych, Marsalek, ...
Steven Seagal
Snowden.
snowden was basically trapped in russia, when the us revoked his passport, because he leaked secrets much like now chelsea manning did(before her transition). people like seagull , tulsi, musk are not the same as snowden.
Snowden kinda got forced. Not even remotely the same.
So it is all theatre.
Because Russia is now involved in the "fued." Orchastraited by the Kremlin no doubt. Is it to set up reasoning to help Elon avoid legal consequences in exchange for money? Data? Is it to distract from the funding bill and policies being enacted to kill 258,000,000 Americans?
Wait, what about "killing 258 million americans"? What did I miss? That's a larger portion than I'd suspected they were aiming for...
its the amount of fentanyl, bondi claimed to have prevented that much deaths like last month.
The numbers floated around were a healthy population of "around 100m" and Bondi stated something about saving 75% of Americans.
They lie, but they certainly can't come up with numbers for a lie.
That's like 2 or 3 fentanyl pills, if I understand Bondi right...
Of course they would, think of how much data this guy has that he could provide.
