Ukraine
Rules:
-
No sympathy with the enemy or its collaborators. Russian and North Korean soldiers are fascists committing a genocide. Remember that.
-
Objective and factual reporting from the battlefield, parliaments, etc. is encouraged, even if it's about bad news for Ukraine.
-
Insulting Putin and his cronies (Orban, Trump, Musk,...) is absolutely fine but don't use homophobic or similar language against them. Members of the queer community don't deserve to be compared to that scum. Also: Putin disciminates against gay people. If you do as well, you're part of the problem.
-
Don't insult or use overly harsh language against other commentators.
-
Don't submit direct links to Twitter/X and Truth Social posts. You may: Post a screenshot + quote, do a full quote and name the author, direct link to a proxy service like xcancel.com, deep link an image embedded in a tweet because Lemmy will cache a copy.
-
Don't just complain about paywalls. If you encounter one, be a sport and link to an archived version instead. Use Firefox + uBlock Origin with the annoyances filters enabled and https://filterlists.com/lists/bypass-paywalls-clean-filter to avoid encountering many in the first place.

Yikes. Being called Russian propaganda for just speculating.
Fwiw I agree with you, no serious politician or officer would. Things like this just start out as an idea, maybe not even a realistic one. I'm fairly certain that if there ever was a threat of taking land from Russia, then China would step in.
I didn't call you a propaga dist, I said that Russia uses that concept of an impending NATO invasion as propaganda.
Incidentally, that propaganda is traditionally more internally focused, than external.
I had no idea.
What makes you think that China would step in?
China could join in and take South-Eastern parts of Russia, where the poulation are very asian, and were historically Chinese aligned.
I think China has a interest in keeping Russia as a vassal state if Russia falls that far. They have a lot of useful resources and it's easier to own them in that way while providing "protection" than to have to deal with annexing and everything that comes with that.
South Eastern parts could be annexed fairly easily, true. But I don't know if there are any interesting resources in the rest of Russia that China has interest in.
