- 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.
-
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.

General Frost?
Man Putin must be scraping the bottom of the barrel if he's using CO's from Advance Wars.
Let the winds of war bring snow
His pals in NK and Iran have been using poorly edited video games footage as propaganda for years. This is the next logical step after importing faulty munitions: importing faulty tactics as well.
As a person who has played the Arma series my whole life it is truly astounding, sad and hilarious when footage from one of those games is seriously presented as actual real world footage by any actual news outlet.
ONE
Is down!
TWO
Taking Command!
One can complain about the industrial-military complex in the US, but in Russia people literally rely on the local ammunition factory for heating their homes. Fucking hell.
Also, a boiler is broken for months in an ammunition factory in the middle of a war?? How many yachts does thr owner have??
The most charitable excuse is that it requires parts they can't get due to sanctions.
At the same time, it's a boiler in Russia. How high tech could it possibly be???
Steam Boilers are incredibly dangerous, especially large industrial ones that could be used to heat an entire town.
It’s not uncommon for a poorly run boiler system to be down for a time due to a broken makeup water pump or faulty pressure reliefs. Many industrial plants will have multiple smaller boilers for that reason, as a properly running plant will be able to bring a damaged boiler offline and bring the spare online rather quickly with little to know loss to production or heating.
If that thing ever got low on water for any reason, it would do more damage to the area than a bombing run by the enemy.
Oh completely agree. I just wouldn't think that the parts required to fix a steam boiler are high enough tech to be impacted by sanctions.
It probably isn't sanctions directly on the needed parts, but more of a lack of focus/resources to put into fixing it. It could also be an inability to pay for foreign parts due to being locked out of Swift
Oh look twenty thousand comrades just volunteered for the front line.
Sounds like the only competent general in Russia is finally giving them the cold shoulder.
Their system of centralized district heating would be so fuckin easy to break with insurrection or black ops strike.
