Rules:

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.

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.

In other news, officials in Russia are baffled by the mysterious disappearance of thousands of Russian women.

If only Russians had done something about Putin and his lies before he tried to annex his version of the Rhineland.

So we did. But the government did an effective job to collect insane amount of police, all while jailing protest leaders and participants.

Stop portraying us all as lazy naive flock, and use democratic instruments and powers you still enjoy to not let that happen in your country.

This is not something with an easy way out.

Are you making a comparison to Napoléon or to 1930s Germany? Because the Rhineland was actually German and part of the German empire whereas Crimea and the Donbas do not belong to Russia but are internationally accepted as Ukrainian territory.

Oh please don't be mistaken. Their dissatisfaction is that their men haven't returned. However, they will be satisfied if simply someone else would go to kill those Ukrainians.

This is not a protest against the war, by any means.

Baby steps, at least they’re upset and the war is the root cause. Hopefully it grows into a bigger issue for Pooty

All I wanna say is that they don't really care about us

“Duh” says the rest of the world in response.

Someone who has managed to be a dictator isn’t a trustworthy person.

Betrayal implies loyalty.
