The quality on Reddit has really gone down with content creators disillusioned or gone, fake content everywhere (I’ve seen almost an entire scrollable thread copied comment-for-comment), and so many users wiping their comments.

The owners are acting like everything is fine, but I think there’s a good chance it keeps hollowing out until the appeal isn’t there even for casual users. They can’t really turn back at this point, they burned the bridge.

I’m with you, I judge them too. Those douchbags gave us the great Pacific Garbage Patch and microplastocs in our brains

Well at least this time it was women instead of kids.

They’re from Lemmy.ml, they just drink it straight from the bottle

I hope the speculation about them hitting missiles is right. Much harder to replace them than artillery shells or small arms ammunition.

Well, Russia actually doesn’t have a lot of fodder to throw around. They’re facing a demographic crisis even without the Kremlin’s barbaric war.

China’s population is almost ten times larger.

Another complete miss from lemmy.ml

Agreed, but the sheer manpower and economic potential (to create materiel and fund a war) are considerable.

Ahh I’m sorry to waste your time, I know about them. I just meant to say “there’s more than one!”

It’s hard to take joy from anything in this war, but seeing the Kremlin’s ammunition lighting up the sky with a thousand foot fireball, knowing it would save many Ukrainian lives, was incredible. Some of the craters in the satellite photos are very impressive.

Don’t worry, fellow Americans! A hostile foreign country manipulating your government does not concern you.

Because the CCP is run by a powerful sociopaths famous for stealing information and abusing human rights.

offensive threat

The CCP regularly, overtly threatens Taiwan and is aggressive with many of its other neighbors (e.g., ramming fishing boats).

The Kremlin is commited to spreading disinformation on social media. It’s simply good for dividing and conquering their political rivals.

They just had a catastrophic failure when they tried to rattle their saber recently. They can’t even launch a single ICBM for intimidation.

Which one?

Yes, well said. Many of them are just useful idiots.

I have to disagree. Ukraine is getting hurt, but they’re pretty successfully fighting off Russia. They sank a lot of Russia’s Black Sea fleet despite not having their own, caused nuclear-sized explosions in Russia, destroyed hundreds and hundreds of military jets and helicopters, took out several fucking AWACS, destroyed tens of thousands of armored Russian vehicles, killed hundreds of thousands of troops invading their home, developed very successful new weapons systems, held Russian territory for over a month.

The Kremlin has dragged the Russian economy into the dirt and the only “help” they’ll get after their barbaric land grab fails is one-sided deals with the CCP and India. Meanwhile, Ukraine has already received many billions of dollars worth of support from many different countries, and is on a path to membership in maybe the most valuable economic bloc on the planet.

Ukraine is getting beat up, but Russia is being destroyed.

The Kremlin is probably happy to hear it called Satan. They’re getting desperate and empty threats of global nuclear war are one of the only cards they have left.
