Running out of money, Putin?
Of course not. Why would you suggest such a thing? I've been assured by dozens of tankies here on Lemmy that a 5:1 casualty rate and North Korea as a major arms supplier are signs of success.
We should have seen this coming. These same tankies have been claiming that North Korea is a workers' and peasants' paradise for years, that any non-flattering information on this country is just evil Western propaganda. I wish I was making this up. Even moderate tankies who acknowledge that NK is in a very poor shape by any metric try to blame this on Western sabotage, which is 1:1 a lie that the regime tells its own citizens.
Of course not! That toilet we confiscated will absolutely not be used for military purposes.
Oh wait, I forgot russians don't have those.
This is just one of many signs of the Russian economy booming!
Booming as in the loud noises that sometimes occur before large structures collapse?
The Republicans' boss is scary yo
Ay that's misinformation, hand over the wallet!
The lower house of Russia's parliament has approved a bill that would allow authorities to confiscate money, valuables and other assets from people convicted of spreading “deliberately false information” about the country’s military.
... telling the truth about the country's military.
FTFY
I think the assets of rich Russians are still just frozen. Time to use them to support Ukraine.
So far they’ve just agreed to give Ukraine the money made on interest. But yea
Would be one hell of a way to hoist Putin on his own petard if he was accountable to anybody.
They are going to need to draft more soldiers if every single status report requires one be sent the the Gulag.
That sure is a nice lookin car you got there fella.
It's like they are using AI to make up new rules and laws

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. Sources that have a Low or Very Low factual reporting rating or MBFC Credibility Rating 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 10/19
-
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.
