Welcome to c/news! Please read the Hexbear Code of Conduct and remember... we're all comrades here.
Rules:
-- PLEASE KEEP POST TITLES INFORMATIVE --
-- Overly editorialized titles, particularly if they link to opinion pieces, may get your post removed. --
-- All posts must include a link to their source. Screenshots are fine IF you include the link in the post body. --
-- If you are citing a twitter post as news please include not just the twitter.com in your links but also nitter.net (or another Nitter instance). There is also a Firefox extension that can redirect Twitter links to a Nitter instance: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/libredirect/ or archive them as you would any other reactionary source using e.g. https://archive.today . Twitter screenshots still need to be sourced or they will be removed --
-- Mass tagging comm moderators across multiple posts like a broken markov chain bot will result in a comm ban--
-- Repeated consecutive posting of reactionary sources, fake news, misleading / outdated news, false alarms over ghoul deaths, and/or shitposts will result in a comm ban.--
-- Neglecting to use content warnings or NSFW when dealing with disturbing content will be removed until in compliance. Users who are consecutively reported due to failing to use content warnings or NSFW tags when commenting on or posting disturbing content will result in the user being banned. --
-- Using April 1st as an excuse to post fake headlines, like the resurrection of Kissinger while he is still fortunately dead, will result in the poster being thrown in the gamer gulag and be sentenced to play and beat trashy mobile games like 'Raid: Shadow Legends' in order to be rehabilitated back into general society. --

MODERATORS
Lmao libs still coping thinking that more weapons or a special shipment of wunderwaffe will fix the war this time, trust me!
Liberals are dreamers who believe in the power of positive thinking. They live in a fantasy land where they can wish for things to happen without any regard for practicality or reality. Their idealist views lead them to ignore pesky details such as production capabilities and supply chains, leaving them with fanciful expectations that never come to fruition.
It also keeps them from moving past "Russia bad" and asking why exactly is this conflict happening.
exactly
Semi-random highlight from lemmy.ml today:
Basically what happens when you've been told that you're a gifted child all your life.
Protagonist syndrome. And on related notion, look for what i got some downvotes lol:

Meanwhile, look at what gets the upvotes:

Always projection. Always.
And then China will produce another order of magnitude more than that, I mean they already have 232x the shipbuilding capacity of the US
just adorable.
Honestly that might be it. That's also why they get so angry when they encounter a leftist/socialist online who says "I won't vote for Biden", and why they more or less randomly decided that speaking Trumps name was verboten.
Ukraine showed that NATO ground weapons are nothing special. Iran's strike showed that all of the West's best air defense can be neutralized reliably. Bad day for NATO stans.
Yemen probably dealt NATO the most humiliating blow
Imagine a maritime empire that can't keep a vital trade artery open for its ships
Who will win? One large international military empire of modern nations or one smol sanctioned pirate band?
ONE PIECE REFERENCE
in all seriousness, Mao was right all along, the Imperialists are paper tigers.
What's the reference? I never watched it.
Mao was so based.
One piece is about a small band of pirates trying to find a legendary treasure. Along the way, the often get involved with people from all across the world and have to fight tyrannical governments, crime Lords and the world government (which is basically that world's NATO, but on steroids).
The funniest part is that one of the Ansar Allah guys that was interviewed kind of looks like the protagonist of one piece, and also called it his favorite anime.
World Government
Straw hats (no grand fleet)
nazis putting all their hopes in wunderwaffe? huh. that's new.
We just need to fit the ghost of Kyiv with British lasers….
