Yeah, but enshittification started getting to Reddit and it was a wise choice to not stay to see how it goes further, as it will become more and more corporatized.

With Lemmy my problems are only with opinions developers have (spoiler: pro-Russian tankie transphobes). But idea of Lemmy and work put into it still deserve respect.

So as for now I just hope my compatriots will catch up on Fediverse eventually (Mastodon is already quite popular).

Goddamit. Got me.

Wrong, it was to draw attention of Americans. Otherwise they wouldn’t read it.

So, searching through Russian news, I found like 1 mention of any casualties in 10 successful oil industry strikes.

So that’s just mostly peaceful civilian oil bases getting hit, that supply peaceful oil to peaceful refineries that then supply peaceful gas to peaceful Russian war logistics and other parts of their peaceful war machine.

You’re just holding Ukraine by much higher standards. While Russia deliberately kills civilians and then says “US made us do it”, so it’s okay. And Ukraine trying to carefully disarm the aggressor can also be labeled just as bad as aggression itself and blamed on US.

Man, your worldview is so warped it hurts. And worst of all - you’ve tried to tell a Ukrainian that we should just “get over that” while Russia continues to do terroristic acts just for the sake of doing them.

Did you read these articles yourself?

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Attacks_in_Russia_during_the_Russian_invasion_of_Ukraine

The main targets have been the military, the arms industry and the oil industry.

In January 2024, Putin again made statements which suggested, according to the Institute for the Study of War, that his “maximalist objectives in Ukraine” remained unchanged, “which are tantamount to full Ukrainian and Western surrender”. He again called for the overthrow of the Ukrainian government.

It’s not that I didn’t know any of these, it’s just that you just provided sources that debunk your own arguments.

Just few weeks ago Putin said in a speech (rough translation):

Russia is where Russian soldiers foot stepped.

Which is like, one of most fascist things I’ve ever heard. I’ll even provide Russian source:

https://topwar.ru/266695-tam-gde-stupaet-noga-russkogo-soldata-nashe-putin-podcherknul-chto-rossija-ne-trebuet-kapituljacii-ukrainy.html

Not to mention Russian denial of the very existence of Ukrainian identity and statehood, which he also did in that same speech.

Man, just read these sources, because you’re repeating Taco Don’s rhetoric about “kids fighting in a sandbox”.

Can you elaborate on Ukrainian salvos please? And also - on Russian peace proposals too.

No, Ukraine did not have any great “score” earlier as with operation “Spiderweb” to “provoke” such attack.

It was just our Constitution Day yesterday. Just so people here understand what Russians mean by “root causes of conflict”.

Yesterday was Ukrainian Constitution Day, and that is the main reason the attack of that scale happened. Just so some folks get the idea.

If we don’t see dramatic changes in how our allies treat Russia (and I mean much harsher approaches and not plans on how to work with Russia after the war) - “getting the hell outta here” will be on todo list for just about any Ukrainian, including veterans and people viable for service, not just kids.

I believe that Iran deserves better. I know few Iranians and they are actually cool people, who just happened to live under the yoke of folks who believe that earthquakes happen because women wear jeans.

But as much as I’d love to see Iran change for the better, I absolutely wouldn’t trust US and Israel to make that change - they’ll just dismantle the state and leave it in ruins Iraq-style.

When Moscow isn’t silent about its attacks on our civilians - it gets even worse, just remember how they claimed that children’s clinic “Okhmatdyt” was a military hospital.

Not to mention how some Telegram z-bloggers sometimes say quiet part out loud and cheer for Ukrainian kids getting killed because “they’ll grow to be nationalists anyway”.

I’ll say most Ukrainians wish both sides “best of luck” (source: I’m Ukrainian) - to Israel because they supplied Lancet and Orlan technologies to Russia, to Iran because they supplied Shaheds and ballistic missiles to Russia, so these things are what directly impacted our lives and made them much worse.

As for why Zelensky sings praises for Taco Don from time to time - I don’t believe that latter one can be swayed to help Ukraine (and Zelensky probably doesn’t believe that too) but there’s still Congress, that is somewhat cooperative from time to time, and we really need these sanctions that Taco Don now tries to delay and dilute.

Farmers in New Zealand are organized into cooperative, probably the biggest and most successful cooperative there is, and there’s almost zero subsidizing from state for them.

That’s what he says.

Ukrainian special services, on the other hand, point out servers and most Telegram employees residing in St. Petersburg and claim that he made few dozen visits to Russia since his alleged flight from there.

That may be hypocritical, but having hostile neighbour, that itself doesn’t respect any conventions (and Russians absolutely don’t mind anti-personnel landmines among other things such as cluster munitions and chemical warfare) is a good stimuli to rethink ones principles.

I think the initial motive for her appointment may have been to later eat her face. Turncoat who doesn’t mind taking money from Russia, Iran, even Assad. Of course she’d say Iran wasn’t building a nuke (peaceful 60% enriched uranium, y’know).

They specifically placed the most useless person as head of intelligence to paralyze entire agency and then dismiss it.

Good thing Lemmy is safe since .ml folks agree with MAGA on lots of things. 🌝

Eh, I wouldn’t put Gabbard and truth in one sentence though. Girl has been taking money from Assad at some point, which is like the lowest low.

The fact that Russian delegation in Istanbul among other things demanded that “both sides will refrain from suing each other in court” just tells that they know really good how fucked they’d be in Hague.
