      Why is he afraid? Why are these assholes who have no problem sending millions of young people to their death always afraid of the consequences?

      Nearly as good would be ending the war tomorrow even if he survives.

        That’s modern war in a nutshell. Old men sending the young men off to die so the young women have to bang them.

            In ancient times (with some exceptions) the elites preserved their monopoly on organized violence and did most of the fighting themselves. Then they helped themselves to the young women without any regard for what the poor young men thought about it.

    It might only be beat by the orange menace’s death video.

    Even if they do, it’ll come too late.

    And it won’t serve any purpose. The next guy won’t be much different, and everyone thinks “well, I can learn from his mistakes, I’ll be smarter, it’ll never happen to me”, until it does.

      I don’t know that the next person will be more of the same. It depends on how this all goes down. The last time something similar happened in Russia they ended up replacing an empire with the Soviet Union, which was certainly different.

      The last Emperor was fighting a perpetual invasion, and the people eventually had enough and overthrew them. It’s very similar to today, with the only difference being that the leader isn’t an emperor by title, as much as he wants to be one.

        Yeah, that was a revolution. Today, the rich maintain control of the country. The people are largely cowed, and anyone who shows the slightest protest is arrested.

        If the people are secretly planning a revolution, I’d be very surprised.

        If it’s multistory, all you gotta do is have a nice open stairwell, then you can put a window on that and it’d do just fine for autodefenestration.

      Think of how many people (Russian, Ukrainian or otherwise) who have lost a loved one because of this man’s selfishness.

      How many people out of that group would give their lives to take his?

      He might live the rest of his natural lifespan, but he’ll probably do most of it behind bulletproof glass and security cordons.

A community for discussing events around the World

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.

  • 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 OCTOBER 19 2025

  • 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.
