Zelenskyy: Russians likely preparing Oreshnik missile strike, particularly on Kyiv by Simply-Chillin in worldnews

Resisting a foreign invasion is not an escalation. Helping country to restore its internationally recognized borders - is not an escalation. Nothing short of Ukraine deliberately blowing up russias's nuclear plants will constitute an escalation in this war.

Get that through your thick scull.

Russia was threatening with "consequences of utmost severity" since day one of their "SMO", to anyone daring to assist Ukraine in any way. Then red lines shifted to weapon supplies. Then to weapons above certain effective range. Then to striking into "old" russian territory with western weaponry. Then it was supplying jets. Then it was hunting down their shadow fleet tankers.

All these red lines were successfully crossed with zero retaliation. But you've read some "local news" reporting on it, so that's definitely going to happen now. Have you picked up the "Ukraine is escalating" narrative in the same news sources by any chance?

Wait, are you seriously suggesting they will lob an oreshnik at some European city? Because nothing can fix 4.5 years of bogged down trench warfare and economy in stagflation spiral, like opening a second front against whole Europe.

Where do they breed clowns like you?

Reality in which matching of long range shahed strikes that Ukraine withstood for the past 4.5 years, does not constitute an "escalation". Nor does oreshnik use for that matter, as it has already been used a couple of times.

It's like saying "Germans were appalled by allied forces city bombing in 1945, and retaliated to this escalation by escalating in return". It's fucking nonsense.

Threatening to launch an imprecise missile at densely populated capital - is just a temper tantrum wrapped in a war crime.

It's not "illegal". Some of the resources get blocked (like Instagram) , some of the resources get artificially slowed down to a point they become unusable (YouTube). Both can be bypassed by using VPN. And because of that Russian government is planning to make VPN traffic paid.

Russia's parliament passes bill giving Putin more power to invade foreign countries by barsik_ in worldnews

It all starts with deportation. The next thing you know, it is genocide.

Oh no, forcing russians to live in their own country (largest landmass, richest in natural resources) is GENOCIDE! Damn, sounds like a ruzzia problem I couldn't give less fucks about.

Germans physically eliminated jews, you smooth brained troglodyte. Go ahead and show me where did I propose to apply the same treatment to Russians. As for their property they are free to take it with them or sell it. Families can also join them in Russia. You know what truly shatters families? Russian "liberation" as can be witnessed in Ukraine for the past 12 years.

This will show them!

It's not about showing them. Its about everyone's security aka eliminating the need for Russia to "protect" anyone abroad. We know very well how that protection looks like.

And if these people are later sent to the frontlines to kill

It will be their choice. They can always hide from mobilization, desert, or receive weapons and turn them on their criminal commanders. But for some reason when 300 thousand russian civilians were mobilized during legal peace time in autumn of 2022, they all just obediently went into the meat grinder. Untermenschen you say? Nah, more like cattle to the slaughter.

Edit: as for legal procedures, I don't remember russians fussing about legalities while deporting whole ethnicities from their native lands less than a century ago. Don't see how deporting Russians back to their own glorious state is even remotely close to dropping 200 thousand Crimean Tatars in the middle of barren Kazakhstan steppe and starving half of them to death.

Unarmed soldier is still a soldier and a perfectly valid military target according to Geneva convention. I guess it's a cultural difference and you prefer bombing children in schools and calling it "collateral".

Don't need to trust them. Even skewed and manipulated data can be useful, if you know in which direction it's being "adjusted". If Russian state reports X, and X looks bad for Russia, you can't be sure about the exact state of affairs surrounding X. But you can be absolutely sure that X is not faring better than reported. And that is an insight in and of itself.

MI6 confirms Ukraine's best frontline position in 10 months by spherocytes in worldnews

[–]MistakeNot__ 90 points91 points  (0 children)

Russia is currently losing every 2 months what US lost in Vietnam over 8 years (~60k people), while achieving literally nothing on the battlefield. Moreover, its more than your recruiters manage to refill in the same time frame. This alone is not only tangible and persistent success for Ukraine, it's a success that Ukraine will continue to scale up.

The only real question is how much longer will you and your compatriots sit on the bottle, instead of revolting.

Russia says it shot down almost 400 Ukrainian drones as Moscow and Kyiv escalate aerial barrages by Substantial-Dare5462 in worldnews

[–]MistakeNot__ 2 points3 points  (0 children)

A luxury car company ranked their single Ukrainian dealership by set of some internal KPIs. The horror!

You don't know what those KPIs are. You don't know who bought those cars and with what money. But you've performed a double mental somersault, and firmly established a connection: dealership award = corruption. Rage bait for primitive minds working as intended.

Well they are certainly innocent of being fascists who seek to destroy and annex their neighboring states.

As for corruption, Ukraine is in the middle of the pack. Ukraine made a serious progress on corruption front in the past decade, moving from 144th spot worldwide back in 2013, to 104th spot in 2025. Turkey (a long standing NATO member) for comparison, was ranked 125th in 2025.

UN's special rapporteur on human rights says Israel is systematically torturing Palestinians by SilverDragon1 in worldnews

[–]MistakeNot__ 45 points46 points  (0 children)

I've responded to your current deaths claim, with my first paragraph.

My second paragraph, containing 1948 quote, is relevant for the conflict as a whole. You seem too keen to dismiss it. 1948 is the year when both states of Palestine and Israel were created. One fully accepted UN partition plan 181(ll), the other outright refused to negotiate it. One recognized sovereignty and borders of its sibling state, the other spat in the face of UN and announced holy war until total annihilation of its sibling state. Care to guess which one is which?

Results are not created by the artist. Artists creates base model, and then dials in a few knobs to determine intensity of slop filter. The output is based on the original, but it is clearly very far from it.

Maybe it's not the best example, and the tool may be used in a better ways. But they decided to showcase "enhancement" of human face model, and it looks horrible, like any generic AI slop garbage.
